Lecture contents: |
Objectives Students understand the basic functionality and tasks of various network security devices. A main aspect is to emphasize the tradeoff between the required effort and the necessary reductions in convenience to reach a certain security level. Subject Security considerations in LANs, Firewalls, IDS/IPS (Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems), VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), NAC/NAP (Network Admission Control / Network Access Protection). These topics are presented in an overview; a selected set of concepts is discussed in greater detail and is also practiced in the hands-on labs. Methods Practical examples in the network lab complement and extend the lectures and accompanied discussions. |
