Course Overview
In this follow-up to the Master Class Active Directory Security, you will learn everything that could not be discussed in the first course due to time and know-how constraints.
We have added another "spurt" of security topics.
Look forward to a worthy successor to our Master Class Active Directory Security.
Please note:
You can only participate in this follow-up course if you have previously attended the Master Class Active Directory Security with Andy Wendel as trainer.
In the first MasterClass Active Directory Security course, we already covered the most important topics for securing your Active Directory.
Over the last few years, the questions for even deeper topics and approaches have become louder and louder in our courses.
