Course Outline

Introduction to Zero Trust Architecture

  • Overview of Zero Trust principles and their relevance to modern security models
  • Key differences between traditional and Zero Trust architectures
  • Core concepts: least-privilege, continuous verification, and identity-based access

Designing a Zero Trust Network

  • Segmenting the network for granular access control
  • Designing policies for resource and application protection
  • Design considerations for scalable and secure networks

Identity and Access Management (IAM) in Zero Trust

  • Implementing strong authentication mechanisms (MFA, biometrics)
  • Federation and Single Sign-On (SSO) in Zero Trust
  • Role-based access control (RBAC) and attribute-based access control (ABAC)

Zero Trust Policy Enforcement

  • Enforcing policies at the network, application, and data levels
  • Continuous monitoring and real-time threat detection
  • Automating policy enforcement through security tools

Integrating Zero Trust with Cloud and Hybrid Environments

  • Adapting Zero Trust for cloud-native and hybrid infrastructures
  • Leveraging cloud security tools (AWS IAM, Azure AD) for Zero Trust
  • Designing Zero Trust for multi-cloud environments

Zero Trust Security for Endpoints

  • Securing endpoints through device authentication and posture assessment
  • Implementing endpoint detection and response (EDR) within a Zero Trust framework
  • Managing BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and IoT devices in a Zero Trust model

Risk Assessment and Mitigation in Zero Trust Architecture

  • Evaluating risks associated with traditional network perimeter security
  • Mitigating insider threats and lateral movement in Zero Trust
  • Best practices for vulnerability management and remediation
