This laboratory is a practical course that covers network and system security topics. The lessons include full practical setup guides, such as labs from Palo Alto, for students to practice their new skills in deploying technologies and strategies in a production network. The course's primary sections are divided into network security and endpoint security. Network security will teach you secure network design concepts, the configuration of network appliances such as switches, and a look into the secure configuration of firewalls, web filtering, and advanced malware protection. The endpoint security section focuses mainly on Windows security, as most corporate networks have Windows systems. You will also learn Active Directory, Group Policy, patch management, endpoint hardening, and the vulnerability management cycle. These topics are taught practically with step-by-step guides on deploying the technology. Students will leave this course knowing exactly how to accomplish these tasks.
