(Formerly ITB262) This course introduces students to the fundamentals of planning, installing, maintaining and troubleshooting a network supported by unbound media. It is assumed that students have no prior knowledge of wireless networks and devices. Hence, this course permits students to learn how to apply and support wireless technology in personal, LAN, MAN, CAN, and WAN networks. The course is divided into two sections, one that teaches the wireless skills required to take and pass your Certified Wireless Network Administration (CWNA) exam and the other educates students on how many different wireless devices work. Prerequisite: Introduction to Networking (CIT162).

(Formerly ITB264) The goal of this course is to provide you with a fundamental understanding of network security principles and implementation. You will learn about the technologies used and principles involved in creating a secure computer networking environment. You will learn about the authentication, the types of attacks and malicious codes that may be used against your network, the threats and countermeasures for e-mail, Web applications, remote access, and file and print services. A variety of security topologies are discussed as well as technologies and concepts used for providing secure communications channels, secure internetworking devices, and network medium. Further, you will learn about intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and physical networking security concepts. In addition, security policies, disaster recovery, and computer forensics are covered. Aside from learning the technologies involved in security, you will get to understand the daily tasks involved with managing and troubleshooting those technologies. You will have a variety of hands-on and case project assignments that reinforce the concepts you read in each chapter. Prerequisite: Introduction to Networking (CIT162).
