The security of computer, data and networks is now a matter of importance to everyone who uses them. Computers connected to a network, whether local or wide area, are exposed to many threats against their effective operation and the safety and privacy of the data they hold.
Topics Covered
This course provides an introduction to the technology and the different methods of virtualisation available. Networking and Security concerns are explored in further detail, as critical elements to deployment. The second part of the course covers the application of Cloud Computing in more detail.
Detecting and efficiently responding to incidents, especially those where critical resources are exposed to elevated risks is important for any organisation. This course is designed to share best practice in incident response, and provide hands on scenario-based activities to develop participants understanding and to enable them to apply this within their site.
Topics Covered
This course aims to provide an overview of the security aspects of computer networks from the managerial perspective and focuses on prevention through effective policy and procedures. This is supported by an opportunity for delegates to discuss issues with their peers and the course facilitator.
This course will benefit staff (and their managers) whose jobs require them to have privileged access to shared networks, computers and applications: for example system and network administrators and those responsible for the administration or content of databases. Familiarity with operations requiring enhanced privileges and prior knowledge of the organisation’s own published privacy policies would also be useful.
