Hands-on consolidation

Build and troubleshoot in a safe lab

Create a safe security baseline for a small organization: asset inventory, identity controls, segmentation, hardening, vulnerability prioritization, logging, backup, incident playbook, risk register, and a tabletop response using synthetic evidence.
