Information Security: Securing Networking Protocols

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Learners can explore the key concept of the common protocols in use, and discover the security issues of the transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) model and security protocols, in this 10-video course. You will begin by taking a look at the common protocols used in a network, the ports they use, and the type they are and what they do. Next, you will examine some of the security issues of the TCP/IP model at the layer level, of which it has four: application, transport, Internet, and data link. You will also explore the threats, vulnerabilities, and mitigation techniques in network security; identify the types of weak protocols and their replacements; and classify the various types of security protocols. Then learners will continue by examining various ways to use security protocols in different situations; the importance of implementing security protocols. In the final tutorial, learners will explore the security-first mindset and its necessity.
