Practical Zero Trust Implementation, is a course that is developed to provide you with the hands-on skills required to plan for, and implement one of the fastest growing emerging concepts in security programs. By undertaking this course, you will gain a fundamental to advance understanding of the zero trust pillars and architecture, but most importantly, how to have it implemented in any organization or business. In this course you will be guided by the best practices provided by NIST, Microsoft & Fortigate. This course is not just about theory, but getting you ready for the job market.
