| About The Provider |
Alison is one of the world’s largest free
learning platforms for education and skills training. It is a for-profit social
enterprise dedicated to making it possible for anyone, to study anything,
anywhere, at any time, for free online, at any subject level. Through our

and has grown organically to become a major force in free online education and
skills training. Today, with more than 13 million learners in 195 countries,

successful business focused on meeting a huge global social need, making
education and skills training more accessible for everyone. He invites anyone

Alison is free of charge to you. But it’s still
a business – albeit a socially-focused one. We are a social enterprise making
our money through advertising, merchandise, and the sale of Certificates and
Diplomas, should a graduate choose to buy one. |
The course begins by defining network infrastructure and network security. It then continues by describing the features and functions of the VPN protocol and the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP). It will teach you how PPTP captures Point-To-Point (PPP) frames into IP datagrams for transmission over an IP-based network. You will also learn about L2TP and how it relies on IPSec in Transport Mode for encryption services. You will also look into how Firewalls protect a network from malicious attack and unwanted intrusion.
You will then learn how a Perimeter network keeps certain information open only to specific users or to the public while keeping the rest of the data an organization's secret. The course will also discuss how Application-level gateway functions, supports, and checks whether the type of application traffic is allowed. Finally, you will look into how the Network Intrusion Detection System(NIDS) detects and monitors network traffic and how the Network Intrusion Prevention System(NIPS) inspects, removes, and redirects malicious traffic.
With the proliferation of information technology, more and more of our personal data is being encoded and stored in the world wide web. This makes it a lot easier for hackers to gain access. While it is true that there is still no network that is totally immune to attacks, it is still essential to have trained professionals who can create stable and efficient network security system. By taking this course in Digital Network Security, you will take one big step towards becoming such a valued professional.
