Network Security: Challenges and Solutions
Live Instructor-Led Classroom Training
This workshop is intended to provide network analysts with the basic tools needed to protect their computer networks. This 3-day workshop is normally presented as a combination of lecture, hands-on, and demonstrations. Clients hosting the class should discuss workshop customization and setup requirements with the workshop director.
Hands-on labs and demos include LAN setup, configuring IP, basic and extended IP commands such as PING, TRACERT and NETSTAT, using a LAN analyzer to examine IP packets, and using PingPro, NSLOOKUP, and WHOIS utilities on the Internet. Students will build Network Address Translation (NAT) and packet filtering firewalls in class.
