Calder & Rowe's endpoint defense stack for a fleet of 18,400 devices, built firmware-up in eight layers — root of trust, OS baseline, device trust, management plane, prevention, detect and respond, data protection, and lifecycle and fleet ops; EDR coverage evened out across Windows at 98%, macOS from 61% to 97% and Linux from 4% to 96%; and the gaps closed layer by layer — unowned TPMs taken into ownership, baseline conformance raised from 52% to 98%, 15% unencrypted laptops encrypted with escrowed keys, and 800 end-of-life devices tracked and migrated or isolated.

Enterprise Endpoint Security Architecture — The Endpoint Defense Stack

A senior-level architecture course that designs the target-state endpoint security architecture for a global fleet of tens of thousands of Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile devices - the tooling strategy, device trust model, and fleet operating model, not single-host hardening. Work the endpoint defense stack - eight layers built firmware-up: Hardware Root of Trust, OS Baseline, Identity & Device Trust, Management Plane, Prevention Controls, Detection & Response, Data Protection, and Lifecycle & Fleet Ops - anchoring hardware trust, holding one cross-platform baseline, gating access on device compliance, consolidating the management plane, layering prevention, unifying detection across every OS, protecting data at scale, and running the fleet as a measured lifecycle. Four hands-on activities in every lesson.

What you'll learn

Architect a hardware-rooted trust foundation and a single enforced cross-platform OS baseline across an entire fleet.
Design device-trust-gated access with certificates, conditional access, and explicit BYOD versus corporate trust tiers.
Consolidate and tier the management plane, and layer prevention, detection, and response uniformly across every OS.
Architect data protection and a fleet lifecycle operating model with reportable, standing fleet health metrics.
