This course explores the strategies, tools, and standards used to secure data as it traverses networks. It covers intrusion detection and prevention systems, advanced firewall orchestration, zero-trust network segmentation, and the integration of software-defined networking (SDN) security controls. Students will also work with network traffic analysis tools, threat intelligence platforms, and network forensics techniques to identify advanced persistent threats and devise mitigation strategies. By the end of the course, students will have the analytical and technical skills to implement scalable security architectures and maintain secure communication channels in dynamic, distributed networks.
