The cybersecurity Cloud Labs for Network Security, Firewalls, and VPNs provide fully immersive mock IT infrastructures with live virtual machines and real software, where students will learn and practice the foundational information security skills they will need to excel in their future careers.
Unlike simulations, these hands-on virtual labs reproduce the complex challenges of the real world, without putting an institution’s assets at risk. The cybersecurity Cloud Labs are an essential tool for mastering key course concepts through hands-on training.Labs:
- Lab 1: Assessing the Network with Common Security Tools
- Lab 2: Defending the Network from a Simulated Attack
- Lab 3: Designing a Secure Network Topology
- Lab 4: Configuring the Windows Defender Firewall
- Lab 5: Configuring Firewall Interfaces with pfSense
- Lab 6: Monitoring and Logging Network Traffic
- Lab 7: Configuring Custom Firewall Rules with pfSense
- Lab 8: Configuring a VPN Server with pfSense
