  • Includes Assessment
  • Earns a Badge
Network security encompasses best practices and policies that are put in place to help monitor and prevent malicious attacks against both internal and external threats. In this course, learn about various types of attacks and their impact on the network, beginning with denial-of-service (DoS) and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, VLAN hopping attacks, MAC flooding attacks, and ARP poisoning attacks. Next, explore ARP and DNS spoofing attacks and the characteristics and purposes of DNS poisoning attacks. Finally, discover the threats posed by rogue devices and services, evil twin attacks, on-path attacks, social engineering attacks, and malware attacks. This course is one of a collection that helps prepare learners for the CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) certification exam.
