You will be surprised at how much you can accomplish with PowerShell in a short period of time \u2013 it\u2019s much more than just a scripting language, and you don\u2019t have to be a coding guru to get going. Learning PowerShell is also useful for another kind of security: job security. Employers are looking for IT people with PowerShell skills. You don\u2019t have to know any PowerShell to attend this course, we will learn it together during the labs.You can learn basic PowerShell syntax on YouTube for free, but SEC505 goes far beyond syntax.
