Network Security and Infrastructure Protection Essentials

Load shedding, ageing infrastructure and remote branch connectivity create unique network security challenges for South African organisations that generic training rarely covers. This course gives IT and network staff a practical grounding in firewall configuration, segmentation and monitoring suited to constrained infrastructure environments. Delegates practise identifying vulnerabilities in typical branch and head office network layouts.

What you will be able to do

  • Configure firewall rules appropriate to branch and head office network layouts.
  • Apply network segmentation to limit the spread of a security breach.
  • Monitor network traffic for signs of unauthorised access or data exfiltration.
  • Secure remote branch connectivity against interception and tampering.
  • Manage network resilience risks introduced by power outages and infrastructure gaps.
  • Prepare a network security baseline document for ongoing audits.
