What to Expect from the 4 Weeks
Our Bootcamp meets once a week for a 1-hour live session over Zoom. After each session, you’ll receive clear homework and checklists to keep you moving forward.
-
Key Topics: Creating and maintaining an inventory of all hardware and software, identifying outdated or unused assets.
Why It Matters: You can’t protect what you don’t know you have. A clear, up-to-date inventory is the foundation for plugging security gaps and preventing unauthorized access.
-
Key Topics: Implementing organization-wide multi-factor authentication (MFA) and removing old, inactive user accounts.
Why It Matters: MFA significantly reduces the risk of compromised credentials. Regularly pruning inactive accounts shuts down easy backdoors attackers often exploit.
-
Key Topics: Securing cloud productivity suites like M365 or Google Workspace as well as other critical services.
Why It Matters: These platforms are prime targets for cyber attacks. Proper configurations help close dangerous loopholes, ensuring your everyday tools aren’t easy entry points.
-
Key Topics: Building communication norms for security awareness, selecting or creating ongoing security training, and developing a basic incident response plan.
Why It Matters: A strong security culture empowers everyone to act as a first line of defense. Being prepared with an incident plan dramatically reduces damage and downtime when something goes wrong.

After the final session, we invite you to schedule a one-hour session with our expert ethical hackers and security experts to:
