PluralSight Courses

Windows Server has constantly been evolving as a product. You can still fulfill your needs for on premises technology while also have the possibility to invest in hybrid infrastructure. This path teaches you all you need to know about Windows Server 2022 administration for both Hybrid and On-premises situations.

Digital Forensics is defined as the process of preservation, identification, extraction, and documentation of computer evidence which can be used by the court of law. It is a science of finding evidence from digital media like a computer, mobile phone, server, or network. A digital forensic analyst exploits digital evidence and investigates computer security incidents to derive useful information in support of system/network vulnerability mitigation.

Digital forensics is now back in focus with the rapid increase in cybercrimes. In this course, Digital Forensics: Getting Started, you’ll learn the skills required to conduct a digital forensics investigation from acquisition to the analysis phase. First, you’ll discover the process of hypothesis testing by applying forensic science techniques to digital forensics. Next, you’ll explore how to overcome the challenges of digital evidence by using evidence integrity methods such as write blockers and verifying hashes. Finally, you’ll learn how to examine the Windows Registry files and create a timeline of events for your case. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have a foundational understanding of the digital forensics domain that will help you conduct successful cybercrime investigations.

This path will cover the essential tasks of web application pen testing, walking through each phase of the methodology as if you are shadowing a live application pen test. The scenario will cover testing through an application, discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities found. In addition, there are many vulnerabilities that a web app pen tester should be able to identify and test for. Don’t miss the specialized courses covering a deep-dive into each of these types of vulnerabilities.

This series provides the foundational knowledge needed to ethically and effectively discover and exploit vulnerabilities in systems by assuming both the mindset and toolset of an attacker. Through learning how systems are attacked you will gain an understanding of how best to protect systems and improve your organization’s security

DevOps is taking the world by storm, but the often overlooked part is that keeping applications secure is increasingly important. So how do you keep your entire development chain secure and within compliance? This path answers that question by showing you the fundamentals of DevSecOps and keeping your CI/CD pipelines safe while incorporating security best practices into your DevOps lifecycle.

In this course, you will learn to reverse engineer. That will allow you to protect intellectual property, find vulnerabilities, and pull apart malware. Join me in making the world a little safer. In the prior courses we learned there are 4 main techniques to secure code: design review, static analysis, manual audit, and dynamic (fuzz) testing. But, once the code is fielded, hackers will begin researching exploits against it. In this course, learn how and why compiled binaries are examined and scoured for weaknesses, and why reversing is also a required malware analysis skill and is sometimes needed for low-level developers working with undocumented APIs. After watching this course you’ll be familiar all of the above and with the popular IDA pro tool and how to use it. Download the IDA pro demo to complete the labs.

A Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) Admin manages a Splunk Enterprise Security environment, including ES event processing and normalization, deployment requirements, technology add-ons, settings, risk analysis settings, threat intelligence and protocol intelligence configuration, and customization’s. This skill demonstrates an individual’s ability to install, configure, and manage a Splunk Enterprise Security deployment.

Threat Modeling aims to improve security through the practice of identifying threats, attacks vulnerabilities for the purpose of defining countermeasures to prevent or mitigate loss, damage or destruction of an application, system or data.

PHP is one of the most widely-used web programming languages in the world. In this course, you’ll learn to write more secure PHP code. Web applications are under attack every day. PHP, being one of the most widely-used programming languages on the web, is one of the main targets. Some oddities, especially those of older versions, facilitate some of the attacks. This course, PHP Web Application Security, helps developers to understand security risks, how vulnerabilities can be exploited, and how to avoid those attacks. First you’ll learn about how to defend against cross-site scripting, including new approaches such as content security policy. Next, you’ll learn about how cross-site request forgery works, why it works so well, and how you can implement protection using PHP. Finally, the course will wrap up by teaching you how to protect against SQL injection attacks, covering not only MySQL, but also other relevant databases PHP supports. By the end of this course, you’ll have the knowledge to anticipate and defend against the major threats against web applications today.

This skill will teach you a basic understanding and applicability of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). The intention of this skill is to help you understand the foundational concepts of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), when and how to employ it, as well as understanding the resource implications and related decisions that need to be made. We also cover determining the deployment scenarios and use cases for ZTA, as well as migrating to and maturing associated programs.

In today’s threat landscape, sophisticated adversaries have routinely demonstrated the ability to compromise enterprise networks and remain hidden for extended periods of time. To achieve this, malware authors employ a wide variety of obfuscation and anti-analysis techniques at each phase of an attack. Developing the skills necessary as a malware analyst to properly detect, triage and reverse engineer advanced attacker intrusion tactics and techniques requires experience and a diverse set of tools and skills. In this path you will develop the skills and knowledge necessary to analyze malicious office documents, dig deep into native and interpreted code through disassembly and decompilation, identify and defeat prevalent obfuscation techniques. The courses in this path with take you from malware analysis basics to advanced topics so that you can generate valuable threat intelligence to aid in your efforts to defend your organization, respond more effectively to an incident or gain deeper understanding of the latest malware threats. This skills path may assist in attaining the knowledge and skills outlined in the NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework in the following areas: K0259 & K0479 Knowledge of malware analysis concepts and methodologies. S0131 Skill in analyzing malware.
