Certified in Cybersecurity (CC): Networking & Security Infrastructure

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Although new security practitioners can come from development, database, or other backgrounds, the majority of security professionals come from a networking background. It is virtually impossible to separate networking knowledge from security expertise. Begin this course by exploring network types, network devices, and device addressing mechanisms. Then you will discover the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) and Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) reference models, logical ports, and the TCP handshake. Next, you will focus on transport layer security (TLS) and IP security (IPsec). Finally, you will examine virtual LANs (VLANs) and Wi-Fi fundamentals. This course prepares learners for the (ISC)2 Certified in Cybersecurity exam.
