Computer Network Security: Technologies and Tools for Network Admins and Security Officers. This course will explore network security more in-depth, covering critical tools and technologies cyber security professionals in the field need to know in order to keep networks secure.
Advanced Network security consists of the provisions and policies adopted by a network administrator to prevent and monitor unauthorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, which is controlled by the network administrator. Users choose or are assigned an ID and password or other authenticating information that allows them access to information and programs within their authority. Network security covers a variety of computer networks, both public and private, that are used in everyday jobs conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals.
