Advanced Code signing Mastery: Fast Track
RCCE students will learn code signing implementation and management including certificate management, signing key protection, timestamp services, revocation procedures, and signature verification. RCCE students will learn to implement code signing for applications, scripts, and container images, manage signing keys using hardware security modules and key management services, configure certificate lifecycle management including rotation and revocation, verify code signatures in deployment pipelines, detect and respond to unauthorized code signing, implement code signing policies across development teams, and integrate code signing into automated build and release workflows. This advanced mastery course challenges experienced practitioners with complex scenarios, expert-level techniques, and nuanced decision-making. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn to handle the most demanding situations in this domain, developing the expertise expected of senior security professionals. Students tackle multi-layered problems that require synthesizing knowledge across multiple disciplines.
