Overview

Security engineering teams often focus on the security of networked workstations, servers, and applications, neglecting the network itself . Many networks also receive only rudimentary security controls that are often deployed inconsistently. These scenarios not only fail to completely protect the network from today's threats, but they also fail to fully utilize innate network capabilities and existing security controls to detect and mitigate attacks against the computing infrastructure of an organization.

During this course, students will learn leading network security practices from experts who developed these techniques and put them to practical use. The techniques covered in this course are not limited to those that are typically considered "security features"; this course will detail how to leverage network functionality (for example, routing protocols and Cisco IOS NetFlow) and security controls to provide a full range of attack identification and mitigation capabilities. This course is organized around a proven six-phase approach to incident response, which transitions from preparation through post mortem and includes extensive hands-on lab work. The course includes the following instructor-led labs:

What to bring

Laptop with Ethernet connectivity, working web browser, telnet client, CD-ROM drive, and the ability to view PDF files and edit text files.
