    Description
    This course is a hands-on study of methodologies used to analyze network traffic in order to identify intrusions. Emphasis is placed on the theoretical and practical analysis of network activity to deem if it is noteworthy or a false indication of breach. Topics include common application protocols, analyzing network behavior to detect breaches, strengths and limitations of intrusion detection systems (IDS) and other monitoring tools as well as visualizing data traffic to identify patterns and anomalies. This course is designed for students in the Cyber Defense and Analysis program.
