MSFT 1570 - Secure User Endpoint and Server Systems


This course introduces students to the process of designing safeguards for secure server based platforms and endpoint devices. Students learn how to assemble the design team, assess and quantify risks, and recommend countermeasures and remedial activities for securing server based and endpoint technology in a networked environment. Student develop their analytical skills, their ability to define a problem, and develop a plan of action. The course gives students the foundational knowledge needed to prepare for the Microsoft 98-367 exam - Security Fundamentals.

Credits: 3
