Join us for an exhilarating session on the fundamentals of networking that promises to be both educational and interactive! 🌐

Now that you know how networks are built, it’s time to learn how to protect them like a pro. Welcome to the second session of our networking series — and this one’s all about cyber defense! 🧱💻

We’re shifting gears into the security layer, where firewalls block threats, IDS/IPS detect intrusions, and VPNs keep communication private. You'll get hands-on with the tools that keep networks safe from real-world attacks.

👨‍💻 What you’ll do:

✅ Explore essential security devices: firewalls, IDS/IPS, UTM, and proxy servers

✅ Understand how VPNs and tunnels keep remote access secure

✅ See how ACLs and advanced firewall rules control network flow

✅ Compare Next-Gen Firewalls vs Traditional Firewalls

✅ Build a secure network architecture in Cisco Packet Tracer

✅ Learn how attackers bypass weak defenses — and how to stop them

🔐 Whether you're aiming for a career in cybersecurity, red teaming, or network admin, this session equips you with the defensive skills every modern network needs.

🎯 Expect practical demos, configuration walkthroughs, real-world examples, and plenty of “now this makes sense!” moments.

📦 Don’t just build networks — learn to defend them.
