Resilient architecture Hardening Clinic
RCCE students will learn business continuity planning, disaster recovery, ransomware preparedness, high availability architectures, and recovery testing. RCCE students will learn to design and implement resilient systems that maintain operations during disruptions, develop and validate recovery procedures, conduct realistic recovery exercises, and build organizational resilience that withstands ransomware, natural disasters, and infrastructure failures. This hands-on hardening course focuses on reducing attack surface through practical configuration changes and security guardrails. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to apply hardening baselines, validate configurations, and measure the security improvement achieved. Students walk away with actionable hardening checklists and the skills to maintain hardened configurations as environments evolve.
