Technology Training: Enterprise Security Series: Designing the Network Core
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this course students will be able to:
- List the components of a typical network architecture
- Explain the principles of security architecture and security models
- Describe the touch points to implement security in a corporationšs intranet
Course Type:
The course is taught in class with an instructor.
Prerequisite:
The Student should have a sound understanding of Networking Technologies and basic network design. Our Network Foundations, Internetworking, IP Fundamentals, CISSP Boot Camp is recommended.
Audience:
Individuals that need to understand network security, specifically Systems Engineers, Network Administrators, Network Consultants, Technical Architects, and Security Planners.
Course Description:
This course provides the student with the toolset to design techniques for hardening the core of an enterprise network. This is accomplished through a series of interactive relevant sessions. Each of the students learns from industry experts on each of the areas of network infrastructure and the associated security nexus. Furthermore, the students learn the building blocks of security such as industry practiced models and industry accepted architectures.
