The Network Defense and Countermeasures training course is designed to focus on understanding the architecture for network defense. You will work with layered network defense structures and implement firewalls on various platforms. You will also gain a working knowledge of Virtual Private Networks and Intrusion Detection Systems, perform packet and signature analyses, identify different methods of risk analysis, and create a security policy.
By attending Network Defense and Countermeasures workshop, delegates will learn to:
- Identify the basic components of a layered structure for network defense architecture, and describe access control objectives and auditing concepts
- Identify key concepts and technologies used in the design of firewall systems, as well as methods of implementing firewalls in different scenarios
- Implement and configure firewalls for three different operating systems and compare their functionality while also identifying the differences between the technologies
- Describe Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and related security issues, and take steps to implement a VPN solution built into Windows
- Describe the key concepts of Intrusion Detection Systems, including distinguishing between host-based and network-based Intrusion Detection Systems
- Implement and configure a network-based and a host-based IDS
- Describe core concepts of TCP/IP packet and signature analysis with the goal of intrusion detection, and examine the goals of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure (CVE) project
- Identify the concepts and issues related to risk analysis, and analyze different methods of risk analysis, different standards, and different techniques to minimize risk
- Implement a security policy for an organization by examining different methods of policy creation and implementation, and creating a policy document
- Network Security Essentials
This Network Defense and Countermeasures class is ideal for Network Administrators responsible for maintaining a wide range of network technologies.
