Examine end-user security concepts such as shared responsibilities and policies, physical controls, authentication, software, and best practices.

Examine end-user security from the security administrator point-of-view including threatscape, security policies, training and awareness, Layer 2 security, 802.1X, MACsec, EDR, advanced endpoint protection, and vendor solutions.

Examine end-user security from the rogue attacker point-of-view including motivations, MaaS, phishing techniques, ransomware, data theft, cryptojacking, DoS, and toolkits.

• Network anomalies are behaviors or activities that deviate from

• the norm. It is important that security professionals learn to
• monitor for these anomalies in network traffic because the traffic
• could be malicious traffic. Explore the role network and security
• professionals play in detecting and addressing anomalies,
• determining if anomalies are malicious, and best practices in
• monitoring and detection.

Explore best practices for anomaly detection for network forensics with topics such as network behavior anomaly detection, frequency analysis, identifying beaconing activity, and recognizing the signs of a brute force attack. Also discover protocal and popluation analysis, HTTPS and SSH attacks, as well as triage methods.

Digital Forensic Techniques & Investigative Approaches

Explore security risk management concepts and discover how to assess, categorize, monitor, and respond to organizational risks. Examine key terms such as threats, vulnerabilities, impacts, and risks, as well as the steps involved in the NIST risk management framework.
