Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at the moment one of the most exciting and innovative developments. You are using AI daily, maybe without you knowing about it. AI and Machine Learning have the potential to improve our lives: do the dull and dangerous work for us, but it is also an improvement for healthcare (think of an App like SkinVision). AI is an disruptive innovation that can help in decision making, predicting the market or the behaviour of your customer. AI is already vital for Cybersecurity (anomaly detection).

However, AI can be a threat for privacy and employment, also think of lethal autonomous weapon systems like drones.

In this EXIN AI Essentials training you will learn how you to use AI and Machine Learning safely and responsibly. Are you prepared for the revolution in the relationship between human and machine? Why is now the time to start with AI and Machine Learning?

You will learn the basic techniques of Deep Learning (ANN, Artifical Neural Networks), chatbots (NLP, Natural Language processing) and techniques how to learn from data, discover patterns and make predictions using data (classification and regression). We will explain the basic principles of data (science). You will learn about the most popular (autoML) tools and algorithmes. How do you setup an AI project, what are the challenges, how can you mitigate the risks?

As more data moves to the cloud, new tools and methods are needed to control your data and comply to security regulations. This eLearning CASB, SD-WAN and SASE is based on the latest security trends as defined by Gartner, Forrester and the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA).

You can find a detailed agenda at the end of this page or you can watch the short agenda on YouTube. This webinar is also part of our Masterclass Digital Transformation and is available through our partner Global Knowledge.

This eLearning module consists of a series of movies and optional questions, hosted on our state of the art Learning Management System (LMS). You can study anywhere, anytime : we also offer an App for your mobile phone and tablet. You will receive a soft copy of the material (including links).

Are you in control of your business data in the Cloud (think of Dropbox, social media, Gmail or Office365)? Security in the Cloud is a shared responsibility which leads to complexity and confusion.

A CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) is essential to mitigate and control the risks involved in the (unwanted) usage of the Cloud (Shadow IT for example)

“Email is the #1 attack vector. Cloud Account Takeover is the #1 attack target. A CASB is the best way to protect against these threats – Cloud Security Alliance (CSA).

Threats, hacks and zero days are unfortunately the order of the day. Even the most professional IT organizations are hit by malware, think of the recent Solarwinds hack. Are your data and applications safe in the hybrid Cloud?

In this CASB, SD-WAN and SASE Training you get an overview of the latest security and networking technologies and you will learn: What is it? Why do I need it? How can I implement it? What are the major vendors?

Digital business transformation requires anywhere, anytime access to applications and services — many of which are now located in the cloud (Source: Gartner, August 2019, The Future of Network Security Is in the Cloud)

The term SASE (Secure Access Server Edge) was introduced in 2019 by Gartner. SASE is a new category of cloud-native networking and security solutions. The used technologies are not new as such, but the convergence of these solutions in one product offering a single pane of glass and single point of control is.

Because SASE (but also CASB) is a combination of existing security and networking tools, in this training you will gain insight in the latest tools such as:

• Secur Web Gateway (SWG)
• Software defined wide area network (SD-WAN)
• Software-defined perimeter (SDP) or  Zero Trust network access (ZTNA)
• Firewall as a service (FWaaS)
• Next-generation firewall (NGFW)
• Remote Browser Isolation (RBI)
• Next-generation antimalware (NGAM)
• Intrusion prevention system (IPS)

Course Agenda

Session 1: Hardware, Virtualization, the Cloud, Scrum and DevOps

In this first session basic IT terminology and principles are explained. What is IT, what is a computer or a server?  What is the difference between software and middleware? What is Open Source en what are the popular Open Source solutions?

Almost all hardware is virtualized: hardware is assigned/used multiple times. You will learn about the impact of Virtualization on, for example, your IT costs and how it enabled a new IT business model: the Cloud. What are the advantages of Cloud computing? When NOT to choose for the Cloud?

Agile/Scrum is a popular way of work in IT and replaces waterfall methods like Prince 2. The basic principles of Agile and Scrum are explained. What are the different roles (Product Owner etc.) and what is their responsibility? What is a backlog? What are the disadvantages of Scrum/Agile? What are the characteristics of DevOps? The basics of Continuous Delivery and Continuous Integration are explained.

Session 2: Internet, Application development and integration. 

The former CEO of Sun Microsystems said: “Privacy, privacy, there is no privacy, get over it!”. In this session the basics of the internet are explained (IP addresses and tracking cookies for example).

The most popular applications being built today are web-based: accessible through a browser. By explaining in detail how a web application works you will learn the basics of networking as well as the infrastructure needed to offer a secure and resilient (high available) web application.

The most popular programming languages are discussed, with special attention to Java©. The latest trends (for example Client-side development and Javascript) are discussed.

The implementation of new software in an existing environment (communication and data exchange with existing software) is critical for a successful implementation and determines to a large extend the IT costs involved (now and in the future). Is the software using standard communication (HTTP, messaging or file transfer)?

We will discuss the most important design decisions in software development. The advantages of using standards like WebServices (REST API’s, SOAP and microservices) and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) are explained.

Session 3: Resilience, High Availability, databases, operational management and encryption-SSL/TLS

How can I create a resilient IT infrastructure? How can I prevent downtime and solve problems quickly? What is High Availability? Do I need Disaster Recovery (second data center) and how does that work? How do I prevent data loss? Why do I need a database like Oracle© or SQL Server©? Off course the answers to these questions have a high impact on your IT costs.

