Course Description

In today’s complex enterprise networks, Network Performance Monitoring has become crucial for network and security administrators, especially as network throughput exceeds 10 Gbps Ethernet. This course focuses on the significance of sophisticated network monitoring and analysis tools essential for fixing network issues, identifying threats, and addressing cybersecurity concerns.

Cisco Systems introduced Netflow technology as a pioneering solution. Netflow allows the aggregation of flow data from multiple records derived from individual packets flowing within a network. Initially designed as a network monitoring and analysis tool, Netflow has evolved into a powerful security visibility tool with incident response capabilities.

During this course, we delve deep into the Netflow and IPFIX specifications, examining their relevance not only in network monitoring but also in enhancing security visibility. Through comprehensive lessons and practical examples, you will gain an in-depth understanding of flow technology and its invaluable contributions to network performance optimisation and robust security practices.
