Topic: : Network Security Essentials: Attacks and Defense Strategies
Abstract:
Network security encompasses all physical and virtual assets that enable data transmission between nodes or endpoints. As a result, network defense is a broad and crucial cybersecurity function that covers a wide range of job tasks, including finding security weaknesses, blocking common intrusion attempts, detecting sophisticated cyberthreats, monitoring traffic, implementing security rules, and protecting data.
As the technological landscape evolves, so do threat actors’ network attack techniques. Technological advancements are directly proportional to the developments that occur on both sides of the threat–security divide. Consequently, there is a great deal of territory to cover when introducing the concept of network security and associated threats. The purpose of this webinar is to explain the essential concepts, tools, and terminologies associated with network attacks, vulnerabilities, and defense.
Key takeaways:
- Introduction to networks, digital assets, and vulnerability hotspots
- Understanding network security controls
- Protecting data at different layers of the open systems interconnection model
- The different network security modes and their associations with various types of endpoint devices
- Traditional vs. virtual network security design
- Technical and human-induced vulnerabilities
- Network attacks and security tools
