This three-day, instructor-led course provides you with the knowledge and skills to design a secure network infrastructure. Topics include assembling the design team, modeling threats, and analysing security risks in order to meet business requirements for securing computers in a networked environment. The course encourages decision-making skills through an interactive tool that simulates real-life scenarios that the target audience may encounter. You are given the task of collecting the information and sorting through the details to resolve the given security requirement.
This course is intended for IT systems engineers and security specialists who are responsible for establishing security policies and procedures for an organisation. Students should have one to three years of experience designing related business solutions.
