CCNA Security (IINS) Course

Overview

CCNA Security Certification

The Cisco CCNA Security certification meets the needs of IT professionals who are responsible for network security including Security Administrators, Network Security Support Engineers and Network Security Specialists. The certification confirms your entry-level skills for developing a security infrastructure, recognizing threats and vulnerabilities to networks, and mitigating security threats. The CCNA Security designation validates skills including installation, troubleshooting and monitoring of network devices to maintain integrity, confidentiality and availability of data and devices that Cisco uses in its security infrastructure.

Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician certification is a pre-requisite to CCNA Security certification. The CCNA Security Certification course covers concepts from describing and listing mitigation methods for common network attacks, mitigation methods for Worm, Virus, and Trojan Horse attacks, describing the Cisco Self Defending Network architecture, securing Cisco routers using the SDM Security Audit feature, using the One-Step Lockdown feature in SDM to secure a Cisco router, securing administrative access to Cisco routers by setting strong encrypted passwords, securing administrative access to Cisco routers by configuring multiple privilege levels, securing administrative access to Cisco routers by configuring role based CLI and describing the features of TACACS+ and RADIUS AAA protocols to defining network based vs. host based intrusion detection and prevention and IPS technologies, attack responses, and monitoring options.

We are living in a time when data breaches are always in the news. This is why the CCNA Security certification is very important now. It is for IT professionals like security administrators and network security support engineers who have to keep their company’s assets safe.

Having this certification is not just good for your resume. It shows that you have the skills to build a security system, find threats and weaknesses, and stop attackers. When you learn how to install, troubleshoot, and monitor network devices, you make sure that all the data on a Cisco network is safe and secure.

Learn CCNA Security course

The CCNA Security course teaches you how to defend your network. We do not just talk about theory; we focus on ways to secure a business. You will learn how to:

Defeat Common Attacks: Find and stop worm, virus, and Trojan horse attacks using methods.
Secure Cisco Routers: Use the SDM Security Audit and One-Step Lockdown features to make your hardware safe.
Manage Access Control: Set up encrypted passwords, configure multiple privilege levels, and use Role-Based CLI to ensure that only the right people have access to the network.
Implement AAA Protocols: Learn about TACACS+ and RADIUS and how to use them for authentication and accounting.
Defend the Perimeter: Learn about network-based and host-based intrusion detection, choose the IPS technologies, and set up effective attack responses and monitoring.
