What is Network Security?
Network Security is building networks with a security mindset. It demonstrates your ability to set up, maintain, and secure different types of networks. We will be using the CCNA Security training guide as our manual. We will also refer to other vendor solutions as we progress through the course.
Introduction
This 5-day course concentrates on Cisco technology and some other providers (like Fortinet and Palo Alto). This course will prepare you for the CCNA Security exams.
Delegates will learn how to install, operate, and configure a basic IPv4 and IPv6 network and become familiar with Cisco networking devices.
CCNA Security is a highly sought-after associate certification for network engineers, administrators, or specialists.
Prerequisite
There are no prerequisites, but we recommend candidates have the following:
- Basic computer literacy
- Basic PC operating system navigation skills
- Basic Internet usage skills
- Basic IP address knowledge
Who Should Attend
We recommend this course for anybody looking for a career in IT or looking to achieve Networking certification.
Course Structure
The course is a five-day classroom-based training, including hands-on experience with Cisco networking products.
