Privilege management Operations Playbook
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 operations-focused course delivers production-ready playbooks, checklists, and standard operating procedures. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to build repeatable day-to-day operational workflows that ensure consistency and quality. Students receive templates and frameworks they can customize and deploy immediately in their security operations, reducing time to operational effectiveness.
