You’ve got the basics, now take your security know-how to new heights. As society grows more and more dependent on digital information, understanding how it can be misused has become vitally important. In this course, you’ll gain extensive exposure to all aspects of network security, including intrusion detection, prevention and response; malicious code; policy and mechanism; firewalls and VPN’s, router security; cryptographic protocols for privacy and integrity; and the cost of prevention. Then you’ll have the opportunity to break into teams and use your newly learned techniques to “capture the flag” by locating a prize that has been hidden somewhere on the network.
