About Network Security
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
The unit spans core network defence. The mind maps include FIREWALLs, which defines a firewall as a device that filters traffic between a protected inside network and a less trusted outside one, and a map on Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting. Others break down IPsec, the Authentication Header, TLS components and the TLS handshake, Bluetooth security modes and wireless security.
The flashcard decks follow a Security+ style structure: TCP/IP and ports, network security devices, designing secure networks and managing secure networks, with decks on firewall rule management and switch configuration security.
Where to start
- Begin with a map such as Network Security Controls, Protocols, and Devices or defense in depth to get the overall picture.
- Move to flashcard decks on devices, such as firewalls, switches and routers, and VPN concentrators.
- Test yourself with a quiz such as CCNA Security Chapter 4 Exam, which asks you to reason about a packet reaching a Cisco firewall.
Using quizzes and maps together
Quizzes show what you cannot yet explain. Take one, note the questions you missed, then open the map on that topic. If CCNA Security 210-260 IINS - Exam 3 asks which command verifies phase 1 of an IPsec VPN, go to the IPsec and Encapsulating Security Payload maps and read how the pieces fit. Then return to the quiz.
For fundamentals, FIT3031 - Network Security Exam Practice checks whether you can tell symmetric encryption, asymmetric encryption and hash functions apart. Vendor-focused practice, such as Simulado NSE 4 (7.2) on FortiGate VPN access, suits those aiming at that certification.
Where it fits
This unit sits in the Network and Infrastructure Security strand of Cybersecurity. Its resources lean towards certification study, with CCNA, CCNA Security, CompTIA Security+, CEH, NSE 4, CCNP and CompTIA Network+ all mentioned, plus some GCSE Computer Science material.
Choose one topic, take a quiz, then make a map or deck of your own to fill whatever gaps remain.
Frequently asked questions
Which quiz should I try first?
If you want fundamentals, try FIT3031 - Network Security Exam Practice, which covers symmetric encryption, asymmetric encryption and hashing. If you are preparing for Cisco certification, CCNA Security Final Exam is a good opening, with questions on control plane protection and AAA.
What do the mind maps cover?
There are over 580 mind maps. They cover firewalls and firewall types, AAA, IPsec, the Authentication Header, TLS components and handshake, wireless and Bluetooth security, intrusion prevention, cryptographic systems and network threats. Some follow numbered lecture units, so you can work through them in order.
Which exams are these resources linked to?
The listed resources mention CCNA, CCNA Security, CCNP, CompTIA Security+, CompTIA Network+, CEH, NSE 4 and GCSE Computer Science. Many are community study sets rather than official papers, so use them for practice and check them against your own course materials.
Are the resources free, and who made them?
Yes. Every resource here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so style and depth vary. Browse a few in a topic and pick the ones that suit how you learn.
Who is this page for?
It suits university students and professional candidates, school students and teachers. Learners can revise by topic with quizzes, flashcards and maps. Teachers can pick ready-made material, such as the firewall maps or the flashcard decks on network devices, for classroom use.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Try nearby titles first. Firewalls, for example, appear in maps, flashcard decks and notes. If a topic is still missing, a free account lets you make your own quiz, mind map, flashcards or notes, so you can build exactly what you need.
