Mitigate security holes in your network

“

- [Dan] Hi and welcome, I'm Dan Lachance. Over the years, I've done IT work in the form of programming, network administration, teaching classes, and security auditing. And all too often, I've seen security holes that are easily mitigated. This course not only exposes you to PKI, SSL, and TLS, but it will also define how, and why specific configurations should and should not be used. So what will be covered in this course? We'll start by talking about Public Key Infrastructure and it's relationship to encryption, hashing, and digital signatures. We'll also demonstrate how to install and configure PKI solutions on the Windows and Linux platforms. We'll talk about Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, as well as Transport Layer Security, or TLS, which are used to secure network communications.
