SSCP Domain : Networks and Telecommunications Part 1

Course details

In the fast paced business world of today, secure and reliable communication within your corporation and with outside networks is mandatory. This course covers various aspects of secure digital communications including authentication, data integrity, transport formats and transmission methods. This course teaches the learner about network topology schemes and application and transport layer security protocols such as S/MIME and SSL. It shows how to optimize network level security to protect against DoS attacks using IP addressing techniques and SMTP, ICMP and authentication protocols. The course also examines how to optimize WAN access and security methods and how to maximize physical transmission methods and data integrity in an enterprise environment. This course guides you through the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) recommended by the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC)2 for its Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) certification. The SSCP credential certifies student expertise in 7 different knowledge domains.

• recognize the layers of the DoD model
