Learn how networks are actually built, connected and defended. From wiring a LAN to configuring routers and switches, through to the security fundamentals that keep a network safe from real threats.
IBTC's Networking & Security program starts with the fundamentals every IT technician needs: how devices talk to each other, how IP addressing works, and how to physically build and wire a local network.
From there you'll configure real routers and switches, design small networks that actually work, and learn the security fundamentals — firewalls, VPNs, and safe network practices — needed to keep those networks protected.
How data moves between devices — IP addressing, subnetting, and the OSI model in practice.
Building and wiring a LAN — cabling standards, patch panels, and physical topology.
Configuring real routers and switches to connect and manage a network.
Setting up and securing Wi-Fi networks for homes, offices and campuses.
Firewalls, VPNs, access control, and the common attacks that target networks.
Diagnosing and fixing real connectivity problems using proper tools and method.
Design, build and secure a small network from scratch, end to end.
