Hackers know how to use PowerShell for evil. Do you know how to use it for good? In SEC505 you will learn PowerShell and Windows security hardening at the same time. SecOps/DevOps requires automation, and Windows automation means PowerShell. You've run a vulnerability scanner and applied patches - now what? A major theme of this course is defensible architecture: we have to assume that there will be a breach, so we need to build in damage control from the beginning. Whack-a-mole incident response cannot be our only defensive strategy - we'll never win, and we'll never get ahead of the game.

By the time your monitoring system tells you a Domain Admin account has been compromised, IT'S TOO LATE. For the assume breach mindset, we must carefully delegate limited administrative powers so that the compromise of one administrator account is not a disaster across the board. Managing administrative privileges and credentials is a tough problem, so this course devotes an entire day to just this one critical task. Windows 2003 Standard Edition Iso Download more. Perhaps you've taken a hacking course at SANS and you now want to learn Windows mitigations: SEC505 is that course. SEC505 is the defense-only mirror image of SEC504 with regard to Windows and Active Directory. Learning PowerShell is also useful for another kind of security: job security.

Employers are looking for people with these skills. You don't have to know any PowerShell to attend the course, we will learn it together. About half the labs during the week are PowerShell, while the rest use graphical security tools.

Many of the PowerShell scripts written by the course author are available to download from for free. This course is not a vendor show to convince you to buy another security appliance or to install yet another endpoint agent. The idea is to use built-in or free Windows and Active Directory security tools when we can (especially PowerShell and Group Policy) and then purchase commercial products only when absolutely necessary. If you are an IT manager or CIO, the aim for this course is to have it pay for itself 10 times over within two years, because automation isn't just good for SecOps/DevOps, it can save money too.

This course is designed for systems engineers, security architects, and the Security Operations (SecOps) team. The focus of the course is on how to automate the and the related to Windows, especially the ones that are the difficult to implement in large environments. SEC505 will also prepare you for the to prove your Windows security expertise.

The GCWN certification counts towards a Master's Degree in Information Security from the SANS Technology Institute () and satisfies the Department of Defense 8140 computing environment requirement. The GCWN is also a foundational certification for soldiers in the U.S. Army's 255-S Information Protection Program. For DoD students, we will see how to apply the NSA/DISA Secure Host Baseline. This is a fun course and a real eye-opener, even for Windows administrators with years of experience. We don't cover patch management, share permissions, or other such basics - the aim is to go far beyond that. Come have fun learning PowerShell and Windows security at the same time!
