Advanced Zabbix security administration
This one-day advanced Zabbix security administration training course is designed for engineers who are already working with Zabbix and want to strengthen the security of their monitoring infrastructure through best practices and advanced configuration techniques.
This training focuses specifically on the security aspects of administering a Zabbix environment and It covers secure communication between Zabbix components, hardening of the frontend and server, fine-grained user role configuration, permission-based access control, encryption options for agents and proxies, and strategies for protecting sensitive data. The course is intended to help participants build a robust and secure monitoring solution suitable for enterprise and regulated environments and even experienced users will benefit from deeper insights into Zabbix’s security mechanisms and potential risks.
The course includes both theory and hands-on practice in a dedicated virtual lab environment provided by our team. You’ll perform tasks such as configuring PSK and certificate-based encryption, setting up secure user roles and access permissions, detecting misconfigurations, and applying hardening techniques. The exercises are based on real-world security scenarios and can be adapted to different infrastructure models. Lab access is granted during the course and remains available for an additional 24 hours, giving you time to reinforce your learning.
Participants will receive detailed course materials, including slides, lab guides, and configuration examples, which can be used as a practical reference in production environments.
Upon completion of the Advanced Zabbix Security Administration training, participants will be equipped to design, configure, and maintain a secure Zabbix environment. This course is especially valuable for Zabbix administrators operating in industries where data protection, access control, and secure operations are critical requirements.

Outcomes
Organizational impact
Any new solution deployed in the IT infrastructure of an organization can serve as a potential attack vector for intruders with malicious intent. Monitoring solutions in particular can collect large amounts of sensitive data and should be secured to the highest standard. By attending this course, your system administrators will learn how to secure various Zabbix components in a way that complies with your corporate security policies.
Individual impact
Throughout the course, attendees will learn how to secure each Zabbix component in ways like certificate and pre-shared key encryption. In addition, the course teaches various potential attack vectors related to monitoring and how to secure them to prevent security breaches.
