In this practical workshop, we will show you how to set up a secure public key infrastructure with Windows Server. In the workshop, you will learn all the steps from setting up the CA to the expiry or revocation of the certificates and thus consider the entire lifetime of the infrastructure. Learn how to ensure security in your network by protecting WLAN and VPN access points, using BitLocker, S/MIME and IPSec and configuring certification authorities for mail and web servers.

In the practical phases of the workshop, you will have the opportunity to implement "your" scenarios yourself or to test planned scenarios under supervision.
