Course Description
CCNA
Security introduces the core security concepts and skills needed to
install, troubleshoot, and monitor a network; allowing the engineer to maintain the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data and devices. The curriculum helps prepare students for entry-level security career opportunities and the globally recognized Cisco CCNA
Security certification, Implementing Cisco IOS Network Security (IINS) certification exam (640-554).
The Cisco CCNA Security curriculum provides a next step for individuals who want to enhance their CCNA-level skill set and help meet the growing demand for network security professionals. The curriculum provides an introduction to the core security concepts and skills needed for the installation, troubleshooting, and monitoring of network devices to maintain the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data and devices.
This course is a hands-on, career-oriented e-learning solution with an emphasis on practical experience to help students develop specialized security skills, along with critical thinking and complex problem solving skills, to advance their careers. CCNA Security is a blended curriculum with both online and classroom learning. Students who enroll in CCNA Security are
expected to have CCNA-level networking concepts knowledge and skills, along with basic PC and Internet navigation skills.
While there are no required course prerequisites, students are encouraged to complete the CCNA curricula to acquire the fundamental CCNA-level routing and switching skills needed
for success in this course. CCNA Security provides a next step for CCNA students who want to expand their CCNA-level skill set to prepare for a career in network security.
CCNA Security includes the following features:
- Students develop an in-depth, theoretical understanding of network security principles as well as the tools and configurations available.
- The courses emphasize the practical application of skills needed to design, implement, and support network security.
- Hands-on labs help students develop critical thinking and complex problem-solving skills.
- Packet Tracer simulation-based learning activities promote the exploration of networking security concepts and allow students to experiment with network behavior and ask "what if" questions.
- Innovative assessments provide immediate feedback to support the evaluation of knowledge and acquired skills.
- Configure ASA firewall device.
- Design and implement advanced ACL's and firewall configurations.

Course Booklets offer a new way for students to easily read, highlight, and review on the go, wherever the Internet is not available. The text is extracted directly from the online course, with headings that have exact page correlations to the online course. An icon system directs the reader to the online course to take full advantage of the images, labs, Packet Tracer activities, and dynamic Flash-based activities.

Certification
Cisco Certified Network Associate Security (CCNA® Security) validates associate-level knowledge and skills required to secure Cisco networks. With a CCNA Security certification, a network professional demonstrates the skills required to develop a security infrastructure, recognize threats and vulnerabilities to networks, and mitigate security threats. The CCNA Security curriculum emphasizes core security technologies, the installation, troubleshooting and monitoring of network devices to maintain integrity, confidentiality and availability of data and
devices, and competency in the technologies that Cisco uses in its security structure.
