Network Hardening, Network Segmentation, and Secure Connections

In this OnDemand course, ICT professionals will discover how network hardening helps identify potential vulnerabilities, secure systems, and reduce the risk of unauthorized access. This course provides how to secure administrative and remote access connections. ICT professionals will discover key features of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and explore the various types of firewalls and logical locations to place them on a network. Discover how to control and manage traffic using rules on routers and firewalls and explore how firewall management can contribute to overall network hardening. Discover how to limit internal and external physical access to resources. Explore best practices for managing telecom and wiring closets as well as considerations for establishing secure access. Lastly, explore the importance of hardening wireless access points and recognize how to harden network elements including firewalls, routers, and access points. This course was originally created by Global Knowledge (GK).
