Why Endpoint Security Matters Today
In today's rapidly evolving threat landscape, endpoint security is no longer just a checkbox—it’s the front line. Whether you're protecting laptops, servers, cloud workloads, or mobile devices, every endpoint is a potential gateway to your organization’s sensitive data. Cybercriminals know this—and so should you.
This course gives you a full-stack view of endpoint security management, taking you beyond basic antivirus into the world of EDR, Zero Trust, and Insider Threat defense—all explained in a practical, structured, and beginner-friendly way.
What Makes This Course Different?
This isn’t a passive slide-show course or a patchwork of tools without context.
Instead, you’ll gain foundational concepts, real-world scenarios, and hands-on lab walkthroughs using lightweight, open-source tools inside virtual machines—so you can learn by doing without the need for expensive enterprise platforms.
The content is structured to reflect the actual workflows and decisions made by SOC analysts, system administrators, red/blue teamers, and cybersecurity engineers. Whether you're just starting out or looking to add depth to your infosec skills, this course helps you build an end-to-end understanding of how endpoint defense works in practice.
What Problem Does This Course Solve?
Many cybersecurity learners hit a common wall: "I know general concepts, but I don’t understand how endpoint defense works in real life.”
This course fixes that by helping you:
- Understand why endpoints are targeted.
- Build up from security fundamentals to threat detection.
- Analyze real-world alerts and tools used by defenders.
- Deploy simple Zero Trust architectures with free tools.
- Correlate logs, behaviors, and techniques the way professionals do.
What You'll Learn
In this course, you will develop the skills and knowledge necessary to:
- Build a secure endpoint architecture from scratch.
- Use Sysmon to monitor and detect endpoint threats.
- Correlate logs and behaviors for advanced threat detection.
- Ask the right investigative questions like a SOC analyst.
- Apply Zero Trust principles using built-in Windows security features.
- Detect and respond to insider threats using Sigma.
Tools You'll Use (All Free & Open-Source)
Throughout the course, you’ll work with real-world, open-source tools that are commonly used by cybersecurity professionals:
- Sysmon – for endpoint telemetry
- Process Monitor – for behavior visibility
- CIS-CAT Lite – for security baseline assessments
- osquery and Velociraptor – for endpoint visibility and live query-based investigation
- Sigma – for writing detection rules
- Event Viewer & PowerShell – for real-time analysis
What This Course Will Help You Do
By the end of this course, you will have the practical skills needed to:
- Land an entry-level SOC analyst or blue team job.
- Understand how endpoint attacks happen — and how to stop them.
- Build detection capabilities without buying expensive software.
- Prepare for certifications like CySA+, Blue Team Level 1, and SC-200.
- Upskill if you're a sysadmin moving toward security.
If you’re serious about learning how endpoint security works in the real world, from concept to hands-on execution, then this course is built for you.
