Traffic Analysis Essentials
This room covers the foundations of network security. Network Security is a set of operations for protecting data, applications, devices and systems connected to the network.
Task 1
Introduction to Network Security.
Task 2
Network Security
Base Network Security Control Levels:
Physical : Physical security controls prevent unauthorised physical access to networking devices, cable boards, locks, and all linked components.
Technical : Data security controls prevent unauthorised access to network data, like installing tunnels and implementing security layers.
Administrative : Administrative security controls provide consistency in security operations like creating policies, access levels and authentication processes.
The key elements of Access Control:
- Firewall Protection
- Network Access Control (NAC)
- Identity and Access Management (IAM)
- Load Balancing
- Network Segmentation
- Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
- Zero Trust Model
Managed Security Services
- Network Penetration Testing
- Vulnerability Assessment
- Incident Response
- Behavioural Analysis
Task 3
Traffic Analysis / Network Traffic Analysis
- Traffic Analysis is a method of intercepting, recording/monitoring, and analysing network data and communication patterns to detect and respond to system health issues, network anomalies, and threats.
Benefits of the Traffic Analysis:
- Provides full network visibility.
- Helps comprehensive baselining for asset tracking.
- Helps to detect/respond to anomalies and threats.
TAsk 4
This room ia all about Network Security Operations and Network Traffic Analysis. Effective network security operations and network traffic analysis play a critical role in maintaining the security and integrity of enterprise networks, protecting sensitive data, and ensuring business continuity in the face of evolving cyber threats and attacks.
