CompTIA Network+ 2012: Network Security Part 2

Course details

Security is a concern of everyone from the home user to the network administrator of a large enterprise. Although the threats and mitigation of threats are similar for both, the scale in which protections and solutions need to be applied is not. Everyone, regardless of their role, should be familiar with the different threats and attacks they may encounter and how to protect against them or clean up an infection. This course describes many of the threats that may be encountered in wired and wireless networks and how to mitigate those threats. This course prepares the learner for the CompTIA Network+ 2012 certification exam N10-005. Network+ is sometimes referred to as N+ or Net+.
