Course Description
In this course, you will learn about how logical components of applications can affect network connectivity. We will discuss SSL certificates and how they affect different web applications and websites, as well as how to download certificates, identify bad certificates, and determine where to find new certificates.
You’ll learn how to properly configure a firewall to protect your network’s traffic without blocking out important sites or applications you want to remain available. We’ll also cover how troubleshoot any issues your firewall may be causing. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to properly diagnose any connectivity issues caused by software conflicts, discover the underlying cause, and determine the best means of addressing it.
