Week 2 - Networking Basics

Networking is the process of linking computer systems together to enable the transfer of data between them. Data is shared back and forth between systems through devices that communicate with each other, as well as with other networks. As data is shared back and forth between systems, security devices monitor the traffic and filter out potential harmful traffic. It is important to understand how networking works, as well as the different devices in a network. 

This week will cover

  • Router and its usage 
  • Firewall 
  • Private and Public Internet Protocol (IP)

Week 3 - Networking

Networks have different features, processes, and configurations when working across servers. There are also technologies used to monitor a system or network for harmful threats. When a threat is detected, they take a set of defined measures to prevent it from affecting the system. It is therefore important to understand the dynamics of a network. 

This week will cover

  • Intrusion Detection System (IDS), Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) 
  • Unicast, Broadcast, Multicast 
  • Automatic Private IP Adressing (APIPA)

  • Port Number and Well Known Ports 
  • Network Address Translation (NAT)/Value-Added Network (VAN)

Week 4 - Windows

Windows is primarily an OS that facilitates connecting to the internet, and lets users interact with the system. It has servers that process, manage, and share data to other systems via networks. There are protection protocols integrated into the operating system to keep it safe from threats when sharing data across servers. It is therefore important to understand the basics of Windows and servers. 

This week will cover

  • Server types 
  • Workgroup Vs. Domain 
  • User Account Control Usage
    • What a server is and its function
