Description

In this course you will learn about Windows Endpoint Security. It is a beginners course that doesn't need any prior knowledge. You will see how a Windows computer can get hacked (demo) and all the steps you can do to investigate a Windows system.

You will learn about tools like Microsoft Defender, TCP View, Task Manager and others. Each tool has its unique purpose and can assist you with the security of your Windows device.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is a comprehensive security solution that helps organizations defend against threats including malware, viruses, and phishing attacks. It also includes features like device management and data loss prevention.

TCP View lets you see network connections from your device to the internet. Hackers often have a connection to your device to remotely control it, use a so called reverse shell. This makes your computer connect to one of theirs, and allows them to remotely control it. They can access files, microphone, webcam and much more.
