Network Defense Strategies

Course Overview

In a world increasingly reliant on digital infrastructure, the security of network has become a corner stone of organizational resilience, as network continue to grow in complexity and interconnectivity across offices, production plants and data centres, the threat landscape continue to evolve, cyber adversaries no longer rely on brute force attack alone; they exploit architectural weakness, misconfiguration and unmonitored systems to defend against such threats organizations must design, implement and manage networks with security woven into every layer    

This course provides students with an in-depth, structured, and practical understanding of how to secure modern network environments through every phase of their lifecycle. It is specifically designed to help learners develop the skills to build secure, scalable networks; deploy key protective technologies such as VLANs and VPNs; monitor traffic in real-time; and establish effective network defence strategies. Emphasizing a blend of architecture, hands-on configuration, and policy-driven operations, this course is ideal for aspiring network security professionals, system administrators, or anyone responsible for protecting organizational infrastructure.
