Endpoint Security Course

The endpoint is one of the most critical parts of the network to defend, particularly since network threats often affect the weakest link in a network’s security. In this course, we will discuss protecting the endpoint, anti-malware and host-based IDS/IPSes, endpoint hardening and using mobile device management to lock down mobile devices.

This course will help you understand additional information about the security of your organization’s endpoints with a focus on locking down individual devices in the network. A general overview of endpoint protection is the first section of the course, after which we discuss anti-malware software as well as host-based IDS/IPSes. We also discuss endpoint hardening and using MDM (mobile device management) systems to lock down your organization’s endpoints.
