Overview
Enterprise networks are highly complex infrastructures that demand correct management practices in planning, operations and security. Significant challenges arise from the scale of operations required as well as the increasingly common incidents of intrusion, sabotage, espionage or data theft, and vandalism. The unit will provide you with practical foundations in planning secure networks, policy-based operations and the implementation of security. You will also be introduced to best practices in dealing with security breaches. Practical skills will be acquired through lab activities and case studies (projects).
