Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use appropriate tools, equipment and software to implement an intrusion prevention system (IPS) on IPS sensors to mitigate network attacks.It applies to individuals with advanced information and communications technology (ICT) skills who are working as certified IPS specialists, network security specialists and network security managers.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the networking industry, and include access to: a site or prototype where network installation may be conducted relevant hardware and software organisational guidelines live network an IPS system and its sensors. Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements. |
