Blockchain Security Training

Blockchain Training Alliance is now offering an industry leading Blockchain Security course. This dynamic instructor led course covers all known aspects of Blockchain security that exist in the Blockchain environment today. This course provides a detailed overview of all Blockchain security issues, including threats, risk mitigation, node security integrity, confidentiality, best security practices, advanced Blockchain security and more. The in-depth lab sessions will provide the student with practical, real world tools for not only recognizing security threats, but mitigation and prevention as well.

Security for Blockchain Professionals is designed for:

Existing architects, software developers, system and network administrators who are responsible for implementing, identifying, and managing security on their Blockchain network. Also, those who are responsible for, and are required to mitigate, recognize, and resolve Blockchain security problems. Students will participate in security labs which will go in-depth into security best practices, known attack vectors, threat identification, response techniques, and much more.

Due to the in-depth focus on technical cyber-security methods, and the broad scope of this course, those with current cyber-security knowledge, Blockchain architecture, and/or experienced programmers will benefit the most from this course.

What You Will Learn

Those who attend the Security for Blockchain Professionals course and pass the exam certification will have a demonstrated knowledge of:

• Identifying and differentiating between security threats and attacks on a Blockchain network.
