Course Description:

Having a good knowledge of Network Security in Wireless and TCP/IP networks is extremely important for anyone in the service provider business.  Knowledge and skills with regards to network security are vital to IP network backbone engineers, support engineers/technicians, engineers that test these networks and equipment that is installed in these networks, as well as development engineers.  cloud tcpipsecurity

The course is a combination of knowledge training, systems analysis, with hands-on exercises using Linux based systems, designed by CellStream consultants to bring the technician/engineer, who knows a little about Security, to a deeper understanding of the terms, the tools, and the security issues. A combination of knowledge training, hands-on exercises, and hands-on experience reveals Network Security in a swift, detailed, and understandable way.

Course Objectives:

The objectives of the course are to:

  1. Develop a “hands-on” skill set targeted at TCP/IP and Wi-Fi Security in the following key areas:
    • Tools
    • Security vulnerabilities and attack methods
    • Possible mitigations
  2. Understand security terminology
  3. Understand what hackers do and how they do it
  4. Improve customer satisfaction by sharing the knowledge and skills to mitigate security risks
  5. Deepen networking knowledge and understanding

These objectives are met by covering the necessary technical bases in a straight forward manner, by keep the content in context of the objectives – connecting the dots. Utilizing a short, subject specific architecture with exercises to drive home key points and Hands-On experience that reveal these points builds skills and knowledge based on Bloom’s Taxonomy. Presentation is industry current and up-to-date using a technology specialists.

Audience:

The target audience for this course is anyone in the telecommunications field that requires a solid and complete understanding of the fundamental operations of the TCP/IP protocol suite in networking, and desires hands-on skills that can be applied to their job function. Ideal candidates are:

  • Central Office Technicians, Engineers, and Supervisors
  • Line Technicians, and Customer Service Technicians
