SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) is an important part of any security strategy. In this video, you’ll learn how a SIEM can be used to gather and report on syslog data from all of your infrastructure devices. << Previous Video: Access Points Next: Data Loss Prevention >> Most organization’s network. They will have switches,
Your wireless network requires as much security (or more) than your wired network. In this video, you’ll learn about access points, wireless security considerations, frequency use, and antenna coverage. << Previous Video: Load Balancers Next: SIEM >> In this video, we’re going to talk about wireless access points or WAPs. This is not the wireless
If you are securing a server farm, then you probably manage a group of load balancers. In this video, you’ll learn about active/active and active/passive load balancing. << Previous Video: Proxies Next: Access Points >> As the name implies, a load balancer is designed to take a load of traffic and distribute it across multiple
