About this course
This course covers a wide variety of IT security concepts, tools, and best practices. It introduces threats and attacks and demonstrates the many ways they can reveal themselves. It further explores the functionality of encryption algorithms and how they're used to safeguard data, and it introduces the three As of information security: authentication, authorization, and accounting. The use of network security solutions, ranging from firewalls to Wi-Fi encryption options, are also covered.
