Focus and Features
In this two-day seminar you will review the basics of LANs, WANs, client/server and other forms of distributed computing architectures. You will survey the security and audit features of network operating systems, interconnection devices, remote access methods, and add-on security products. You will also map the use of security features to security policy requirements to determine the topics that must be addressed in developing security administration standards and procedures, and designing self-assessment plans. You will receive security and audit checklists at the end of each control-related section.
