It includes access control and authentication systems as well as planning and implementation for wireless network security. A variety of client and network operating systems will be used. This course assumes a prerequisite knowledge of network operating systems and introductory security concepts. A major network security project is a requirement of the course and will be presented in written and oral formats.
