Computer Networks for Beginners

Encryption of files and firewalls are just some of the security measures that can be used in security. This course, Network security, which assumes you have a substantial knowledge of computing, helps to explain the intricacies of the continually changing area of network security by studying the main issues involved in achieving a reasonable degree of resilience against attacks.

After a successful completion of this course, one should be able to:

1. identify some of the factors driving the need for network security
2. identify and classify particular examples of attacks
3. define the terms vulnerability, threat and attack
4. Identify physical points of vulnerability in simple networks
5. Compare and contrast symmetric and asymmetric encryption systems and their vulnerability to attack, and explain the characteristics of hybrid systems.

Who this course is for:

·        This specialization in intended for IT/ICT/ Computer Science/ Computer Engineering professionals who would like to move up ladder, who are seeking to develop network system security skills.
