Internet Security and Forensics
Understanding security threats and implementing effective security measures are key factors in ensuring network reliability and integrity and stability and in turn maintaining customer and user trust and credibility.
However, no network is ever fully secure or protected. There is always a risk factor. ISPs and other network operators therefore need to know how to manage this risk factor to reduce or deflect the impact of any attack, disruption or exploitation. They need to be able to identify and assess the risk, build resistance to attacks and intrusion attempts on their network, and plan how to respond to any violations or vulnerabilities.
| Course outline | The object of this training is to examine the elements involved in establishing and maintaining security for a network, and building an understanding and familiarity with their operation. Device and network infrastructure security is examined with a focus on establishing robust, stable and secure network and protecting the data and processes that occur in the network. The course also looks at the nature and structure of network attacks and the motivation that drives such on-line malicious activity. The type of tools that are used in modern attacks, who is behind these, and the impact they have, is also discussed. The course further examines the actions and processes that can be used to identify, mitigate and respond to such attacks. To illustrate this, the creation of a botnet is shown and exercised. Identifying attack streams and understanding the nature of TCP/IP traffic is covered and exercised through the use of Wireshark, nfsen and nfdump. |
