Protecting servers from threats means protecting the surrounding IT ecosystem. This involves configuring the appropriate network security protocols correctly and deploying threat detection solutions.
Begin by exploring how transport layer security (TLS) supersedes secure sockets layer (SSL) and how it is used to encrypt and authenticate network transmissions. Discover how to disable SSL and enable TLS on Windows and Linux servers. Enable an HTTP binding for an on-premises and cloud-based web app and examine how IPsec is used to secure network traffic, and how IPsec is configured in Windows. Moving on, learn how to spoof network traffic using freely available tools and work with intrusion detection, intrusion prevention, and VPNs.
Upon completion, you'll know how to configure network security protocols such as TLS and IPsec and be familiar with working with intrusion detection systems and VPNs. This course is part of a collection that prepares you for the CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 certification exam.
