CR4210 - Network Secuirty II

The computer network has increasingly become more and more complex and so has the threats to its security. This course is focused on helping the network defenders understand how to effectively deal with issues that challenge the security of a network by presenting a defensive stand to network security. Continuing with the progression of topics covered in Network Security I, subject matter will enhance the skills of a network defender. These abilities include: how to analyze the internal and external network security threats, how to proactively minimize threats by developing necessary security policies, designing appropriate defense strategies, the implementation of effective security mechanisms, and responding to security incidents in a timely manner. The emphasis is on the understanding of various network security elements, updating the already deployed security mechanisms, spotting any known or possible vulnerabilities, and hardening security implementations using various tools. This includes a thorough understanding of the defense mechanisms that are most widely used such as firewalls, IDS, digital signatures, the secure configuration of various every-day applications, and a comprehensive set of policies that are to be enforced in the network to secure it from network breaches.
