COURSE DESCRIPTION

CCNA Security preparatory course equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to prepare for entry-level security specialist careers. This course is a hands-on, career-oriented e-learning solution that emphasizes practical experience. Various types of hands-on labs provide practical experience, including procedural and troubleshooting labs, skills integration challenges, and model building.

CCNA Security helps prepare students for the Implementing Cisco IOS® Network Security (IINS) certification exam (640-554) leading to the Cisco CCNA Security certification. With a CCNA Security certification, an individual demonstrates the skills required to develop a security infrastructure, recognize network threats and vulnerabilities, and mitigate security threats.

CCNA Security encourages students to explore networking concepts using tools such as Packet Tracer. Packet Tracer is a powerful network simulation tool developed by Cisco that allows students to experiment with network behavior and develop critical thinking, collaboration, and problem solving skills, while gaining practical knowledge.

COURSE OBJECTIVE:

Upon completion of the CCNA Security preparatory course, students will be able to perform the following tasks:

• Describe the security threats facing modern network infrastructures

• Secure network device access

• Implement AAA on network devices

• Mitigate threats to networks using ACLs

• Implement secure network management and reporting

• Mitigate common Layer 2 attacks

• Implement the Cisco IOS firewall feature set

• Implement an ASA

• Implement the Cisco IOS IPS feature set

• Implement site-to-site IPSec VPNs

• Administer effective security policies

          • Prepare for and pass CCNS Security examination at any Prometric or CISCO partner.
