Capstone Lab
Checking access...
Objective
Apply skills from all 12 modules in an integrated lab: scan for vulnerabilities, deploy endpoint protection, configure MFA, and build a detection dashboard.
Lab Exercises
Exercise 1: Vulnerability Scan
Run an authenticated vulnerability scan against a test system. Use Nessus, OpenVAS, or a cloud-based scanner.
Exercise 2: EDR Deployment
Deploy an EDR agent (Wazuh or Defender for Endpoint) on a test VM and verify telemetry is flowing.
Exercise 3: MFA Policy
Configure a Conditional Access policy in Azure AD requiring MFA for all admin accounts.
Exercise 4: SIEM Dashboard
Build a security dashboard in your SIEM showing:
- Failed logon attempts over time
- Top source IPs for authentication failures
- MFA failure rate
- EDR alert count by severity
Deliverables
- Vulnerability scan report with at least 10 findings
- Screenshot of EDR dashboard showing active agent
- Screenshot of MFA policy configuration
- Screenshot of SIEM dashboard with security metrics
- One-page executive summary of findings and recommendations
