Network Security and Defence

Network defence management is crucial for organizations concerned about cyber security. This course offers a comprehensive introduction to network defense management and teaches techniques for preventing cyberattacks. Participants will gain an understanding of the cyber warfare threat faced by organizations and will have the opportunity to explore state hacking, counter attacks, and cyber attacks. The course provides practical applications for the knowledge gained, allowing participants to witness the real world of network defense management.

One of the key features of this course is the examination of network defense management within a broader context. It specifically addresses cyber threats within the UK, while also providing an assessment of the international landscape and relevant legislation. By understanding cyber warfare threats at both national and international levels, participants will be equipped to pursue a career in cyber security management or further develop their existing cybersecurity careers.

In summary, this course offers an overview of cyber security and networking, with a focus on network defense management in information security. It provides the necessary knowledge and skills to prevent cyberattacks and protect organizations from potential threats. By completing this course, participants will be well-prepared to enter the field of cyber security or advance their existing careers in this rapidly evolving industry.

This course covers five generations of IT/IS. It will provide you with both a historical perspective of technology development and an understanding of the digital opportunities that exist for organizations today. This course will take you back to 1980, when vacuum tubes were used in the first generation computers. It will also cover five generations of innovation. This course will cover the history of integrated circuits and transistors as well as artificial intelligence. The history of computers will be revealed and you'll see how far the IT industry came. You'll be able to examine IT infrastructure, web servers and extranets. Knowing the past will help you assess vulnerabilities both historically and now.

The second week of the course will focus on emerging technologies like cloud security and common cyber threats. They will be discussed as well as web-based and non-web-based threats. You should be able to understand network management and its relationship with cyber threats by the end of this course.

Organisations need to think about global connectivity. Whom they connect with, what data they have and who can access it. This also comes with risk. This short course will teach you how to evaluate network risk and create secure networks.

Network defence managers must be able assess network risks, manage them effectively and recognize that not all options can be negotiable.

This course will help you understand the requirements of network defense management and what they require. This covers both the organisational and physical factors such as budget, risk, response, and connectivity.

This course focuses on setting up network environments that generate large amounts of security events, log data, and network traffic via firewalls, routers, servers, and anti-malware software.

The second week will give you the chance to put your learning into context. You'll be able to look at four case studies from different councils and compare it to your own.

Anyone involved in network defense management should be able to comprehend security architecture. This allows you to segregate different trust domains using security devices.

This course covers anti-virus software, malware protection and cryptographic techniques. It also discusses how to test and maintain firewalls, access control, network security, and wi-fi security. This course will allow you to expand your knowledge of how all these elements interact to create a secure network and how to apply it to real-life situations.

This course examines and analyzes various management techniques and tools. It will be clear that every defense is susceptible to failure at some point. Layered defense is essential. This course will cover how to define trust domains, zoning and security protection, as well as how to implement security requirements.

You will also learn maintenance and response strategies and examine holistic approaches to network defense management.

It is crucial that anyone who plans to pursue a career in cyber security be ready for the future.

This course is a two-week long and will build on all you have learned in this Cyber Security ExpertTrack. It will focus on network security posture.

This course examines the future of security, including network risk and technological considerations. This course will allow you to examine artificial intelligence, state hacking and quantum technologies. Satellites, reliance on technology, and the Internet of Things are all possible.

Collaboration and data sharing are all important. Cyber threat intelligence is also an important consideration. Each theory is applicable to a practical method of creating a secure network within a professional setting.

Security awareness means being aware of all aspects of your security situation, both technical and operational. This includes known vulnerabilities, security infrastructure, network, and computing security architecture.

This course explains the complexities involved in managing the relationship between network security posture desired and true network security posture.

This will be an opportunity to look at it from the perspective of monitoring, testing and auditing, as well as advanced protection methods.
