Network Security and Defence

This course is intended to help participants understand defensive security. It is built on the concept of “The best defence is a good offense”. Network security professionals need to look beyond the configuration of the hardware and software alone but start looking and the traffic flow within the network. The knowledge of what traffic flow to where in the network will help define defensive security.

In course is built around four security areas:

  • Network device security
  • Endpoint security
  • Application security
  • Parameter less security

In this course the participant will learn the following:

  • Computer Network and Defense Fundamentals.
  • The Biggest Misconception in Cyber defense
  • Starting network defence through vulnerability testing, Pentesting and audit.
  • How to use threat hunting & OSINT activities to understand the threats faced by the organization.
  • Learn how to use the MITRE ATT&CK framework to learn about network threats and the various technical and tactics used by threat actors.
  • Identify detection capabilities, or lack thereof.
  • Learn to track defensive security controls,
  • Traditional v. Modern Cyber Defense methods
  • Network Security Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Attacks.
  • The Role of ethical hacking in network defence
  • Wireless Network Defence.
  • Network Monitoring and Analysis.
  • Network Security Controls, Protocols, and Devices
  • How to Improve Cyber Defense for your Network
  • Building a defensible network architecture
  • Designing a security Choke Points and Network Inspection
