IT - Network Security

IT Network security refers to the practices and technologies designed to protect the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of computer networks and data. It involves implementing measures to safeguard against unauthorized access, cyberattacks, and data breaches. Key components of network security include firewalls, intrusion detection systems, encryption, and secure access controls. By ensuring robust network security, organizations can protect sensitive information, maintain operational continuity, and comply with regulatory requirements.

This assessment will test the following key areas related to IT network security:

• Firewalls
• Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)
• Encryption methods
• Secure access controls

1. Understanding of Network Security Concepts: Knowledge of the fundamental principles of network security, including integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data.
2. Identification of Security Threats: Ability to recognize various types of threats such as unauthorized access, cyberattacks, and data breaches.
3. Familiarity with Security Technologies: Understanding of key components of network security, including:
4. Implementation of Security Measures: Knowledge of how to implement and manage security measures to protect networks and data.
5. Regulatory Compliance: Awareness of the importance of compliance with relevant regulations and standards related to data protection and network security.
6. Operational Continuity: Understanding the role of network security in maintaining operational continuity and protecting sensitive information.

Overall, the assessment will evaluate the participant's comprehension of network security practices, technologies, and their application in real-world scenarios.
