Unit description
Provides students with the requisite knowledge and skills to analyse, configure and secure both traditional and cloud-based small-medium enterprise networks. More specifically students will learn to analyse principal network protocols, internetwork, configure and troubleshoot network devices. Students will also be introduced to network administration, network monitoring and securing data in a networked environment.
Unit content
Network security threats
Understanding network attack trees
Network technologies for SME networks
Network protection measures for SME networks
Network vulnerability analysis and tools
