Network Security Concepts (N10-009)

Welcome to the Network Security Concepts Practice Lab. In this module, you will be provided with the instructions and devices needed to develop your hands-on skills.

Network security concepts encompass a range of strategies and technologies aimed at safeguarding data transmission and communication within networks. Alongside these measures, employing full disk and file encryption techniques ensures data confidentiality and integrity. Full disk encryption secures the entire contents of a storage device, rendering it unreadable without the appropriate decryption key. Similarly, file encryption selectively encrypts individual files or folders, offering granular control over data protection.

In this module, you will explore full disk and file encryption with a Linux machine.
