SC-345 --- Solaris[tm] OE Network Intrusion Detection

Overview

The Solaris Operating System Network Intrusion Detection course provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform the advanced administration skills required to firewall

Objectives

The Solaris Operating System Network Intrusion Detection course provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform the advanced administration skills required to firewall, monitor, log, identify and respond to network security breaches.

PreRequisites

  • Install, configure, and maintain a Solaris product line server
  • Install open source utilities like tcpdump and libpcap
  • Configure a Solaris NIC for LAN and Internet access
  • Have a firm understanding of the TCP/IP protocol stack and IP routing
  • Configuring Security on the Solaris 10 Operating System (SC-301-S10)
  • Configure Solaris logging daemons like syslog

Who Can Benefit

  • Experienced System Administrators and Security Administrators who are tasked with protecting Sun Solaris systems in a non-trusted environment such as the Internet or a LAN environment with multiple unknown/untrusted users
  • This course counts towards the Hands-on course requirement for the Oracle Solaris 10 Security Administrator Certification. Only instructor-led inclass or instructor-led online formats of this course will meet the Certification Hands-on Requirement. Self Study CD-Rom and Knowledge Center courses DO NOT meet the Hands-on Requi

Duration

5 Days
