What is the Risk-Managed Endpoint Detection Strategy course about?

Traditional endpoint detection setups often create friction between security, IT, and audit, generating noise, false positives, and unverifiable claims. Without a risk-managed approach, audit teams struggle to assert confidence in controls or demonstrate compliance efficiently. The gap isn't technical capability, it's strategy alignment.
