Objectives:

Security and Intrusion Detection Fundamentals

  • recognize the reasons for implementing network security.
  • overview the general categories of security threat and identify the methods for mitigating packet sniffing and IP spoofing attacks.
  • recognize the methods used to mitigate DoS, password, man-in-the-middle, and application layer attacks.
  • recognize how to mitigate network reconnaissance, trust exploitation, unauthorized access, and virus attacks.
  • identify the components of a security policy and Cisco's security wheel and recognise the vulnerabilities of network management protocols.
  • select the appropriate procedure to mitigate specific threats to network security for a given scenario.
  • identify the characteristics of network attacks and distinguish between different alarms, security vulnerabilities, and exploits.
  • distinguish between intrusion detection methods, HIPS and NIDS, and the techniques used to evade intrusion detection systems.
  • recognize the intrusion detection methodologies and technologies used in IDS implementation.
