Computer Networking and Infrastructure Security - BEng (Hons)

If you want to learn how to secure the computer networking infrastructures from hardware/software vulnerabilities and organised hacking through a Cisco and Palo Alto based skills-set then this an unparalleled engineering course. You'll learn prevention methods to both known and unknown attacks and the features of next generation firewalls including user identification, data/url filtering and denial of service prevention. The mitigations will be implemented and tested using Palo Alto next generation firewalls. This could be your first step towards you working as a Security Analyst within a Cybersecurity Operation Centre (SOC) and could see you begin your career in the exciting and growing field of cybersecurity operations.

Throughout this course you'll develop skills to become a cyber engineering professional. This means designing, managing and securing enterprise networks by implementing network and firewall security, installing secure wireless networks or taking on ethical hacking within a Cybersecurity Operation Centre (SOC).

The course is career-focused and vocational elements are integrated within the course content.

You will learn fundamental principles such as Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), routing and switching, before progressing to specialist technologies including firewalls and cyber security.

Addressing the skills-shortage in the area of intelligent hardware/software systems and applied robotics, this course offers better employment prospects through hands-on experience closely linked to industrial practices. You will have a range of stimulating optional modules to choose.
