Cisco Security - CCNP Security

Introduction

Implementing Cisco Edge Control Solutions v1.0 is a newly created five-day instructor-led training course that is part of the curriculum path leading to the Cisco Certified Network Professional Security (CCNP© Security) Certification.

Additionally, it is designed to prepare security engineers with the knowledge and hands-on experience to prepare them to configure Cisco perimeter edge security solutions utilizing Cisco Switches, Cisco Routers, and Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Firewalls.

The goal of the course is to provide individuals with foundational knowledge and the capabilities to implement and manage security on Cisco ASA firewalls, Cisco Routers with the firewall feature set, and Cisco Switches.

Individuals will gain hands-on experience with configuring various perimeter security solutions for mitigating outside threats and securing network zones.

At the end of this course, delegates will be able to reduce the risk to their IT infrastructures and applications using Cisco Switches, Cisco ASA, and Router security appliance feature and provide detailed operations support for these products.
