Students will gain practical experience in implementing and managing network security measures. The curriculum includes a series of intensive lab sessions where students will delve into key aspects of network security, such as scanning, firewall configuration, intrusion detection, and incident response simulation. They will also develop proficiency in setting up VPN connections, assessing wireless network security, and analyzing malware samples. With a focus on real-world applications, the course aims to equip students with the skills required to effectively identify and mitigate security threats. By the end of the course, students will emerge with valuable hands-on experience and a readiness to tackle challenges in the ever-evolving field of network security. Corequisite: CNCS 1240 (must be taken at the same time as CNCS 1270)
