CASP, Part 3 of 9: Enterprise Storage and Host Security

Course description

Are you ready to learn about enterprise storage security? How about host security? This course will dive into the protocols for enterprise storage as well as the types of storage available, even in your small business or home office. We will examine the various methods of storage management and how to replicate data to allow for fault tolerance and disaster recovery. After discussing storage, we will focus on host security with an emphasis on anti-malware, host-based firewalls, and more. This course is part of a series covering the CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP).

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.

Prerequisites

This course assumes that you have familiarity with information technology, basic networking, and basic security concepts. No scripting or “hacking” experience is required. Having windows command line experience as well as having administrative rights on your machine will be helpful.
