Privilege management Architecture Patterns
RCCE students will learn endpoint privilege management including least-privilege enforcement, local administrator account removal, application elevation controls, and just-in-time access provisioning. RCCE students will learn to implement privilege management solutions that remove standing administrator access from endpoints, configure application-level elevation policies, manage service account privileges, implement just-in-time and just-enough-access models, audit privilege usage across the environment, detect and respond to privilege escalation attempts, and measure the reduction in attack surface achieved through privilege management programs. This architecture course teaches secure system design using proven patterns, guardrails, and reference architectures. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn to evaluate design options against security requirements, make informed trade-off decisions, and build systems that are resilient by design. Students gain the architectural thinking skills needed for security engineering and solution design roles.
