Description
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to implement measures to secure internet protocol (IP) networked security equipment and systems to protect physical security systems from cyber threats. It includes confirming existing network arrangements, checking firewalls, network controls and protection levels, identifying vulnerabilities to cyber threats and implementing required controls to secure IP networked systems.The unit is suitable for those with basic skills and knowledge undertaking routine work tasks under the direction of more experienced workers.Licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to advising on, supplying, installing, maintaining, monitoring, repairing and servicing security equipment in some states and territories. For further information, check with the relevant regulatory authority.
