Advanced Cybersecurity

Description

In this lesson, students will learn about the evolution of internet connectivity and its impact on how people communicate, access information, and conduct business.

Objective

Students will be able to:

  • Describe the historical progression of internet technologies from dial-up to fiber optics
  • Compare and contrast major types of internet connectivity
  • Analyze how technological advancements in internet infrastructure influence modern society
Description

In this lesson, students learn about core networking concepts, including static vs. dynamic routing, common network topologies, and subnetting. Students engage in research, hands-on exploration, and design tasks to understand how networks are structured, routed, and segmented for efficiency and security.

Description

In this lesson, students explore how networks function through client-server models, intranet and extranet systems, and essential internet services like DNS, NAT, and DHCP. Students conduct research, complete creative submissions, and build visual illustrations to deepen their understanding of how these foundational technologies support online communication and connectivity.

Description

In this lesson, students will learn about networking services and how they interact to support secure, scalable infrastructure. Students will explore DHCP, DNS, Active Directory, and file sharing within a civic scenario.

Objective

Students will be able to:

  • Identify the roles of core network services (AD, DNS, DHCP, file sharing)
  • Analyze how these services support communication and security
  • Design a visual infrastructure map using network concepts
  • Explain interdependencies and security best practices in network design
Description

In this lab, students will explore Windows networking settings and how they can configure and customize their online experience.

Description

In this lab, students are introduced to CSMA/CD and CSMA/CA, two network protocols designed to manage data transmission and prevent or handle collisions on shared communication channels.

Description

In this lab, students will set up Remote Access using Windows Server’s Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) to turn a server into a router, enabling secure communication between networks. Students will also configure Routing Information Protocol (RIP) to support efficient data routing across a network.

Description

In this lesson, students complete a summative assessment of the module’s learning objectives.

Objective

Students will be able to:

  • Prove their knowledge of the information in the module through a multiple choice quiz
