PURPOSE:
Network security isn't a one-size-fits-all strategy. Dive into the various segments of network security, and learn how they overlap and interact with each other. IT has changed considerably, moving from a client-server environment to one driven by digital transformation, which increases the interaction of mobile devices, cloud resources such as SaaS and IaaS, and IoT. All this innovation has greatly expanded the ability of people and devices to communicate. What remains constant, however, is that the network, no matter what form it takes, must protect the usability and integrity of network resources.

The training course flow will be a mix of lectures & classroom discussions so that participants can have a detailed understanding of various components of network security.

About this workshop:
This workshop is designed to provide update knowledge on five essential of network security and provide the insight different network security technologies. Understand the challenges faced by corporate security teams how to mitigate security threats and network attacks by using different network security technologies.

After completing this workshop, you will be able to:

Understand the role of solution based on Network Access Control.
Discuss and understand Cloud Access Security Broker.
Distributed Denial-of-Attack Mitigation
Demystifying Software-Defined Wide Area Network
