Configuration and management testing Course

In this course, we will learn about configuration and management testing. It takes only a single vulnerability to undermine the entire infrastructure's security, and even small and seemingly unimportant problems may evolve into severe risks for another application on the same server.

Course description

The intrinsic complexity of interconnected and heterogeneous server infrastructure, including hundreds of applications, makes configuration management and reviews a fundamental step in testing and deploying every single application. In this course, we will learn about configuration and management testing. It takes only a single vulnerability to undermine the entire infrastructure's security, and even small and seemingly unimportant problems may evolve into severe risks for another application on the same server. To address these problems, it is of utmost importance to perform an in-depth review of the configuration and known security issues after mapping the entire architecture.
