Computer networking is an indispensable tool for single users and large enterprises alike, but unfortunately there are those who want to steal your information or profit off of you. Also, technology changes faster than most of us can keep up with it. In this course, you'll discover the elements of securing networks against attackers, including common security threats, malware, and social engineering. Then you'll learn about the risks of unsecured networks and how attackers compromise networks. You'll explore threat mitigation techniques, types of network security software, VPNs, perimeter networks, intrusion detection systems, security training, and information security planning. You'll learn about emerging technologies, including new wireless technologies and enterprise mobility. Then you'll explore the Internet of Things (IoT) and software defined networks. Finally, you'll discover the importance of keeping up with new technologies and methods for staying current. This course was originally created by Global Knowledge (GK).
