    Brief

    This is a specialized training course on TLS (Transport Layer Security) and PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) delivered online by SSCL. The course, based on 'Best TLS Training', is designed by the author of Bulletproof SSL and TLS and provides practical instruction on deploying secure servers and encrypted web applications. Participants will gain both theoretical and practical knowledge of SSL/TLS protocols and Internet PKI standards. Key learning outcomes include understanding encryption threats and attacks, identifying risks specific to DWP systems, deploying servers with strong private keys and valid certificates, configuring TLS with strong encryption and forward secrecy, defending against web application attacks using technologies like HSTS, CSP, and HPKP, analyzing certificate lifecycle management, evaluating PKI weaknesses, and implementing public key pinning. The course combines expert instruction with interactive practical exercises, allowing learners to apply concepts in real-world scenarios. This supplier has a proven track record delivering this workshop with excellent feedback and results aligned with Digital's strategic objectives. Continued engagement with the same supplier ensures consistent learning outcomes across Practice members.
