Course description
In this course, we will be overviewing different types of firewalls and IDS/IPSes, including an in-depth look at the history of firewalls, deployment of firewalls and the features of next-generation firewalls. We also discuss firewalls as a defense-in-depth strategy, not as a device to set and forget. After that, we discuss the difference between IDSes and IPSes and some of the leading network security devices being used in the industry today.
