Web System Administration Foundations
Secure your web infrastructure: Build robust web administration skills
-
Configure web servers securely, implementing best practices for Apache, nginx, and IIS
-
Harden web applications by applying secure coding principles and mitigating common vulnerabilities
-
Master TLS and PKI by learning to implement robust encryption and authentication
One of three system administration Learning Paths
Protect web environments by developing fundamental security expertise
This Learning Path empowers learners to proactively secure web infrastructure. Learners will develop the skills to harden web servers (Apache, nginx, IIS), write secure web code, protect databases (MSSQL), and master security protocols (TLS/PKI). These skills directly reduce attack surfaces, enable proactive identification of vulnerabilities, and make it significantly more difficult for attackers to succeed.
