| About The Provider |
Alison is one of the world’s largest free
learning platforms for education and skills training. It is a for-profit social
enterprise dedicated to making it possible for anyone, to study anything,
anywhere, at any time, for free online, at any subject level. Through our
mission we are a catalyst for positive social change, creating opportunity,
prosperity, and equality for everyone. Alison was founded in Galway, Ireland, in 2007
and has grown organically to become a major force in free online education and
skills training. Today, with more than 13 million learners in 195 countries,
Alison is changing how the world learns and up-skills. They are committed to equality and access to
education and skills training irrespective of gender, geography, economic
status or any other barriers that can so often stunt potential. So they offer a
range of free courses that meet the many diverse needs of our learners. The UN
declared in Article 26 of the 1946 Declaration of Human Rights that “Education
shall be free…”. This statement will always inspire us. Alison was founded by Alison CEO, Mike Feerick. Mike is a businessman, but one with a
difference. He believes in social impact, and that you can build a financially
successful business focused on meeting a huge global social need, making
education and skills training more accessible for everyone. He invites anyone
who believes that too, to support the Alison mission.
Alison is free of charge to you. But it’s still
a business – albeit a socially-focused one. We are a social enterprise making
our money through advertising, merchandise, and the sale of Certificates and
Diplomas, should a graduate choose to buy one. |
A firewall protects a computer or network from network-based attacks and filters data packets traversing the network. This course will first discuss network security and introduce you to the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model and the three generations of firewalls. You will then look into the function of the Network Access Protection (NAP), Intrusion Detection System (IDS), and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). This course will also discuss the Virtual Private Network (VPN), the Internet Protocol Security (IPsec), the Secure Socket Layer (SSL), and the DNS Security Extension (DNSSEC).
Malware is a malicious software designed to infiltrate or affect a computer system. This course will discuss malware's association with viruses, worms, trojan horses, spyware, rootkits, and dishonest hardware. You will also learn how to protect your computer system, email, and server against malware. The course will then discuss the User Account Control (UAC), the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA), and how the Internet Explorer divides a network into four content zones.
A firewall is a piece of software or hardware that filters all incoming and outgoing traffic to your computer system or network. Upon the completion of this course, you will have gained a better understanding of the different malicious software that can attack a firewall.
