When it comes to breaches and incident response, you may have the best plan in place, but as we all know, it is when, not if it will happen. As a network defender, you need to proactively get out in front of these attacks to eliminate threats as soon as possible. In this course, Active Defense with PowerShell, you’ll learn steps you can take to attack the attacker and defend your network before the malicious activity spreads. First, you’ll explore ways to set traps around your systems that may look attractive to an attacker. Next, you will discover the ability to respond, hopefully before the attacker has gotten too deep. Finally, you’ll learn how to proactively review your systems to make sure they meet the standard you set to meet best practice. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge to actively defend your systems.
