Description

Introduction

As organizations increasingly adopt Network as a Service (NaaS) to provide flexible, on-demand networking, ensuring robust security and regulatory compliance becomes critical. NaaS environments introduce unique challenges, including multi-tenancy, cloud integration, and dynamic provisioning, which require specialized strategies for protecting data, controlling access, and meeting compliance standards.

This training provides participants with the knowledge and skills to implement security measures and compliance practices in NaaS deployments. It covers authentication and access control, encryption, threat detection, auditing, and regulatory frameworks relevant to cloud and hybrid network environments. Participants will also learn best practices for continuous monitoring and risk mitigation, ensuring that NaaS deployments remain secure and compliant while supporting scalability and automation.

Prerequisites

• Basic understanding of networking concepts (TCP/IP, routing, switching, LAN/WAN)

• Familiarity with NaaS, SDN, and network virtualization

• Understanding of cloud computing concepts (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS)

• Basic knowledge of cybersecurity principles and security tools

• Awareness of compliance standards (ISO, GDPR, HIPAA) is beneficial
