IT Skills Networks and Telecommunications Networking Fundamentals CompTIA Network+ N10-008

Network security is the practice of protecting and preventing unwelcome access attempts to computer networks. In this course, youâll learn about network hardening techniques and best practices. Youâll learn to secure networks and about wireless authentication and authorization features.

Youâll examine remote access methods and security considerations, VPN solutions, and the benefits of using virtual network computing and virtual desktop solutions. Youâll learn about remote authentication and authorization considerations and how to implement out-of-band management.
