Welcome to week 2 Welcome back! I'm so glad you're joining us. Previously, you were introduced to  incident detection and response. You may also remember learning about  networking from a previous course. To recap, you learned about  how devices talk to each other  using network protocols and the different types of network attacks. You also examined some network security best practices. Here, we'll expand on networking and  shift our focus to network analysis. First, you'll examine network communications by exploring network traffic flows. Next, you'll learn about viewing and capturing network traffic using packet sniffers. Then, you'll be introduced to packet analysis, where you'll examine packet fields and decode communication between devices and networks. As a security professional, you'll be tasked with monitoring networks and system infrastructure to detect malicious activities. And this section will provide you with the opportunity to develop your network and packet analysis skills. Are you ready to begin? Let's get started!
