What is the Cross-Functional Endpoint Detection Strategy course about?
In high-growth environments, endpoint detection often lives in silos, security builds rules, IT manages devices, and engineering deploys systems with limited coordination. This leads to inconsistent coverage, delayed investigations, and reactive postures. As infrastructure scales and threats evolve, these gaps become cost multipliers.
