SNORT IDS/IPS Course Overview

SNORT IDS/IPS Course Overview

The SNORT IDS/IPS course is a comprehensive training program designed for individuals looking to deepen their understanding of network security and intrusion detection/prevention systems. This course offers a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical skills through its structured modules.

Starting with the basics of network security, learners will grasp the critical concepts of the CIA Triad, network threats, and common attack terminologies. It delves into the network architecture, detailing the roles of firewalls, DMZs, and the principles behind IDS and IPS systems.

Snort, as a focal point of the course, is explored in depth. Learners will understand its operating modes, such as inline and passive modes, and how to install Snort in different environments. Rule writing is a crucial skill taught, enabling participants to tailor Snort's detection capabilities to specific threats.

Hands-on labs reinforce the theory, where learners implement Snort as both an IDS and IPS, analyzing logs and fine-tuning the system to effectively block malicious traffic. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to deploy and manage Snort in real-world scenarios, ensuring robust network security.
