Tools to help prevent cyber-attacks with IDS (Intrusion Detection Systems), authentication, and encryption are demonstrated. Student labs include: configuration of a SOHO (Small Office/Home Office), a firewall, a virtual private network (VPN), a switch, and a router and documenting a networking using professional drawing software. The responsibilities of an ICT (Information and Communications Technology) professional will CompTIA Network+ Certification Exam. This professional certification verifies the student has the knowledge equivalent to that of an ICT technician with about 12 months of hands-on experience. Students who have completed or are enrolled in CIS 66 may not receive credit. Strongly Recommended: CIS 50 with a minimum grade of C CNT 55 MCSA-IWINDOWS SERVER 3.0 Units This course prepares students for the Microsoft’s Examination: Installation, Storage and Compute with Windows Server, which is the first of three exams a student must pass to obtain a MCSA (Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate) Certification. By passing this exam, one become a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) and gains access to MCP network or computer systems administrator or as a computer network specialist. The topics include installation, storage, and compute features and functionality available in the current Windows Server, Nano Server, images for deployment, storage solutions, data deduplication, high availability, disaster recovery, storage spaces direct, and failover clustering solutions. Also covered: Hyper-V and containers. Strongly Recommended: CNT 52 with a minimum grade of C CNT 69 NETWORK SECURITY; COMPTIA 3.0 Units The CompTIA Security+ exam will certify the successful candidate has the knowledge and skills required to install and configure systems to secure applications, networks, and devices; perform threat analysis and respond with appropriate mitigation techniques; participate in risk mitigation activities; and operate with an awareness of applicable policies, laws, and regulations. The successful candidate will perform these tasks to support the principles of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This course provides an introduction to the concepts and practices of secure network design and management using desktop and network operating systems, router and switch operating systems, hardware and software Firewall and VPN technology for wired and wireless systems. The program includes authentication methods and devices, protocol analysis and IP network troubleshooting, strategies for identifying and countering vulnerabilities, network media and topologies in a secure network, intrusion detection and forensic incident response. CompTIA Security+ meets the ISO 17024 standard and is approved by U.S. Department of Defense. Security+ is also compliant with government regulations under the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). Strongly Recommended: CNT 51 and CNT 52 with a minimum grade of C CNT 7285 CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE: COMPTIA 3.0 Units IT professionals need to understand the concepts and principles required to build cloud infrastructure. This course covers the objectives of the CompTIA Cloud+ and Dell/EMC Cloud Infrastructure and Services (CIS) certification exams. Topics include: Cloud Computing Concepts; Models; Disk Storage Systems; Storage Networking; Network Infrastructure; Virtualization Components; Virtualization and the Cloud; Network Management; Performance Tuning; Systems Management; Security in the Cloud and Best Practices; Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery; Testing; Automation; and Changes. The EMC cloud computing reference model includes five fundamental layers (physical, virtual, control, orchestration, and service) and three cross-layer functions (business continuity, security, and service management). Technologies, components, processes, and mechanisms for each layer and cross-layer function will be covered. The course follows the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology as a guide for all definitions of cloud computing. Upon completing this course, participants will have the knowledge to make informed decisions on technologies, processes, and mechanisms required to build cloud infrastructure.
