Introduction to Network Security - Cyber Security Course 2025
Your network is the new battlefield. ⚔️ Now that you understand how networks work and how to build them, it's time to learn how to defend them. This video is your essential introduction to Network Security, where we translate theory into powerful defensive strategies used by professionals to stop cyber attacks before they happen.
In this video, you will learn:
• The Core Goals of Network Security: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) in action.
