Summary of the Training

Security Overview introduces critical security issues, including access control, authentication and a variety of network attacks and countermeasures. It presents the necessary framework of security technologies, including communication security, infrastructure security and operational/organizational security. The basics of cryptography are also introduced in this course.
The following topics are covered:

• General security concepts (access control, authentication, auditing, etc.)
• Communication security (remote access, web security, etc.)
• Infrastructure security (IDS, security topologies, etc.)
• Basics of cryptography (algorithms, PKI, etc.)
• Operational and organizational security (policies, risk identification, etc.)

This introductory course offers a high-level overview of the most important security topics and is suitable for those who are new to the security industry.
