Network Security

Welcome to course 4 of 5 of this Specialization, Network Security. In this course, we will look at computer networking and securing the network.

While most see computer networking as a positive, criminals routinely use the internet, and the networking protocols themselves, as weapons and tools to exploit vulnerabilities and for this reason we must do our best to secure the network.
