Course Highlights
Network security protects computer networks from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. It is a complex and ever-evolving field, but it is essential for any organization that relies on computer networks to operate.
This course will provide a comprehensive overview of computer network security, from networking basics to the latest security threats and countermeasures. You will learn about the different types of attacks that can be launched against computer networks, as well as the various security technologies and strategies that can be used to protect them.
Whether a beginner or an experienced IT professional, this course will give you the knowledge and skills to secure your computer networks and protect your data.
As you progress, you’ll navigate the meticulously structured layers of the ISO/OSI Model, understand the universality of TCP/IP Protocols, and delve into the freedom of Wireless Networks. But with great freedom comes great responsibility. Hence, as the course advances, the spotlight shifts to the critical aspects of Network Security. From erecting formidable Firewalls to setting up deceptive Honeypots, from discerning breaches with Intrusion Detection to proactively fending off threats with Prevention Systems—the training equips you for it all.
By reaching the concluding sections, you’ll be adept at safeguarding even the most vulnerable facets of a network. You’ll be prepared for every eventuality with a module dedicated to Physical Security and Incident Handling. Whether you’re looking to bolster your professional trajectory or simply yearn to secure your personal space in the vastness of the internet, this comprehensive training is your blueprint.
