CCNA Security

The Implementing Cisco Network Security (IINS) v3.0 e-learning course focuses on security principles and technologies using Cisco security products to provide examples.

It allows you to understand common security concepts and deploy basic security techniques utilizing a variety of popular security appliances within a “real-life” network infrastructure.

You will gain valuable hands on experience through extensive live lab exercises. The live labs utilize sophisticated topologies which include IOS routers, IOS switches, Cisco Adaptive Security Appliances and Windows and Linux hosts. The course includes many learning oriented discovery labs. The discovery labs not only show the learner what to do, but explain why the technologies are important and demonstrate the results of the implementations.

It also includes 10 challenge labs. The challenge labs offer the opportunity to the learner to demonstrate that they can apply the concepts learned in the discovery labs. The challenge labs provide scenario requirements and automated grading functions. You will earn badges upon successful completion of challenge labs and challenge exercises.

Upon completing this course, you will be able to meet these overall objectives:

• Describe common network security concepts, Secure routing and switching infrastructure, Deploy basic authentication, authorization and accounting services, Deploy basic firewalling services, Deploy basic site-to-site and remote access VPN services, Describe the use of more advanced security services such as intrusion protection, content security and identity management.
