Course Details

The Blockchain Security Training course is a 3-day course that is designed to teach students all the known aspects of Blockchain security existing in the Blockchain environment today. Students will gain a detailed overview of Blockchain security issues, including threats, risk mitigation, node security integrity, confidentiality, best security practices, and advanced Blockchain security practices. In-depth labs will provide students with practical, real world tools for not only recognizing security threats, but mitigation and prevention. The course includes best practices, known attack vectors, threat identification, response techniques, and much more.

Topics covered in the course include:

Identify and differentiate between security threats and attacks on a Blockchain network

  • Blockchain security methods, best practices, risk mitigation, and more
  • All known (to date) cyber-attack vectors on the Blockchain
  • How to perform a Blockchain network security risk analysis
  • A complete understanding of Blockchain's inherent security features and risks
  • An excellent knowledge of best security practices for Blockchain System/Network Administrators
  • Appropriate Blockchain data safeguarding techniques

?

Target Student:

Architects, Developers, System and Network Administrators who are responsible for implementing, identifying, and managing security a Blockchain network.?

Prerequisites:

This course is highly technical. To prepare for the class students should:

  • Provide your own computer (labs are hosted in a virtual environment)
  • Have a comprehensive understanding of Hyperledger, Ethereum, or Blockchain Architecture
