Anyone who spent late nights playing video games in their friend’s dorm remembers the joys of setting up a local-area network (LAN) in the days before Wi-Fi. While setting up multiple LANs made for a fun night of gaming with friends, setting up multiple networks on a single router offers a number of vital benefits to today’s businesses and IT professionals.

This course, among the first to market, is designed to provide a foundational knowledge-base and skill set for professionals to become an asset to their current organizations as a security analyst, or to become an effective member of a security team involved in offensive security testing and vulnerability assessments.
