Course Overview

The Zero Trust model relies on contextual awareness to adaptively grant access to authorized users using patterns based on identity, time, and device posture. It tightens the reins on access security while giving your users their choice of devices and apps. Zero Trust stretches across Information Technology (IT) functions, including security, networking, applications, and data, to finance, HR, and C-suite executives because sensitive data must be identified, mapped, and safeguarded. 

The course begins with the evolution of the network and security. As you move on, you will learn to create network and security architecture. Further, you will understand how zero-trust networking works. Additionally, you will discover some of the components used to create a new network and security model and a good understanding of how Zero Trust Networking works. In addition, you will learn the two main Zero Trust Networking concepts, micro-segmentation, and software-defined perimeter. 

By the end of the course, you will become an expert and gain the ability to evolve your network to match the new digital world and combat the bad actors both internal and external to your network.
