Network Security EXTRA PLUS Training

The real essence of Network Security - Network+, CCNA Security and Security+ training is to develop IT engineers, IT administrators and security administrators to always be security-conscious before designing network infrastructures as well as to inspire them towards getting certified in information security. The Career Development program will be led by Ernest Egu, a Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) who specializes in Network Security.

Network Security EXTRA PLUS training Weekends for 4 Saturdays starts on April 14, 2012.  Registration is on at present for the Classes 

Our job as information security professionals is to evaluate risks against our critical assets and deploy safeguards to mitigate those risks. We work in various roles: firewall engineers, penetration testers, auditors, management, etc. The common thread is risk: it is part of our job description.

The Network Security domain focuses on the requirements needed to be certified in Cisco CCNA Security, Security plus (Security+) as well as Network plus (Network+). The program meets the needs of IT professionals who are responsible for this area.

The difference between organizations that are successful versus those that fail in this realm is usually not tied to dollars or size of staff: it is tied to the right people in the right roles. Knowledgeable and experienced information security staff with supportive and vested leadership is the key to success. The domain wraps up with ethics, which is required for successful organizations (and information security careers).

Training Objectives

The students are trained to build network infrastructures with security in mind such as access control systems.

- Security for Cisco and Internetworking - Cisco CCNA Security
- Networking for IT Infrastructure - Network+
- Security for IT Infrastructure - Security+

Access control is the basis for all security disciplines, not just IT security. The purpose of access control is to allow authorized users access to appropriate data and deny access to unauthorized users. Seems simple, right? It would be easy to completely lock a system down to allow just predefined actions with no room for leeway. In fact, many organizations, including the U.S. Military, are doing just that; restricting the access users have to systems to a very small functional capability.

However, with increasing dependence on the Internet to perform work, systems must be flexible enough to be able to run a wide variety of software that is not centrally controlled.

Another concern that impacts access control is the dependence on antiquated (also known as “legacy”) software applications. Large IT infrastructures (such as the U.S. Military) may run mission-dependent applications that are over 10 years old! The cost of replacing these legacy applications is often too large for the organization to complete in one funding cycle. IT professionals must often manage security while running insecure legacy applications which introduce access control risks. One thing is certain: with the dependence on IT as a means of doing business, and Access Control as one of the first lines of defense, understanding how to properly implement access controls has become vital in the quest for secure communications.

Access controls protect against threats such as unauthorized access, inappropriate modification of data, and loss of confidentiality. Access control is performed by implementing strong technical, physical, and administrative measures.

Remember that physical security is implicit in most other security controls, including access control.

The network security program also highlights the technology behind cryptography and encryption.

Cryptography is secret writing: secure communication that may be understood by the intended recipient only. While the fact that data is being transmitted may be known, the content of that data should remain unknown to third parties. Data in motion (moving on a network) and at rest (stored on a device such as a disk) may be encrypted.

The use of cryptography dates back thousands of years, but is very much a part of our modern world. Mathematics and computers play a critical role in modern cryptography.

The need to secure network IT assets is vitally important to every IT organization and as such can not be overlooked.

Conducting an initial risk assessment on IT assets is critical for every IT engineer to learn before they can convince management on the need to have a well articulated and flexible security policy or procedures and controls.

MEASURE UP to Global CCNA Security, Network+ and Security+ Certification Standards - the world's most widely recognized certification programs for the fundamentals in Networking and Security. As a last note, it is vitally important for every IT professional to keep up with their studies security-wise and be security aware. Don’t be a paper IT professional
