Network security is of growing concern for businesses, with daily attacks occurring on internal systems. Increasingly, staff need to be more aware of network security issues, and how to protect themselves and their businesses from attack.

Understand network security attacks and protect your systems

This short, free online course will help professionals understand the first steps of network security techniques. We will focus on software vulnerabilities that can be used to attack a system, before exploring potential defence strategies to either deter or mitigate such attacks.

Over three weeks, you will:

  • identify different types of network security attack;
  • analyse how businesses and individuals can identify an attack on their networks;
  • compare different defend, deter and detect methods for protecting systems; and explore the tools used to detect attacks.
  • Learn with network security experts from CSIT Belfast
