Overview/Description
Securing network communications is a key activity in managing the security of any IT system, and the network is a common and potent vector for attack. In this course, you'll learn about the design and components of network systems, how to implement secure systems, and how to mitigate common attacks. This course is one of a series in the Skillsoft learning path that covers the objectives for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam.

Target Audience
