Become Cyber Security Analyst Journey β€” Day 4: Diving into Network Protocols and Security! πŸŒπŸ”’

Hey everyone! πŸ‘‹ Today was all about diving into network protocols and security concepts. I had a very productive day and spent time reinforcing what I learned previously! πŸ’ͺ✨

Learning About Network Protocols πŸŒπŸ“š

I kicked off the day by delving into the foundational elements of network communication. Understanding the workings of the TCP/IP model helped me grasp how data transmission occurs. πŸ’»πŸ’¨ Reviewing each layer of the OSI model made it easier for me to comprehend the communication processes. These insights are crucial as I progress in my journey toward becoming a Cyber Security Analyst! πŸš€πŸ”

Exploring Subnetting and CIDR πŸš€πŸ“Š

I also focused on subnetting and CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing). Subnetting simplifies network management by breaking down networks into smaller segments. πŸ—‚οΈβœ¨ Meanwhile, CIDR provided me with valuable information on IP addressing methods. Understanding these two concepts is vital for managing networks securely and efficiently. πŸ”πŸ“ˆ Revisiting complex terminology helped solidify my knowledge! πŸ”„πŸ€“

Understanding Security Zones and Firewalls πŸ”’πŸ›‘οΈ

Additionally, I learned about the critical concepts of security zones and firewalls in network security. 🏰✨ Security zones create a framework to safeguard different components within a network. Firewalls act as protective barriers between internal and external networks. πŸš§πŸ”’ By combining these topics, I developed a more comprehensive understanding of how to protect networks effectively! 🌍πŸ’ͺ

Writing and Sharing My Insights! πŸ“πŸ’‘

At the end of the day, I was inspired to share my newfound knowledge through four Medium posts! πŸ–ŠοΈπŸ“– Writing helped me clarify my thoughts while also providing a way to share information with others. Here are my latest articles:
