Introduction
This unit introduces students to fundamentals of distributed networked environments, primarily focusing on wired networks but students will examine some of the different approaches in wireless networks. It provides knowledge of internetworking standards and understanding of the networking architecture, technology and operation. This unit will provide students with an understanding of: OSI security architecture; common internet risks and requirements, principles, concepts and technologies in network security. Additionally students will be required to analyse and assess recent developments and future trends in IS security technologies related to networking.
