In this Instructor led course, we will introduce the components of the solution and the different t functionalities, each module in the application will be explained and its use case laid out.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to carry out vulnerability (authenticated and unauthenticated) scans on almost all IP based systems and analyze the results of the scan to eliminate false positives. The participants will learn to carry out risk based prioritization of findings and recommend compensating controls. This course will help the participants determine the security posture of their systems using Nessus and decide on the best course of action for remediation.

Audience:

• Infrastructure managers
• System administrators
• System Auditors
• System compliance officers
• vulnerability managers
• cybersecurity managers

Part Lecture, part discussion and hands on practice

Audience:

System Administrators and Network Administrators as well as anyone who is interested in defensive network security technologies.

The course is a profound training on OpenStack networking. It starts with the introduction to OpenStack and its architecture, then clarifies core OpenStack projects as Identity service (Keystone), Image service (Glance), Compute service (Nova), Block storage (Cinder) in order to describe the surroundings of the networks in OpenStack and mainly focus on Networking project (Neutron). Virtual network infrastructure is described and based on the Open Virtual Network project, Open vSwitch and OpenFlow. The goal of the course is to understand basic operations and architecture of OpenStack as well as to familiarize participants with various networking technologies behind OpenStack, extending information about OVN and underlying flows, resources and tools.

Customization options

The training can be contracted to 2 days, focusing on core aspects relevant for the customer. The training can be also extended regarding administrative, design, networking and/or troubleshooting topics concerning OpenStack deployments. It is possible to describe other underlying SDN solutions like Linux Bridge or OvS.

Varnish is a reverse proxy for content-heavy dynamic web sites. Unlike Squid, which was originally a client-side cache, or Apache and nginx, which are web servers, Varnish was designed as an HTTP accelerator. Varnish is focused exclusively on HTTP, unlike other proxy servers that support FTP, SMTP and other network protocols. Varnish is used by Wikipedia, The New York Times, Facebook and Twitter, among other high-profile websites.

In this course, participants will learn about Varnish's features and caching approach while practicing in the setup and configuration of a Varnish proxy on Linux. The course starts with a refresher on key networking principles, then digs into setup and configuration topics and moves steadily towards complex implementations. By the end of the training participants will understand when and where it makes sense to deploy Varnish and will have the necessary practice to deploy their own Varnish proxy solutions.

A 5 day practical networking course designed to familiarise students with Cisco IOS (version 12). The course details the key commands used to configure and secure Cisco routers and switches, and covers the CCNA syllabus - including wired and wireless LAN access.

Students will inter-connect networks by implementing static routes, distance-vector and link-state based dynamic routing protocols.

The devices will be configured to route traffic across LAN/VLAN//WAN boundaries, by encapsulating datagrams across serial data links using various WAN protocols, such as HDLC, Frame Relay, ISDN and PPP (with CHAP authentication). VLAN encapsulation/tagging will be via IEEE802.1Q/P.

Standard and Extended Access Control Lists will be configured and applied to router interfaces to filter traffic based on IP address and/or traffic type.

Students will configure static and dynamic NAT to route between private and public networks and cover the theory of Virtual Private Networks (VPN's)

Students will copy router configurations and IOS images to/from a TFTP Server. Privileged commands will be used to debug TCP/IP protocols to ensure proper operation of the routers. Students will also perform password recovery operations.

The course is primarily aimed at IP v4 but does give an overview of IP v6 addressing and covers migration from an IP v4 to an IP v6 network. Other protocols and technologies (VPN's / Wireless) may be demonstrated if time permits.

Course can be customised to precise requirements of customer.

Audience:

This course is suitable for anyone looking for a basic understanding of internetworking with Cisco devices and covers the CCNA syllabus.

Course is approximately 50% practical
