Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

As the entry point to your online services, Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to attacks and security risks. You can protect your organization’s data by focusing on security and hardening of your environment.

In this course we will investigate the Apache HTTP Server’s place in the typical web service setup and inspect potential risks. You will learn to protect the server on multiple levels: installation, configuration, and traffic encryption. We will also investigate monitoring and logging as a way of understanding your server. You will set up protection against common vulnerabilities, such as Clickjacking and Denial-of-Service attacks.

By the end of the course, you will gain a deeper understanding of risk vectors, and by applying these measures your Apache HTTP Server will be the vital part of your services without compromising the security of your data.
