Course Description
This course will present an overview of the threats to your information technology infrastructure and intellectual property with an emphasis on the detection and prevention of intrusions or theft. The protection of services such as the World Wide Web, file sharing and email will be analyzed. The vulnerabilities and hardening of major operating systems such as Linux and Microsoft's Windows 2000 will be discussed. The course takes a holistic approach - discussing the technical but focusing on the need for proper training and procedures in the maintenance of an effective yet secure information technology infrastructure. While the material of the course is technical in nature, no systems administration or software development experience is assumed.
