Description

Security professionals must be able to create secure networking environments using appropriate tools and techniques while also being able to test existing network environments for security weaknesses. This course examines the use of routers and switches to create a secure environment, while also looking at how techniques such as creating subnets, DMZs, and VLANs can be used to secure an environment. This course also examines security assessment techniques and how penetration testing, vulnerability scanning tools, and honeypots can be used to find holes in network security. This course helps prepares the learner to write the CompTIA Security+ Certification SYO-301.
