Hi everyone.
I'm Chris.
And welcome to my course on Enterprise Security fundamentals.
First of all I want to let you know that this is the first course from a series of nine courses which
are designed to get you started and solidify your overall knowledge in becoming a security professional
in the let's say track of these nine courses we will be discussing a lot of things and security concepts.
And we will focus mostly on Microsoft's security tools and services both the on premises and built into
the operating system like Windows Defender or Advanced Threat analytics.
And of course the Microsoft's cloud security features and services like let's see Asia Advanced Threat
Protection Windows Defender then the threat protection or the office three sixty five Advanced Threat
protections which of course are the latest security tools offered by Microsoft.
First of all in this course we will deeply examine concepts like the red team blue team security professionals
where do you and I will practice red team versus Blue Team exercises.
Of course where one group of security pros would be attacking some parts or the part of companies infrastructure.
The are also known as the red team and the opposing group also known as the blue team will defend against
these attacks.
And both teams will be working together on strengthening the company's defenses.
All first of all let's talk about who should be the audience for this course.
Well students who will be enrolling in this course should have some prerequisites before taking the
course.
And some of them are as follows You should have some basic experience with Windows server administration
maintenance and troubleshooting.
You should also have some basic experience and understanding of Windows networking technologies that
include the Windows Firewall network settings cloud services and concepts.
You should also have at least an introductory level of knowledge of Active Directory including functions
of a domain controller sign on services and of course an understanding of group policy.
Whether you are a system administrator or a network administrator or if you're already working as a
security administrator taking this course will gain or solidify your knowledge in the proper and latest
strategies and security methodologies available in the industry.
Now what you will be learning after during this course and what you will be able to do after completing
this course.
So you will be able to describe the current enterprise security landscape.
You will also be able to define and explain the assume compromise approach which is by the way the we
and the industry latest mindset.
Let's see.
In approaching an enterprise security and cybersecurity overall of course what we've already discussed.
We will practice red team versus Blue Team exercises.
And after completing the course you will be able to detail these exercises the proper way to do them
and explain the various phases in these kind of exercises like you should be able to detail and explain
the red team kill chain including its steps or phases.
However you want to call them.
Let's say like reconnaissance gaining a beachhead on the network persistence lateral movement elevation
and detail exfiltration of course.
You'll also be able to explain in detail the blue team kill chain including gathering baseline data
detection alerting Investigation Response and last but not least execution.
And of course you will be able after this course to properly develop an organization an organization
a security preparation to create this security processes and also to create a proper security incident
response plan.
I hope you will join me in this course and in the next course is in the series.
I hope this has been informative for you and I'll be seeing you in the next lesson.
