CDP Admin: Building Secure Clusters Course Overview:

This intensive four-day course caters to Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) administrators, equipping them with the skills to design solutions that align with the most stringent technical security audit standards. Rooted in a structured project plan, the curriculum encompasses various stages. Beginning with the implementation of Perimeter Security via host level security and Kerberos installation, the course progresses to securing data through the adoption of Transport Layer Security via Auto-TLS and data encryption using Key Management System and Key Trustee Server (KMS/KTS). Subsequently, it navigates the control of user and data access using Ranger and Atlas in the third stage, followed by teaching visibility strategies for comprehensive auditing of system, user, and data usage. The final phase involves scrutinizing application vulnerabilities and introducing risk management practices within a fully fortified Cloudera Data Platform. With a hands-on approach, the course balances 70% lab exercises with 30% lectures, fostering practical expertise.
