Network Design: Security

This is a 1-credit Unit intended for candidates who require a detailed knowledge of secure network design. It is designed to develop an understanding of the issues involved designing a secure computer network. On completion of the Unit you should be able to:

• Create the conceptual design for network infrastructure security.
• Create the logical design for network infrastructure security.
• Create the physical design for network infrastructure security.
• Design an access control strategy for data.
• Create the physical design for client infrastructure security.

In the first part of the course, you'll learn how to create the conceptual design for network infrastructure security. This includes analysing business requirements for designing security, designing a framework for designing and implementing security and analysing technical constraints when designing security.

The second section covers creating the logical design for network infrastructure security, including designing a public key infrastructure (PKI) that uses Certificate Services, designing a logical authentication strategy, designing security for network management and designing a security update infrastructure.

The third section is about creating the physical design for network infrastructure security. You'll learn how to design network infrastructure security, design security for wireless networks, design security for a web server, design security for communication between networks and design security for different server roles.

The fourth section covers designing an access control strategy for data. You'll learn how to design an access control strategy for directory services, design an access control strategy for files and folders and design an access control strategy for the registry.

The final section covers creating the physical design for client infrastructure security. You'll learn how to design a client authentication strategy, design a security strategy for client remote access and design a strategy for securing client computers.

There will be a closed-book multiple-choice assessment covering all outcomes. You will be presented with a total of 30 questions and expected to answer 70% of these correctly.
