Zero-Trust Approach to EDR
RCCE students will learn Endpoint Detection and Response platform deployment, configuration, and operations including sensor deployment, detection rule management, automated response actions, and threat hunting with EDR telemetry. RCCE students will learn to deploy and manage EDR solutions across enterprise endpoints, configure detection rules for malware, lateral movement, and persistence techniques, implement automated response actions for containment, use EDR telemetry for proactive threat hunting, investigate alerts and trace attack chains through EDR data, tune EDR configurations to reduce false positives while maintaining detection coverage, and integrate EDR with SIEM and SOAR platforms. This zero-trust course applies modern security principles including least privilege, continuous verification, and explicit trust evaluation. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn to implement zero-trust architectures that assume breach and verify every access request regardless of network location. Students build practical zero-trust implementations that align with organizational security modernization goals.
