MD-102: Endpoint Administrator

Organizations now operate across hybrid environments where endpoint control defines security posture. Regulatory pressure and zero trust models require strict identity governance, device compliance, and continuous monitoring. Endpoint administrators must integrate Microsoft Entra ID, Intune, and security tools to maintain control over distributed devices and users while supporting flexible work models.

During the training, participants configure real endpoint environments using Intune and Entra ID. They deploy Windows clients through Autopilot, define compliance and conditional access policies, and manage application lifecycles across devices. Case studies simulate enterprise environments where participants must design deployment strategies, enforce identity controls, and troubleshoot configuration issues. Exercises require participants to produce policies, configure devices, and validate security outcomes.

Many programs fail to address operational gaps such as inconsistent policy enforcement, unclear identity ownership, and weak evidence of compliance. This course focuses on these issues by requiring participants to document configurations, validate enforcement, and align identity and device policies across systems. Participants also address communication gaps between security, IT operations, and compliance teams through structured scenarios.

Participants leave able to deploy and manage endpoints at scale, enforce identity driven access control, and secure enterprise devices using Microsoft technologies. They produce deployment plans, configure policy frameworks, and defend their decisions based on measurable outcomes. The certification validates their ability to operate as Endpoint Administrators in modern enterprise environments.

“Had a great experience learning with Abilene Academy, it has been an extremely long time since I have attended an external formal training outside of the business organization I work in. I found this training to be truly beneficial for me to attend. the overall delivery of the course by Henri was superb, he kept us well engage despite having half of the room online and half face to face. The communication from the advisors from the initial enquiry regrading the course up until now has also been great! definitely recommending to my colleagues. Thank you!”

“Henri and Alexis conducted a focused, intensive four-day ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Implementer Course of immediate relevance to The Global Fund. Participants representing both IT and Risk are now better prepared to design and operationise a corporate ISMS.”
