Introduction to Network Diagramming (SS107)

CISA is proud to offer the cybersecurity awareness webinar, Introduction to Network Diagramming (IR107).  We are excited to share this information with stakeholders across the federal enterprise and nationally. 

The target audience for this webinar are non-technical and beginning incident responders.

To protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of an agency’s network and the data contained therein, cybersecurity professionals must be able to identify their network enterprise accurately and completely. Network diagrams are essential and serve to help visualize what is on the network, how the overall network is structured, and how all the devices on the network are connected. Every organization should build and maintain current and accurate network diagrams to help manage their network architecture and ultimately determine how to best mitigate potential or realized risks and vulnerabilities.

This webinar includes the following information and more: 

• Importance of network diagrams: Students will learn the importance of creating and maintaining network topology diagrams. Students will also understand the importance of identifying data flows and storage, identifying remote access points and external connections, and network segmentation for security. 

• Key Guidance for organizations: CISA provides guidance on what to include in network diagrams.  

• Knowledge check: The course concludes with a brief knowledge check section to reinforce key concepts and takeaways.
