Workshop Description and Goals

 

Attend the five-day Introduction to Network Security workshop July 12-16, 2010 at a cost of $500, at NTID/RIT in Rochester NY. The workshop will be held daily from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM.

 

This workshop will provide participants with the skills needed to monitor and control a network, validate and authorize data that enters and exits the network infrastructure, and maintain a secured network

infrastructure for Internet and area networks.
