Overview

Relying on a single firewall cannot protect against modern threats. In this course, Dean Bushmiller explores Defense-in-Depth, a core strategy that layers heterogeneous technologies to safeguard assets. You will learn to apply overlapping security mechanisms, ensuring threats missed by one control are intercepted by another.

Viewers will explore the risk management lifecycle, learning to assess vulnerabilities, deploy controls, and continuously tune defenses. You will discover how to customize deployments based on asset classification, attacker tactics, and the CIA triad. By analyzing real attack scenarios, you will gain the practical expertise to map specific controls against common attack vectors and build highly resilient, multi-layered security architectures.
