CCNA Security (Cisco IOS Network Security - IINS)

Candidates for Certified Cisco Security Professional (CCSP) will now need only four exams (three required, one elective) with the introduction of the new CCNA Security as a prerequisite.

The Cisco Certified Security Professional Certification (CCSP) validates advanced knowledge and skills required to secure Cisco networks. CCSP is considered a tier 2 course equivalent in level to a CCNP Cisco Certified Network Professional (a routing and switching specialization), but with the emphasis on security. The CCNA Security course will prepare the student to take (640-553) IINS Implementing Cisco IOS Network Security.

The following are broad topics that will be covered in this course:

  • Secure Cisco routers
  • Implement AAA on Cisco routers using local router database and external ACS
  • Mitigate threats to Cisco routers and networks using ACLs
  • Implement secure network management and reporting
  • Mitigate common Layer 2 attacks
  • Implement the Cisco IOS firewall feature set using SDM
  • Implement the Cisco IOS IPS feature set using SDM
  • Implement site-to-site VPNs on Cisco Routers using SDM

Coming soon: New Cisco Certified Security Professional courses including 642-504 SNRS Securing Networks with Cisco Routers and Switches**
