Overview
Network security is the cornerstone of protecting enterprise and cloud environments from unauthorized access and damage. This course provides a solid foundation in the principles required to defend organizational resources. You will explore the security mission through the lens of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, while learning how to align technical controls with standard framework functions: identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover.
The course also examines defensive technologies including firewalls, IDS/IPS, web filters, and endpoint protection. You will learn how these tools function within modern infrastructures to mitigate threats and ensure accountability. Through architectural analysis and clear definitions, you will master the ability to build robust security practices that keep systems resilient and accessible for authorized users.
