Course Description

The Certificate of Competence in Zero Trust (CCZT) training provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of the Zero Trust security model, a modern cybersecurity framework based on the principle of “never trust, always verify.”

This course explores how Zero Trust mitigates today’s cyber risks by enforcing continuous authentication, least-privilege access, identity-centric security, and micro-segmentation across users, devices, applications, and data. Participants will gain both strategic and practical insights into designing, implementing, and governing Zero Trust architectures aligned with industry standards and real-world enterprise environments.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the core principles and architecture of Zero Trust.
  • Explain the differences between perimeter-based security and Zero Trust models.
  • Identify key Zero Trust components: identity, devices, network, applications, and data.
  • Apply Zero Trust design concepts to real organizational environments.
  • Align Zero Trust strategies with risk management, compliance, and business objectives.
  • Support Zero Trust adoption through governance, policies, and operational controls.

Who Should Attend?

This course is designed for IT and cybersecurity professionals, architects, managers, and risk leaders involved in designing, implementing, or governing modern security architectures.

End of the Course

Assessment Methodology

All courses conducted by EdTech will begin with a Pre-evaluation and end with a Post-evaluation. The instructor will evaluate the knowledge and skills of the participants according to the feedback given by participants. This will help to recognize the benefits and the level of knowledge gained by participants through the course.

Training Methodology

Facilitated by a highly qualified specialist, who has extensive knowledge and experience; this program will be conducted using extensively interactive methods, encouraging participants to share their own experiences and apply the program material to real-life work situations in order to stimulate group discussions and improve the efficiency of the subject coverage.

Percentages of the total course hour classification are:

  • ​40% Theoretical lectures, Concepts and approach
  • 20% Motivation to develop individual skill and Techniques
