Security Measures and Intrusion Detection

Catalog description

This course is concerned with the collection of events from audit trails, network monitoring systems and intrusion detection systems, as well as developing a system to provide early warning of information attack. The class teaches students how to identify, exploit and secure well-known and little-known vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows and UNIX/Linux operating systems. Moreover, it explores common weaknesses in router and firewall installations. MATC strongly recommends that students complete ITSEC-124 and ITNET-161, or have the equivalent skills, prior to enrollment in this course.
