Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

PowerShell Security is important to securely accomplish administrative tasks. It requires operational security and configuration management. PowerShell is important in security consideration to prevent unauthorized scripts from running on your system. The course will provide technologies used by the Blue Team that are geared towards implementing comprehensive, defense-in-depth security against Windows PowerShell-based attacks.   

The course begins with an understanding of architecture and components of PowerShell. Throughout the course, you will learn to deploy PowerShell security operations. As we move on, you will learn to avoid downtime, security breaches, and server performance inefficiencies to enhance server management with desired state configuration. Moving further, you will examine a script or function using PSScriptAnalyzer. Next, you will explore how to analyze and debug scripts to eliminate breaches. Moving on, you will learn to protect from unintended configuration changes by relying on PowerShell desired state configuration (DSC) and implementing the principle of least privilege in remote administration scenarios by using Just Enough Administration (JEA). At last, you will explore tracking and auditing events that might indicate exploit attempts by using windows PowerShell logging. At last, you will learn the architecture and components of Windows PowerShell DSC and carry out a windows PowerShell-based exploit to implement Just Enough Administration. 

By the end of the course, you will become proficient in identifying and mitigate Windows PowerShell-based exploits and have predominated hands-on experience in implementing windows PowerShell security.
