What is the Cross-Functional Endpoint Detection Strategy course about?

As organizations expand remote operations, endpoint detection often remains fragmented across teams. Security, IT, and operations use different signals, processes, and tools, leading to delayed response, duplicated effort, and unclear ownership. Without a unified strategy, even mature programs struggle to scale detection reliably across regions, time zones, and functions.
