Description:
This discipline covers established theoretical issues, models of computer network security and information protection, and security standards at various levels. Management and maintenance protocols for network security and information protection elements are examined in detail. The material covers basic and advanced aspects of building, configuring, and protecting computer networks, including theoretical models, protocols, and methods for detecting and countering cyber threats. The aim of the discipline is to provide students with a systematic understanding of the principles of building secure computer networks, the ability to apply modern technologies and security protocols, as well as practical skills in configuring equipment and detecting/eliminating cyber threats. Successful completion of the course requires: Understanding of the architecture and principles of computer network construction. Knowledge of network security standards, protocols, and models. The ability to identify and classify cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and attacks; Skills in configuring virtual local area networks (VLANs) and inter-VLAN routing; Experience in configuring access control mechanisms (Port Security), encrypted remote access (SSH), routing (OSPF), and VPN connections based on Cisco ASA; Ability to take a comprehensive approach to managing network infrastructure security and information protection.
