Network Security Training

Network Security Training is a 2-day course applies the knowledge of network security in design, develop or integrate the secure networks.

Partiicipants are introducted to a set of labs, workshops and group activities of real world case studies in order to prepare you for the real-world problems and to be able to tackle all the related network security challenges.

Network security involves access control, virus and antivirus software, application security, network analytics, types of network-related security (endpoint, web, wireless), firewalls, VPN encryption and more.

Network security is an overarching term that describes hardware and software solutions as well as processes or rules and configurations relating to network use, accessibility, and overall threat protection.

Network security protects your network and data from breaches, intrusions and other threats.

Security as Code, Shift Left Security, and Security Automation are three of the most popular methodologies and frameworks for building a more secure network.

Network security has never been more important with the increased reliance on Cloud usage, global connectivity and IoT.

The evolving cyber threat landscape, including the rise of generative AI, has added to this problem. These growing threats have persuaded businesses to reconsider their security posture and ultimately boosted the demand for endpoint security software.

An endpoint can be considered as a device that enables an employee to connect to a corporate network.

Endpoint security software enables businesses to protect devices that employees use for work purposes or servers that are either on a network or in the cloud from cyber threats.

The main goal of any endpoint security solution is to protect data and workflows associated with all devices that connect to the corporate network. It does this by examining files as they enter the network and comparing them against an ever-increasing database of threat information, which is stored in the cloud.

Analysts often point out that there are many layers to consider when addressing network security across an organization. Attacks can happen at any layer in the network security layers model, so your network security hardware, software and policies must be designed to address each area.

Unquestionably, today’s network architecture is complex and is faced with a threat environment that is always changing and attackers that are always trying to find and exploit vulnerabilities.

These vulnerabilities can exist in a broad number of areas, including devices, data, applications, users and locations. Consequently, there are many network security management tools and applications in use today that address individual threats and exploits and also regulatory non-compliance.

The importance of effective network security is fully realized when you consider that just a few minutes of downtime can cause widespread disruption and massive damage to an organization’s bottom line and reputation, it is essential that these protection measures are in place.
