Privilege management Monitoring and Detection
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 monitoring course teaches comprehensive detection and observability strategies for proactive security operations. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn to instrument systems for security telemetry, build detection pipelines, configure alerting, and maintain monitoring coverage as environments evolve. Students gain the visibility and detection capabilities needed to catch threats early.
