CCNA Security

• Verifies an individual’s skills in the following roles:

– Network Security Specialists– Security Administrators – Network Security Support

Engineers• Enables installation, troubleshooting

and monitoring of Cisco Security devices/technologies.

• Ability to administer security policies and identify risks in networks

• Serves as prerequisite for CCSP Certification

• Employers hiring individuals can feel confident their staff has the skills needed to install, troubleshoot and monitor Cisco security technologies.

CCNA Security Overview

• In-depth network security education • Comprehensive understanding of network security concepts• Hands-on knowledge and skills, emphasizing practical experience• For entry-level job roles in network security• Installation, troubleshooting and monitoring of network devices to

maintain integrity, confidentiality and availability of data and devices• Prepares students for CCNA Security certification (IINS 640-553 exam)

Benefits for Students
