Modification History

Release	Comments
Release 1	This version first released with ICT Information and Communications Technology Training Package Version 1.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

identify network service security vulnerabilities and appropriate controls

plan, design and configure a secure network authentication service

secure a wide range of network services to ensure server and data security, including:

dynamic name system (DNS)

web and proxy

mail

file transfer protocol (FTP)

firewall

implement cryptographic techniques

monitor the server for security breaches.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

explain auditing and penetration testing techniques

summarise best practice procedures for implementing backup and restore

outline cryptographic techniques

clarify the procedures for error and event logging and reporting

explain intrusion detection and recovery procedures

outline network service configuration, including:

DNS

dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP)

web

mail

FTP

server messages block (SMB)

network time protocol (NTP)

proxy

summarise network service security features, options and limitations

outline network service vulnerabilities

summarise operating system help and support utilities

describe planning, configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting techniques

outline security protection mechanisms

summarise security threats and risks

explain server firewall configuration

explain server monitoring and troubleshooting tools and techniques, including network monitoring and diagnostic utilities

summarise user authentication and directory services.

Assessment Conditions

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the networking industry, and include access to:

a site where server installation may be conducted

relevant server specifications

cabling

networked (LAN) computers

server diagnostic software

switch

client requirements

WAN service point of presence

workstations

relevant regulatory documentation that impacts on installation activities.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
