Introduction to Packet Capture and Intrusion Detection/Prevention

Introduction to Packet Capture and Intrusion Detection/Prevention SystemsNetwork traffic analysis and monitoring help distinguish legitimate traffic from malicious traffic.Network administrators must protect networks from intrusions. This can be done using tools and techniques that use past traffic data to determine what should be allowed and what should be blocked. In the face of constantly evolving threats to networks, network administrators must ensure their intrusion detection and prevention systems are able to analyze, monitor, and even prevent these advanced threats.In this project, you will research network intrusion and prevention systems and understand their use in a network environment. You will also use monitoring and analysis technologies in the Workspace to compile a Malicious Network Activity Report for financial institutions and a Joint Network Defense Bulletin for a financial services consortium.The following are the deliverables for this project:DeliverablesMalicious Network Activity Report: An eight- to 10-page double-spaced Word document with citations in APA format. The page count does not include figures, diagrams, tables, or citations.Joint Network Defense Bulletin: A one- to two-page double-spaced document.Labscreenshots for analysis
