Overview
Led by expert Dean Bushmiller, this course explores the core mechanics of host access control systems and software to secure individual endpoints. Viewers will examine standard access controls, including identity management, authentication, authorization, audit logging, and cryptography, which form the foundation of a secure network boundary.
The course then shifts to Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), detailing how these solutions monitor telemetry, analyze behaviors, and isolate threats. You will learn critical response strategies, from terminating malicious processes to hardening systems. Finally, the material reveals how modern attackers attempt to evade EDR using driver exploits and obfuscation, equipping you to anticipate and neutralize endpoint threats.
