Operating systems integration with complex infrastructures

Module overview:

Students will learn how to implement principles such as:
• Deploying necessary packages and services on Microsoft-based operating systems
• Managing necessary services to secure access to web-based content on Windows and open source operating system

This module is important to support student's understanding and ability to implement necessary roles and features to host a service, like secure web server. This includes working with services like Certificate Authority, to make sure that certificates that are used for securing web traffic are created in accordance to best practices.

After successfully passing this module students will be able to implement and maintain Microsoft or open source-based secure web infrastructure. This is essential for many other services that can be provided via secure web infrastructure - web shops, web hosting, remote access technologies etc. This will offer a chance for students to learn more about security as one of the key IT infrastructure principles.
