NETWORK SECURITY

AIM

Information is a critical asset that should be carried in secure network architectures. The main objective of this course is to provide knowledge of network security so that students will be able to implement a secure network architecture using different security protocols and Technologies. It will cover the topics of network architectures, hacking, attack methodologies, firewalls, IDS, VPNs, cryptography, security design principles, wireless networking, cloud security, Internet of Things (IoT) security.
