Securing Windows and PowerShell Automation Training:

This Securing Windows and PowerShell Automation Training Workshop is an intense 4-day training course covering the keys to hacking with PowerShell. We know that most companies have an Active Directory infrastructure that manages authentication and authorization to most devices and objects within the organization.

Many use PowerShell to speed up and simplify management, which only makes sense. Did you know that a large percentage of hacks over the last year included PowerShell-based attacks? Well, they did, which is why we spend 4 days learning how to hack like the pros using nothing but what is already available to us in Windows or now in open source code on Mac and Linux!

The PowerShell Automation and Windows Security Training Workshop course is based on real-world implementations of a windows infrastructure along with real-world penetration testing techniques. You will leave with a really strong skill set to help test your windows environment like never before. An attendee will also walk away with a strong skill set on how to help prevent these attacks from happening in the first place!
