| Objectives |
Students understand the basic functionality and tasks of various network security devices. A main aspect is to emphasize the tradeoff between the required effort and the necessary reductions in convenience to reach a certain security level.
|
| Subject |
Security considerations in LANs, Firewalls, IDS/IPS (Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems), VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), NAC/NAP (Network Admission Control / Network Access Protection).
These topics are presented in an overview; a selected set of concepts is discussed in greater detail and is also practiced in the hands-on labs.
|
| Criteria for evaluation |
Grading is based on class participation in lab exercises, written summaries of the lab exercises and the final written examination. To pass the course, students must successfully pass all three sections.
|
| Methods |
Practical examples in the network lab complement and extend the lectures and accompanied discussions.
