The HPE Aruba Networking Associate Network Security certification covers topics like foundational network security concepts, common security threats, hardening Aruba devices, network authentication methods, role-based access control, implementing basic firewall policies, threat detection mechanisms, log collection and analysis, and securing both wired and wireless networks using Aruba solutions, all focused on creating a trusted network infrastructure with HPE Aruba Networking mobility solutions and switches.
Key areas covered in the exam:
-
Security Fundamentals:Understanding core security concepts like the CIA triad (confidentiality, integrity, availability), common security threats (malware, phishing, DoS attacks), and vulnerabilities.
-
Device Hardening:Configuring security settings on Aruba switches and wireless access points to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
-
Network Authentication:Implementing different authentication methods like 802.1X, RADIUS, and Active Directory to control user access.
-
Access Control:Utilizing role-based access control (RBAC) to restrict user privileges based on their role and function.
-
Firewall Policies:Creating and managing basic firewall rules to filter traffic and protect the network perimeter.
-
Threat Detection:Understanding and implementing basic threat detection mechanisms like intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) and anomaly detection.
-
Log Management:Collecting and analyzing network logs to identify potential security incidents
-
Secure Wireless Networking:Implementing security features on Aruba wireless networks like WPA2/WPA3 encryption, and rogue AP detection
-
Dynamic Segmentation:Creating security zones based on user or device identity to isolate traffic and minimize lateral movement
-
Basic Troubleshooting:Identifying and resolving common network security issues
