Abstract
Effective cybersecurity education requires theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience to prepare students for real-world challenges . While foundational concepts are presented in textbooks, many lack practical applications, resulting in insufficient preparation for troubleshooting and securing complex network systems. Additionally, as cybersecurity tools rapidly evolve, educational resources must be continuously updated to support relevance. To address this issue, Mastering Enterprise Networks 2nd Edition is being developed as an updated and expanded replacement aimed at enhancing cybersecurity education . The new edition builds upon the first version, which served as a comprehensive guide to building, securing, and attacking enterprise networks. A hands-on learning approach is emphasized, with 50 lab-based chapters designed to reinforce theoretical knowledge through real-world applications. Security topics are examined from multiple perspectives, covering both fundamental and advanced concepts. including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and vulnerability scanning. By modernizing the textbook and integrating practical exercises, the gap between traditional cyber security instruction and real-world requirements is addressed. Students will be provided with both knowledge and the practical skills necessary to troubleshoot and defend enterprise networks effectively. With the cybersecurity landscape continuously evolving, Mastering Enterprise Networks 2nd Edition ensures that students are equipped with the latest tools and practices, allowing them to still be prepared for industry challenges.
