In this course students will gain the knowledge and skills needed to implement security controls, maintain the security posture, and identify and remediate vulnerabilities by using a variety of security tools. The course covers scripting and automation, virtualization, and cloud N-tier architecture.

"Arrow Flex" is the blended learning solution developed by Arrow.

It is the solution for IT-/ Cloud- experienced technicians.

"Arrow Flex Expert" separates the theoretical content from the practical exercises of the official Microsoft course. Within two days of instructor led training via Virtual Classroom (VCL), you will learn the theory and concepts of the curriculum.
