Network security is any activity designed to protect the usability and integrity of your network and data. It includes both hardware and software technologies. Effective network security manages access to the network. It targets a variety of threats and stops them from entering or spreading on your network.
The video tutorial starts with the basics of network and scanning techniques. You will learn to search hosts and find open ports and services in a network.
