This 14-video course explores how malware infections occur, and how to mitigate these threats. Learners prepare for the Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) certification exam by examining how to compare current activity to a baseline. You will examine spyware, which tracks your computing usage with or without your consent, and adware, to direct information to the user. Next, explore rootkits, which stem from replacing UNIX Operating System files in the past with malicious code, and hide their presence. You will examine types of rootkits, including the form of files replaced on the host, running processes in memory, web browser plug-ins, on a Windows platform, or a Windows registry entry. You will examine backdoors which create a hidden entry point for malicious users, and is part of a rootkit. You will explore worms, viruses, and social engineering security threats. This course demonstrates how to configure common Windows Defender settings, and how to use the SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager), and malware policies by using white lists, and locking down USB removable media.
