Develop a risk profile based on business impact analysis Establish the relationship between awareness and training in the continual improvement of cybersecurity posture. Develop and treat training & awareness as a critical aspect of deterrence Use knowledge about the threat landscape as a predicate to the adoption and adaptation of your cybersecurity posture. The Controls This chapter provides a sample set of controls based on an informative reference. Understand the purpose goals & objectives for each control. Characterize & explain the informative reference controls Discover how to apply the controls in an organizational context. Adopt & Adapt Adopt is a decision about governance; adapt is the set of management decisions that result from the decision to adopt. Distinguish Adopt, Adapt, Management & Governance. Develop an approach to adoption & adaptation. Distinguish & demonstrate the impact of organizational culture on developing cybersecurity as a capability. Develop an assessment approach to define current state. Adaptive Way of Working Threat actors are agile and highly adaptive. The cybersecurity Practitioner must develop the same capabilities Break down what constitutes an adaptive approach. Characterize & apply the need for crossfunctional teams. Recognize and prioritize the first steps (get started). Demonstrate & establish cybersecurity phases. Break down the impact of the flows. Rapid Adoption & Rapid Adaptation FastTrack FastTrack? is an approach to allow organizations to learn to adapt to an evolving threat landscape rapidly. Approach: Establish what it takes to adopt CS. Determine how that impacts management adaptation of CS. Determine how that impacts the capability to assess. CS Capability: Determine the gap between existing & needed capabilities. Establish what must be developed. Develop appropriate risk management profile. Discover how cybersecurity impacts people, practice & technology impacts organization. Differentiate CIS Implementation groups. Determine appropriate implementation group & approach. Develop appropriate phase approaches. CIIS Practice Cybersecurity is an ongoing game of cat and mouse. Organizations must learn how to inculcate cybersecurity improvement into their DNA.

Duration 5 Days 30 CPD hours This course is intended for System administrators System engineers Overview By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives: Install and configure ESXi hosts Deploy and configure vCenter Use the vSphere Client to create the vCenter inventory and assign roles to vCenter users Configure vCenter High Availability Create and configure virtual networks using vSphere standard switches and distributed switches Create and configure datastores using storage technologies supported by vSphere Use the vSphere Client to create virtual machines, templates, clones, and snapshots Configure and manage a VMware Tools Repository Create content libraries for managing templates and deploying virtual machines Manage virtual machine resource use Migrate virtual machines with vSphere vMotion and vSphere Storage vMotion Create and configure a vSphere cluster that is enabled with vSphere High Availability and vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler Manage the life cycle of vSphere to keep vCenter, ESXi hosts, and virtual machines up to date Configure and manage vSphere networking and storage for a large and sophisticated enterprise Use host profiles to manage VMware ESXi host compliance Monitor the vCenter, ESXi, and VMs performance in the vSphere client This five-day, extended hour course takes you from introductory to advanced VMware vSphere© 8 management skills. Building on the installation and configuration content from our best-selling course, you will also develop advanced skills needed to manage and maintain a highly available and scalable virtual infrastructure. Through a mix of lecture and hands-on labs, you will install, configure, and manage vSphere 7. You will explore the features that build a foundation for a truly scalable infrastructure and discuss when and where these features have the greatest effect. This course prepares you to administer a vSphere infrastructure for an organization of any size using vSphere 8, which includes VMware ESXi? 8 and VMware vCenter Server© 8.
