About this course
This course develops practical capability in Network Security. Its course-specific content covers Network attack surfaces, Access controls, Detection evidence, Control validation, followed by an applied project focused on design and validate a segmented network policy. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with Network Security or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Working knowledge of cybersecurity and practical familiarity with the named platform or subject. Review the course topics before enrolment to confirm the lab starting point.
Design and validate a segmented network policy
Deliver design and validate a segmented network policy. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
Course content
Course-specific syllabus and practical exercises. Lab release, access arrangements and final delivery scope are confirmed before enrolment.
01Network attack surfaces
+
- Trust zones and exposed services
- Traffic paths and administrative boundaries
Practical exerciseApply network attack surfaces to the design and validate a segmented network policy and capture the validation evidence.
02Access controls
+
- Firewall rules and network ACLs
- VPN access and identity-aware segmentation
Practical exerciseApply access controls to the design and validate a segmented network policy and capture the validation evidence.
03Detection evidence
+
- Packet metadata and network logs
- IDS-IPS roles and anomaly investigation
Practical exerciseApply detection evidence to the design and validate a segmented network policy and capture the validation evidence.
04Control validation
+
- Authorised reachability tests
- Rule review, exceptions and remediation evidence
Practical exerciseApply control validation to the design and validate a segmented network policy and capture the validation evidence.
05Applied project: Design and validate a segmented network policy
+
- Define inputs, assumptions and acceptance criteria for: Design and validate a segmented network policy.
- Implement the project using network attack surfaces, access controls, detection evidence, control validation.
Practical exerciseDesign and validate a segmented network policy.
06Network Security — validation and review
+
- Demonstrate the completed project against its acceptance criteria.
- Exercise an invalid-input or failure scenario and document the observed result.
Practical exercisepresent the project evidence, limitations and a repeatable handover.
