COURSE Secure Network Essentials

WVEIS CODE 1696

Course Description: This course introduces the student to the knowledge base and technical skills required of foundation-level security practitioners. Areas of study include general security concepts, communication security, infrastructure security, basics of cryptography and operational/organizational security. Students will demonstrate knowledge and technical expertise in designing and implementing secure systems. Emphasis will be placed on personal and professional ethics, and students will explore a variety of career opportunities. Students will utilize problem- solving techniques and participate in laboratory activities to develop an understanding of course concepts, and teachers should provide each student with real world learning opportunities and instruction related to occupations in networking. Safety instruction is integrated into all activities.
