For the last two weeks we discussed about Infrastructure Security where we will combine what we had learn in networking and security. But first we reviewed about the four factors on designing a network which are: Fault tolerance, which sets a back up incase there will be a problem in the connection or network, Quality of Service or also known as QoS which gives priority, while Scalability when there will be many users the network will adjust for it so there will be no problem and last but not the least Security which means, from the word itself, to secure the network.
We also discussed about some network design, where we should put the firewalls. I really got interested in this topic because this part of security is combined to my specialization which is computer networks. I learned a lot, specially the different types of firewalls which I though all firewalls are the same but I was wrong there are three types.
On our last meeting we had an activity where we should access the security of the other user while we are the admin, I admit that it is hard, good thing that our professor allows us to do it at home so we will have more time to do it.
