Networks form the backbone of our digitally connected world. They also represent an entry point for cyberattacks.
In this module, we showed you the different types of network that exist, and how you’d connect to them. You learned the basics of network communication, and how data moves around a network of any size. Also, you looked at the many ways that a cybercriminal uses to try to break into a network, and the tools available to help you stop them.
