-: Security Technologies. 2 2
In this section of the course, 3 3
we're going to talk about security technologies. 4 4
As a network technician 5 5
it is your job to ensure our network is secure 6 6
with the help of your organization cyber security team. 7 7
Usually as a network technician, 8 8
you're going to be the one configuring the devices 9 9
and implementing the security upgrades 10 10
that are required to keep your network secure. 11 11
So in this section, we're going to focus on 12 12
how to prevent bad things from happening to your networks, 13 13
but using different security technologies, 14 14
like firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, 15 15
remote access, virtual private networks, 16 16
IPsec, and of course, 17 17
network logging and monitoring for intrusions 18 18
to best protect your networks. 19 19
We're going to be talking about four different domains 20 20
in this section of the course. 21 21
Domain one: networking fundamentals. 22 22
Domain two: network implementations. 23 23
Domain three: network operations, 24 24
and domain four: network security. 25 25
We're going to be discussing six different objectives 26 26
across these four domains. 27 27
This includes objective 1.5, 28 28
which states that you must be able 29 29
to explain common ports and protocols, 30 30
their application and encrypted alternatives. 31 31
Objective 2.1, 32 32
which states that you must be able to compare 33 33
and contrast various devices, 34 34
their features and their appropriate placements 35 35
on the network. 36 36
Objective 3.1, 37 37
which states that given a scenario, 38 38
you must use the appropriate statistics 39 39
and sensors to ensure network availability. 40 40
And objective 4.1, 41 41
which states that you must explain common security concepts. 42 42
Also, we'll talk about objective 4.3, 43 43
which states that given a scenario, 44 44
you must apply network hardening techniques. 45 45
And objective 4.4 states that you must compare 46 46
and contrast remote access methods 47 47
and security implications. 48 48
Now let's start talking 49 49
all about the different types of security technologies 50 50
and how you can best protect your networks.
