Getting Started with Security Architecture

placeholder

Security architecture can be defined as the specifications processes and standard operating procedures (SOPs) required to protect an organizations IT infrastructure. In order to improve network security and mitigate risks a series of network devices can be used to control access to networks and resources. In this course explore how security architectures can be used to enforce security at the network layer. Explore basic switching and routing devices and discover core functions of a network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) and host-based intrusion detection systems (HIDS). Explore the characteristics and categories of firewall devices and learn about networks intranets and demilitarized zones. Discover the benefits of network segmentation and learn how to segment networks. Lastly discover how Network Address Translation (NAT) is used to map addresses and explore how Network Access Control (NAC) can be used to verify compliance using security policies. This course was originally created by Global Knowledge (GK).
