Hi everyone, my name is Joe Abraham, and welcome to my course,
Protocol Deep Dive: IPsec.
I'm currently a network security consultant and a Pluralsight course
author for both IT operations and security domains.
Are you trying to figure out the inner workings of your IPsec protection suite?
Do you want a more in-depth understanding of its functionality?
Well, in this course, we are going to teach you just that.
We'll help you understand IPsec from a packet level so
that you can know how it functions, what to do with it,
and why you need it.
Some of the major topics that we will cover include
IPsec building blocks and components, IKEv1 and its nuances,
IKEv2 and how it works, and IPsec for IPv6.
By the end of this course,
you'll know how to create some IPsec configurations and be able to
verify its functionality via packet captures.
Before beginning the course,
you should be familiar with common security threats and
basic network fundamentals and behavior.
From here,
you should feel comfortable experimenting with different IPsec
implementations and their configuration options based on what your
needs are and be able to interpret how the IPsec suite is functioning
based on the versions you're using.
I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn more about
the IPsec protocol suite and how it works with the Protocol Deep Dive: IPsec course, here at Pluralsight.
