Cisco CCNP Security Certification Training Course

Course Overview

The Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Security Certification Training Course with Accumentum is designed for security professionals aiming to master Cisco’s security technologies in enterprise environments. This course offers an in-depth exploration of core security principles, including network, cloud, and endpoint security. Participants will learn to implement, operate, and troubleshoot Cisco security solutions through hands-on labs and real-world scenarios. The training prepares individuals for the SCOR (Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies) core exam and one of several concentration exams such as SVPN (Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower Next-Generation Firewall), SISE (Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine), or SSNGFW (Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower Next-Generation IPS). This certification not only validates your skills in designing and deploying secure architectures but also equips you to handle the complexities of modern cybersecurity landscapes.

Course Objectives

Understand and deploy advanced security configurations across network devices, emphasizing Cisco’s security solutions like Firepower, ISE, and ASA.
Gain expertise in identifying, mitigating, and responding to security threats through tools like Cisco Umbrella, AMP for Endpoints, and Stealthwatch.
Learn to configure and manage Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) for robust identity-based security policies, including 802.1X, MAB, and SGT.
Develop skills to secure cloud infrastructures and endpoints using Cisco’s cloud security solutions and endpoint protection strategies, ensuring comprehensive security coverage across different deployment models.

Who Should Attend

Professionals focused on designing, implementing, and managing secure network architectures who wish to expand their knowledge and certification in Cisco security technologies.
