Cisco Certification Training

Cisco Certified Security Professional (CCSP) Program

Securing Networks with Cisco Routers and Switches (SNRS)

Previous name - SECUR v1.1 SNRS 1.0 is a 5 day, leader-led, lab-intensive course, which will be delivered by Cisco Learning Partners (CLPs). This course is aimed at providing network specialists with the knowledge and skills needed to secure Cisco IOS router and switch networks. Successful graduates will be able to secure the network environment using existing Cisco IOS and CatOS security features, configure the three primary components of the Cisco IOS Firewall Feature set (context-based access control (CBAC), intrusion prevention, and authentication proxy), implement secure tunnels(VPNs) using IPSec technology, and implement basic access switch security. In addition, they will complete a security audit using functions embedded in Cisco Security Device Manager

Securing Networks with PIX and ASA (SNPA)

The SNPA course is a five-day, leader-led, lab-intensive course. The course takes a task-oriented approach to teaching the skills to configure, operate, and manage Cisco PIX 500 Series Security Appliances and Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances.

Implementing Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)

Given an example of Cisco's defense in depth, the learner will explain how Cisco IPS protects network devices from attacks. Given an IPS sensor appliance, the learner will install the appliance in the network and initialize it. Use IDM to configure basic sensor settings. The learner will use IDM to configure built-in signatures to meet the requirements of a given security policy. The learner will describe the functions of signature engines and their parameters. The learner will use IDM to tune and create signatures to meet the requirements of a given security policy. Given a scenario, the learner will use IDM to tune a sensor to work optimally in the network. Given a scenario, the learner will use the Monitoring Center for Security and Cisco Threat Response to maximize alarm management efficiency. The learner will explain blocking concepts and use IDM to configure blocking for a given scenario. The learner will install the NM-CIDS in a router and initialize it. The learner will install the module in a Cisco Catalyst 6500 Switch and initialize it. The learner will use a Cisco Catalyst 6500 Switch to capture network traffic for intrusion prevention analysis. The learner will install and recover the sensor software image and perform service pack and signature updates. The learner will use the CLI and IDM to verify system configuration.

Securing Hosts Using Cisco Security Agent (HIPS) (3Day)

Securing Hosts Using Cisco Security Agent (HIPS) takes a task-oriented approach to teaching the skills to deploy, configure, and administer CSA to protect server and workstation hosts.

Securing Cisco Network Devices (SND)

SND  is a five-day, leader-led course which will be delivered by Cisco Learning Partners (CLPs). This course is an entry level network security course offered as a pre-requisite to the Cisco Qualified Specialist curriculum. It provides an opportunity to learn about a broad range of the components embedded in Cisco SAFE. Learners will recognize threats and vulnerabilities to networks and learn how to implement basic mitigation measures. The course provides an introduction to the Cisco products and solutions that form the basis of the Cisco security portfolio. Learners will be able to perform basic task to secure network devices at Layers 2 and 3 using command line interface and web-based GUIs. Devices include routers, switches, access control servers, IPS sensors and VPN Concentrators.
