CSCI 2040 — Introduction to Networking Protocols and Analysis
This class examines the basic principles of networking, transitioning from Transmission Control Protocol, User Datagram Protocol, Internet Control Message Protocol, and Internet Protocol (TCP, UDP, ICMP, and IP), network architecture, and the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model into network defense. Networks are essential for organizational success, and cybersecurity professionals must understand network processes, protocols, and administration. This course will focus on developing skills in creating network architecture, network administration, network analysis, and how to apply this knowledge to improve the network security posture through defense in depth.
