Course objectives

The course aims to provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of Zero Trust Security Architecture, its concepts, principles, and models. It also intends to educate learners on the various components of Zero Trust Security, including Identity and Access Management, Network Security, Data Security, and Monitoring, and how they work together to ensure a secure IT environment.

The course’s objectives are to teach learners how to design and implement a Zero Trust Security Architecture that meets their organization’s unique needs. It also aims to equip learners with the skills necessary to identify Attack Vectors, Threat Actions, and Mitigation Strategies and implement Zero Trust Network Security Controls with advanced features such as Application Whitelisting, Anomaly Detection, and Behavioral Analytics.

In addition, the course’s objectives are to teach learners how to implement Zero Trust IAM Solutions with advanced features such as Continuous Authentication, Attribute-based Access Control, and Privileged Access Management. Finally, the course provides best practices and case studies for implementing Zero Trust Security in complex environments to ensure the success of the implementation.
