-: Network Attacks. 2 2
In this section of the course, 3 3
we're going to talk about network attacks. 4 4
Now security is an important part of running our networks, 5 5
because if we don't secure our networks, 6 6
someone will eventually find their way in 7 7
and cause a data breach or other malicious actions 8 8
against our organizations. 9 9
Network security is critically important 10 10
to our modern networks, 11 11
especially since most of our networks are always on 12 12
and always connected 13 13
to the world's largest wide area network, the internet. 14 14
Now, as you're probably aware, 15 15
the internet can be a really scary place. 16 16
There's lots of bad people doing lots of bad things 17 17
at all hours of the day or night. 18 18
So in this section, 19 19
we're going to focus on all the bad things 20 20
that can happen to your network 21 21
when you don't secure them properly. 22 22
Now, in this section of the course, 23 23
we're going to talk again about domain four, network security, 24 24
and we're going to cover just one objective, objective 4.2. 25 25
Objective 4.2 states that you must comparing and contrast 26 26
common types of attacks. 27 27
So let's get started learning all about network attacks 28 28
and threats to our networks.