An important part of High Availability is operational management: how is monitoring implemented? How do you organize service management (incident and change mangement)?

As encryption (SSL/TLS) is vital for IT security it is discussed extensively in this session.

Session 4: IT security essentials, the IoT, Big Data and Bitcoin (blockchain)

Your IT security measures are for an important part determined by your data. What is the importance of the data for your business? The characteristics of the data (privacy sensitive?) determine what needs to be done to secure (backup) and protect your data: only the right people can read/change the data. Software is merely a tool to get to the data…

Viruses and threats are almost part of everyday life. The biggest threats are discussed: virusses, DDOS attacks, Man in the Middle attacks, Zero Day exploits, APT (Advanced Persistent Threat), OWASP top ten etc.

How do you determine which security measures are sufficient? Which tools do I have to use?

The latest trends in IT are discussed. What is the “Internet of Things” and what are the possibilities for your business? What is “Big Data” and why is it important for AI and Machine Learning?

What is Bitcoin? How secure is Bitcoin and how does the Block Chain enable you to transfer money safely without using a bank? How can you secure your Bitcoin wallet?

In this eLearning Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), CARTA and SDP the concepts of Zero Trust and Carta are explained and the implementation with a Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) and Micro-segmentation clarified.

This is an eLearning module that consists of a series of movies and a series of optional questions, hosted on our state of the art Learning Management System (LMS). You can study anywhere, anytime : we also offer an App for your mobile phone and tablet. You will receive a soft copy of the material (including links). You can find a detailed agenda at the end of this page or you can watch the short agenda on YouTube.

This eLearning module is als offered as a webinar, live connected to the instructor with Zoom or Teams.

The term Zero Trust model was coined by Forrester in 2009. As the name says, everywhere and anytime the highest form of security (authentication, authorization, encryption etc.) must be enforced.

The current network model (perimeter model with a DMZ) does not offer sufficient protection against threats like APT’s (Advanced Persistent Threats) or DDOS attacks. Don’t you think it is strange that the most popular transport protocol is based on: connect first, then authenticate? The IP-address was never meant for authentication, it is very convenient for making a connection. With Zero trust the network is completely dark: unauthenticated you cannot see anything…

Our current network design is based on an assumption that inside the datacenter traffic and applications are trusted. Traffic within a networkzone/VLAN is not filtered. First and second generation (static) firewalls cannot offer the protection we need. Zero Trust offers defence against the “trusted insider” and malware that has infiltrated our network (think of the Solarwinds hack). 80% of security breaches now originate internal to the network…

Continuous adaptive Risk and Trust accessment (CARTA) dictates continuous authentication. Even more important: continous monitoring and assessment of users, devices and applications is pivotal for detecting a threat early. The average “Mean Time To Detect” in the US is 90 days!

You can find the concepts of Zero Trust and CARTA in solutions like Software Defined Perimeter, Micro-segmentation but also CASB en SASE. In this Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), CARTA and SDP training you will learn the architecture of SDP and Micro-segmentation, how it works and how to implement it.

Some companies are reluctant to make the move to the Cloud. The benefits and the maturity of the CSPs (Cloud Service Providers) are increasing while the difficulties and dangers of maintaining your own IT are getting bigger. The move to the Cloud is not without risk, security in the Cloud is a shared responsibility. This Hybrid Cloud, Distributed Cloud and Edge Computing training will help you to migrate to the Cloud safely and explains the latest trends in Cloud Computing.

This training is meant for Product Owners, (business) managers and IT engineers.

You can find a detailed agenda at the end of this page. This webinar is also part of our Masterclass Digital Transformation. This training is also offered by our international partner Global Knowledge, click here.

In comparison to a few years ago compliance to rules and regulations by the CSPs (like PCI/DSS or GDPR) has improved considerably. Some CSPs even encrypt all data in transport and rest within the Cloud. However, the move to the cloud remains a matter of confidence.

But threats like fishing mails, DDOS attacks and advanced threats like the Solarwinds hack are the rule rather than the exception. It makes you wonder if you are not safer in the Cloud. When the right conditions are in place and you use the appropriate tools (like CASB and SASE) security can be more effective in the Cloud than in your own datacenter.

Although many companies believe the move to the cloud is a cost deduction, you have to keep a tight control. Elasticity is one of the advantages of the Cloud but it can double your costs within a couple of days easily. It is not in the interest of your CSP to keep your costs as low as possible. In this training we will show you the tools to control your costs.

“Distributed cloud is the future of cloud” – Gartner Top Strategic Technology Trends for 2021

It is now possible to reserve your own hardware in the public Cloud (if you pay of course!).  That’s where the Distributed Cloud comes in. Another thing: location is important, especially with the rise of IoT, edge AI (Artificial Intelligence) and everybody working from home. A trend in security is to move the check of an identity and it’s access rights (of a user or device) to the edge. All these factors increase the importance of performance at the edge to ensure user satisfaction. Latency (delay on the network) can be an issue when you move to the public Cloud.

Edge Computing has been a trend for Telcos but will play an important role in Cloud Computing. It is important your CSP offers Points of Presence (PoP) as close as possible to the end-user. At first, this PoP might be exclusive for one customer/consumer. It means having your own hardware close to the user AND maintenance and service offerings by your CSP (depending on your CSP).
