Course overview

CCNA Security equips teachers with the knowledge and skills needed to prepare for entry-level security specialist careers. This course is a hands-on, career-oriented e-learning solution that emphasizes practical experience. It is a blended curriculum with both online and classroom learning. CCNA Security aims to develop an in-depth understanding of network security principles as well as the tools and configurations required to secure a network. Various types of hands-on labs provide practical experience, including procedural and troubleshooting labs, skills integration challenges, and model building. All hands-on labs in the course can be completed on actual physical equipment or in conjunction with the NDG NETLAB+ solution. Most chapters include Packet Tracer-based skills integration challenges that are cumulative throughout the course.

Who is this course for

CCNA Security helps teachers develop the skills needed for entry-level network security career opportunities and prepare for the CCNA Security certification. It provides a theoretically rich, hands-on introduction to network security, in a logical sequence driven by technologies. The goals of CCNA Security are as follows:

  1. Provide an in-depth, theoretical understanding of network security
  2. Provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to design and support network security
  3. Provide an experience-oriented course that employs industry-relevant instructional approaches to prepare students for entry-level jobs in the industry

Enable students to have significant hands-on interaction with IT equipment to prepare them for certification exams and career opportunities Upon completion of the CCNA Security course, students will be able to perform the following tasks:

  1. Explain network threats, mitigation techniques, and the basics of securing a network
  2. Secure administrative access on Cisco routers
  3. Secure administrative access with AAA
  4. Implement firewall technologies to secure the network perimeter
  5. Configure IPS to mitigate attacks on the network
  6. Describe LAN security considerations and implement endpoint and Layer 2 security features
  7. Describe methods for implementing data confidentiality and integrity
  8. Implement secure virtual private networks
  9. Implement an ASA firewall configuration using the CLI
  10. Implement an ASA firewall configuration and VPNs using ASDM
  11. Test network security and create a technical security policy
