Diploma in Security System Details
Because human error is the number one cause for a network security breach, CompTIA Security+ is recognized by the technology community as a valuable credential that proves competency with information security. CompTIA Security+ training provides the skills necessary to apply and implement technical knowledge of security concepts in today’s security environment.
In this course, by studying attacks on computer systems, network, and the Web, students will learn the fundamental principles of computer and network security.
After this course, through the use of network hacking techniques and vulnerability scanning, you will be able to discover vulnerabilities across a whole network.
For maximum security, you will be able to architect your network and avoid local and remote attacks. We also provide you with better network security services by using custom router firmware.
You will understand the different types of available firewalls and what threats each help to mitigate. Including MacOS and BSD layer 4 firewalls such as Iptables on Linux and PF. Virtual firewalls, host-based firewalls, and firewalls based on applications such as Pfsence. We cover firewalls for all usage scenarios on all platforms including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. You will master network monitoring to discover and identify potential hackers, malware and other adversaries that might be lurking on your network. Using tools like Wireshark, Tcpdump and Syslog.
