Network security has to balance the demand to make the network available with the need to keep data and information secure. Network security professionals have to stay up to date with attacks and mitigation techniques. This includes maintaining awareness of the organizations that track and report on trending threats.

Since CCP is used extensively throughout the labs, it is critical that all students perform this lab. This is also a good time for students to practice basic configuration and cabling. If you are short on time or equipment, pre-configure Part 1 of the lab and have students focus on Parts 2 and 3. The lab for Chapter 1 is a research lab and could be extended beyond this chapter.

Like their biological counterparts, computer viruses can spread rapidly and self- replicate systematically. They also mimic living viruses in the way they must adapt through mutation to the development of resistance within a system: the author of a computer virus must upgrade his creation in order to overcome the resistance (antiviral programs) or to take advantage of a new weakness or loophole within the system.

Discuss the effects on an organization’s credibility after a hacking incident. Discuss the employment opportunities for security professionals and the long term outlook. Have students browse online job sites to get an idea of the requirements for security related jobs. Discuss various certifications. Students may be tempted to download some of the applications mentioned in the chapter. Be sure to discuss with them your own organization’s policy and the expectations your have for their use of the network.

Students may find it interesting to research these incidents with a better understanding of the types of network attacks. It is important that students understand that network security is ever evolving. To better understand this, have them follow a security news website or blog for a week Have students update the anti-virus software on their personal computers. For those who do not have anti-virus software, discuss no-cost options.
