Intrusion management is more than a tool or a person -- it is also a process. These resources arm you with the knowledge you need to implement and maintain an intrusion management life cycle. Learn how to protect, detect and analyze network vulnerabilities to mitigate the risk of a compromised environment. Includes IDS, IPS, NBAD, SEM, DOS Prevention, Monitoring traffic network and Network Forensics, and Network Scanning.
A solid network design is crucial for maintaining a secure network. From perimeter firewalls to locking down endpoint devices and controlling user access, these resources help you build a secure layered network and identify vulnerabilities to prevent attacks.
Virtual Private Network (VPN) is constructed by using public wires to connect nodes. For example, there are a number of systems that enable you to create networks using the Internet as the medium for transporting data. These systems use encryption and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
Building and maintaining a secure wireless LAN can be a challenge. These resources provide you with tools and tactics to successfully configure, implement and manage a solid wireless network.
