Hi everyone, my name is Liam Cleary, and welcome to my course, SharePoint Security End-to-End. I am an Associate Director and Architect at Protiviti, as well as a 10 year Microsoft MVP.
SharePoint is now one the most used Collaboration and sharing platforms in the world. However, many implementations have not been designed or built with security in mind. In fact security is often the last thing that is thought of and then must be retrofitted to SharePoint often not in the best way.
In this course, we are going to walk through setting up a secure SharePoint environment, from securing the Windows Servers, to controlling applications that run, to the accounts needed with their permissions and finally protecting at the edge.
Some of the major topics that we will cover include:
- How to secure Windows Server
- Group and local security policy creation and assignment
- Creating and assigning App Locker policies
- Authentication and authorization for SharePoint
- Federated Authentication using Active Directory Federated Services
- Protecting at the edge
I hope you’ll join me on this journey to learn How to build a Secure SharePoint environment with the SharePoint security End-to-End course, at Pluralsight.
