CATALOG DESCRIPTION
CSI 217
Hardening the Infrastructure
3 credit hours – Three hours weekly; one term.
Provides network administrators with an awareness of security-related issues and the essential skills they need to implement security in a
given network. This course deals directly with protective security technologies in today’s enterprise environments – transmission control
protocol (TCP) packet analysis, operating system (OS) hardening, router security, firewall systems, intrusion detection systems, virus
protection, virtual private networks (VPN), and disaster recovery. Lab fee $100.
Prerequisite: CSI 165 Network Security Fundamentals
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this course the student will be able to:
 Investigate advanced concepts and procedures related to the transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP)
 Work with the secure version of internet protocol (IP) and internet protocol security (IPSec)
 Secure Linux computers and networks
 Secure Windows 2000 computers and test the effectiveness of various security measures
 Secure routers by using access control lists and logging options
 Investigate measures that can help ensure business continuity in the event of a disaster, such as contingency planning and
power and backup issues
 Define common Internet components, and identify techniques used in web hacking and other attacks
 Examine and work with common techniques used to attach networks and specific operating systems
