====== LKNOG 8 Workshops ======


LKNOG8 host the following three workshop tracks.

----


===== Network Security =====


The objective of this workshop is to examine the concepts, protocols and the policies involved in establishing and maintaining security for a network. The workshop includes Cryptography fundamentals, VPN, Access control, Packet analysis, DDoS, Intrusion Detection, RPKI and Routing Security.

On completion, you will be able to discover security vulnerabilities across a network and be able to architect and configure your network for maximum security while also being able to monitor for any malicious activities in your network. The Hands-on labs are used to enhance understanding and familiarity about device and network infrastructure security.


==== Workshop Topics ====

The workshop will be a combination of theory and lab. The course will cover the following:


      * Network Security Fundamentals
