Presentation
Training with preparation for the Cisco CCNP Security and Cisco CCIE Security certifications
As cyberthreats become more sophisticated and working environments diversify, securing IT infrastructure has become a top business priority. Ensuring data confidentiality, integrity and availability requires a holistic security approach covering physical networks, user endpoints and cloud architectures.
This Cisco SCOR course develops the essential skills to configure, administer and troubleshoot Cisco core security solutions. It provides a comprehensive view of modern protection technologies and prepares you to implement robust, resilient network security policies.
By the end of the course, you will be fully prepared to pass the 350-701 SCOR certification exam, which is included in our offer (see the Certification tab for details). Passing earns the Cisco Certified Specialist Security Core badge and fulfils the mandatory core requirement for the higher-level CCNP Security and CCIE Security credentials.
Objectives
By the end of this Cisco SCOR course, you will be able to:
- Describe fundamental security concepts and the main types of modern cyberthreats.
- Implement wired and wireless network security solutions, including next-generation firewalls and IPS.
- Secure cloud-hosted architectures and applications.
- Configure content protection for email and web browsing.
- Deploy advanced endpoint protection against malware.
- Manage network access visibility and control through Cisco identity solutions.
- Prepare for and pass SCOR 350-701 to earn Cisco Certified Specialist Security Core and complete a key step towards CCNP and CCIE certification.
