Course Description
This course addresses concepts and industry standards of computer networking, including the OSI Reference Model, TCP/IP and network routing concepts, as well as inherent risks in their use. Also addressed are digital cryptography principles and practices; major email security standards; and methods by which networks may be attacked. Students use a networking software tool to build a secure network, as well as prepare to assist in incident response and management activities in the event of a network breach.
Learning Objectives
- Students learn to understand security fundamentals and threat management, secure endpoint devices and software applications, utilize and manage cryptography to protect enterprise data, build a secure network through security appliances and technologies, examine the security of cloud computing and virtualization technologies, explore wireless network security, implement authentication security solutions, plan for incident preparation, response, and investigation, achieve resilience through redundancy and security policies, describe strategies for risk management and data privacy, and select security controls to mitigate risks in an enterprise's computing environment.
