With growing usage of desktop applications in various segments like aviation, healthcare, public infrastructure, logistics, finance, education, hospitality and many more in the form of kiosk/un-attended systems in public, it opens scope of information and network security. Also with change in way of work getting flexible from home due to Covid-19, this increases the responsibilities of enterprises to have their systems run safely using multiple endpoint protection tools like DLP/EDR/KIOSK/PAM etc. In addition, when KIOSK apps are integrated with smart AI solutions, it becomes pivotal in compromising the systems. This training course would target such areas where systems are secured via hardening using Windows/3rd party tools and how we can evade hardening to gain unrestricted system access. After having system access trying to elevate privilege within the Windows system. Learning these techniques would help in pentest, designing tools securely which can be used in commercial products or enterprise systems.
