Objective:

Learning Outcomes:

• Differentiate between the basic administrative concepts, structure, and internal processes of Windows and Linux operating systems given virtual simulations.
• Select the type of data transmissions for the appropriate networking protocol to manage an established network using a variety of job aids.
• Determine the best cybersecurity defense practices to meet common security standards given a scenario in a virtual system.
• Summarize basic features and functions for Windows/Linux internal systems.
• Summarize the common features and functions of embedded systems.
• Summarize basic security considerations and impacts for embedded systems.
• Demonstrate the basic steps to provision and create snapshots of virtual machines.
• Summarize key concepts of virtual machine technologies.
• Configure a Linux VM on a Windows OS.
• Explain the tools and functions employed in network systems management (for example, end-to-end systems performance monitoring).
• Compare different types of network communications (for example, WAN and LAN), their bandwidths, functions, and associated equipment.
• Describe the structure and methods of data communication across a computer network (for example, Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol [TCP/IP] model and Open Systems Interconnection [OSI] model).
• Choose the appropriate steps to satisfy STIG compliance specifications on a network segment.
• Characterize components of a modern wireless communications network (for example, cellular, satellite, and GSM).
• Classify common encryption algorithms.
• Summarize the components of data communications (for example, networking protocols, Ethernet, IP, encryption, optical devices, and removable media).
