Best Practices in Network Security
Attaining a high level of network security is a matter of systematically
implementing and maintaining the best security practices we can devise. This
2-day workshop trains participants in how to establish and maintain topnotch
security in the face of ever more sophisticated threats.
Best Practices is presented as a combination of hands-on labs, demonstrations
and lecture. Each unit has a full series of practical hands-on labs to reinforce
the presented material. Labs include firewalls, use of authentication and
encryption tools, implementing effective antivirus measures — and more — as
noted in the following outline.
Attendees return to their jobs with a clear understanding of the security
obstacles they face and armed with a powerful set of skills and tools to
overcome them.
