About

The Advanced Network Security program provides hands-on training in cyber defense strategies, network hardening, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), next-gen firewalls, VPN security, and cloud security. Participants will gain expertise in cyber threat intelligence, penetration testing, zero-trust security models, and compliance frameworks, preparing them for high-demand cybersecurity roles.

Aim

To equip participants with in-depth knowledge of network security, including threat detection, intrusion prevention, encryption, firewalls, and security policies, ensuring robust protection of enterprise networks against cyber threats.

Program Objectives

To provide advanced network security skills for securing IT infrastructure.
To train participants in firewall, IDS/IPS, and VPN configurations.
To develop expertise in Zero Trust security, cloud security, and network hardening.
To introduce cyber threat intelligence, incident response, and forensic analysis.
To prepare professionals for network security and cybersecurity certification exams.

Program Structure

Week 1: Network Security Foundations and Threat Mitigation

Module 1: Understanding Network Security Threats and Vulnerabilities

Fundamentals of Network Security
- CIA Triad: Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability.
- Common attack vectors: DoS/DDoS, MITM, Phishing, SQL Injection, and Insider Threats.
- OSI Model and security challenges at each layer.
Threat Intelligence and Risk Assessment
- Cyber threat intelligence frameworks: MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain.
- Risk assessment methodologies: Qualitative vs. Quantitative analysis.
- Threat modeling and vulnerability scanning (Nmap, Nessus).

Hands-On Lab:

Performing vulnerability scanning using Nmap and Nessus.

Module 2: Perimeter Security and Firewall Implementation

Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW)
- Stateful vs. Stateless firewalls.
- Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and Application-Layer Filtering.
- Implementing Palo Alto, Cisco ASA, and Fortinet Firewalls.
Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS)
- Signature-based vs. anomaly-based detection.
- Deploying Snort and Suricata for real-time threat monitoring.

Hands-On Lab:

Configuring firewall rules and setting up IDS/IPS for attack detection.

Week 2: Secure Network Architecture, Encryption, and VPNs

Module 3: Secure Network Design and Zero Trust Security

Implementing a Secure Network Infrastructure
- Network segmentation, VLANs, and Microsegmentation.
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Identity & Access Management (IAM).
- Implementing a DMZ and network segmentation with Cisco ISE.
Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA)
- Least privilege access and software-defined perimeters.
- Implementing Network Access Control (NAC).

Hands-On Lab:

Configuring VLAN segmentation and Zero Trust security policies.

Module 4: VPNs, Secure Tunneling, and Encryption

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) for Secure Connectivity
- IPsec vs. SSL VPNs.
- Configuring Site-to-Site and Remote Access VPNs.
- WireGuard and OpenVPN for secure tunneling.
Encryption and Data Protection
- Symmetric vs. Asymmetric encryption (AES, RSA, ECC).
- Implementing TLS/SSL for encrypted communication.
- PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) and Digital Certificates.

Hands-On Lab:

Configuring an IPsec VPN between two network segments.

Week 3: Advanced Threat Protection, Incident Response, and Compliance

Module 5: Advanced Threat Detection and Security Monitoring

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)

Network Traffic Analysis and Anomaly Detection
- Detecting DDoS and Malware propagation.
- Configuring NetFlow and network telemetry.

Hands-On Lab:

Using a SIEM tool to detect abnormal network behavior.

Module 6: Incident Response, Compliance, and Security Best Practices

Incident Response Frameworks
- NIST 800-61, SANS Incident Handling Process.
- Developing an Incident Response Plan (IRP).
Regulatory Compliance and Network Security Best Practices
- GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001 compliance.
- Security hardening and patch management strategies.
- Red Team vs. Blue Team security operations.

Hands-On Lab:

Conducting a forensic analysis of a simulated network breach.
