Zero Trust Security with SPIFFE and SPIRE (LFS482)

Zero Trust Security is a critical approach in modern cybersecurity, focusing on the belief that an organisation should not implicitly trust anything inside or outside its perimeters. Instead, it must verify everything trying to connect to its systems before granting access. This course provides an in-depth understanding of Zero Trust, along with the implementation and management of SPIFFE and SPIRE, essential tools for modern security practices. The course is tailored to address the unique challenges faced by highly regulated organisations in today’s dynamic and elastic environments.

Who Is It For

This course is ideal for IT professionals, security engineers, and system administrators responsible for implementing and managing security in their organisation’s infrastructure. It is especially beneficial for those working in highly regulated industries who need to remain updated with the latest security practices. Participants should have a basic understanding of networking concepts, security fundamentals, and familiarity with cloud and microservices architectures.

What You’ll Learn

Participants will learn about the principles and practices of Zero Trust Security, with a focus on its application in cloud and microservice environments. The course covers the installation, configuration, and management of SPIRE, demonstrating its role in securing application-to-application communication when combined with policy decision and enforcement points. It delves into topics such as identity verification, secure service-to-service communication, and authorization in microservice architectures. Additionally, the course addresses the operational aspects of implementing Zero Trust with SPIFFE and SPIRE, ensuring secure and resilient service delivery in a highly regulated space.

What It Prepares You For

This course equips you to design and implement a production-grade Zero Trust platform using SPIFFE and SPIRE.
