Don't let this gap widen
Why this program matters
Companies that neglect advanced OpenSSL mastery expose their systems to interception attacks and data theft.
According to recent studies, 43 % of security incidents stem from misconfigured certificates.
This gap leads to GDPR fines, loss of customer trust, and costly production shutdowns.
Professionals without these skills see their employability decline amid rising demand for cryptography specialists.
Act now to secure your infrastructure and your career.

Module 1Theme: Advanced OpenSSL installation and configuration for PKI (OpenSSL tools, secure compilation methods, root certificate deliverables)
Participants discover optimized OpenSSL installation in a Linux environment, explore compilation options to enhance security, and create a root certification authority. They perform practical exercises generating private keys and self-signed certificates, analyze openssl.cnf configuration files, and produce a complete initial PKI deliverable usable in production.
Module 2Theme: Certificate management and intermediate authorities with OpenSSL (OpenSSL tools, revocation methods, CRL and OCSP deliverables)
This day deepens the creation of intermediate authorities, cross-signing, and implementation of revocation lists. Learners configure an OCSP server, generate certificates for web servers and clients, test trust chains, and deliver a functional revocation infrastructure with detailed technical documentation.
Module 3Theme: SSL/TLS hardening with OpenSSL for servers and clients (OpenSSL tools, hardening methods, encrypted configuration deliverables)
Professionals learn to configure robust cryptographic suites, enable perfect forward secrecy, and deploy certificates on Apache and Nginx. They perform configuration audits with OpenSSL tools, remediate common vulnerabilities, and produce hardened TLS configuration deliverables for enterprise environments.
Module 4Theme: Hashing, encryption, and signatures with OpenSSL (OpenSSL tools, data protection methods, automated script deliverables)
The training covers modern hashing algorithms, symmetric and asymmetric encryption, as well as digital signature creation.

Our method
Training quality, guaranteed at every step
Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.
You meet the trainer beforehand
30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.
- Live briefing on goals and team context.
- Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Content tailored to your context
No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.
- Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
- Program co-written then validated by your team.
Continuous quality follow-up
Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.
- NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
- Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.
A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
