From this introduction to intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS), students will develop a solid foundation for understanding IDPS and how they function. This course will give students a background in the technology of detecting network attacks. It will introduce all the concepts and procedures used for IDPS. Students will have hands-on experience with implementing and configuring software-and hardware-based IDPS in a network infrastructure. This course is designed with a network administrator in mind. A student with a fairly extensive background in network administration or a computer professional with an MCSE or equivalent would have adequate background knowledge for waiver.
