Computer and Network Security - A Multidimensional Approach Who should attend: System administration staff or IS managers who need to know what technologies exist beyond firewalls and antivirus systems. The Internet, and its use, has grown dramatically over the past 10 years. What used to be a community "where everybody knows your name" has become a world wide web of millions of users touching nearly every country on the planet. Because of the Internet revolution, security is now recognized as essential, computer and network security is becoming ubiquitous, security perimeters are becoming dynamic, and the paradigms for security that were established a few short years ago must metamorphose in order to meet the challenges of these changes. Topics include:
In the beginning, there were no firewalls. But just as the change of a community from small town to city brings changes in lifestyle, the growth of the Internet has required changes in network security mechanisms and methods. We've moved from defensive solutions, to the need for enabling solutions. This course will give an overview of a multidimensional model for security.
