Question

Answer 1

HCC has designed a series of five specialized network security courses to enhance students' opportunities in the rapidly growing computer and Internet security fields. Network security has traditionally fallen on the shoulders of the Network Administrator. With technology growing at an ever-increasing rate, this tradition is falling short of protecting the vital data that resides throughout company networks. Hackers have infiltrated the very core of the computer world, have compromised Internet security, and have affected the lives of millions by disrupting company networks. These courses may stand alone for students who wish to update their skills in this important field, but they are also included in HCC's CompTIA's Security+ Certification program and in the Computer Science AA degree in Network Security and the Network Administration AAS degree in Network Security.

Securing and Auditing Network Systems
This course is designed to teach students how to properly secure critical network systems. In addition, students will be able to audit a network to determine where network weaknesses are before an attacker does.

These courses are offered in the popular 7 week (1/2 semester) format so a student may take two classes in one regular semester. Some of the courses are also offered in a full semester format for those students who want to take the training at a little slower pace.
