Security Focused Sys Admin — This course provides students with an increased understanding of how Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting/Auditing (AAA) are deployed in a modern enterprise environment. The course focuses mainly on AAA within Microsoft Active Directory domains, but also explores AAA within the areas of Linux, network devices, databases, and cloud providers. Additionally, the course will walk you through typical system administration concepts, tools, and capabilities that rely on or affect AAA within an enterprise. Specific emphasis will be placed on the security implications for all of the concepts discussed. The instructors will demonstrate how attackers take advantage of common misconfigurations and architectures throughout all of the covered topics. Best practices will be promoted with the use of a combination of open source and commercial tools. The course is taught using a combination of lectures, hands-on labs, and live demos.
