CSSLP 2024: Digital Certificates, Firewalls, Hypervisors, & Containers

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Critical aspects of the internet are powered by a few keystone protocols and technologies including digital certificates, firewalls, virtual machine hypervisors, and containers. In this course, you will learn about the X.509 standard for digital certificates, which are used to secure communications across various applications such as web browsers, email, VPNs, single sign-on (SSO), and code signing. Explore flow control techniques and the role of proxy servers in managing data flow and load balancing, as well as the critical function of firewalls in network security. Discover data loss prevention (DLP) strategies and the role of queuing in flow control. Next, learn about Infrastructure as Code (IaC), virtualization, virtual machines (VMs), bare metal servers, and Type 1 (bare metal) and Type 2 (hosted) hypervisors. Finally, you'll be introduced to containers, container security considerations, and trusted computing techniques like secure and measured boot, remote attestation, sealed storage, and memory curtaining. This course prepares learners for the Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) exam.
