CCNA Course Content

Description

Cisco Certified Network Associate Security (CCNA Security) validates associate-level data and skills needed to secure Cisco networks. With a CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate Security )certification, a network expert demonstrates the abilities required to develop a security infrastructure, acknowledge threats and vulnerabilities to networks, and mitigate security threats. The CCNA(Cisco Certified Network Associate Security ) course of study emphasizes core security technologies, the installation, troubleshooting and observance of network devices to keep up integrity, confidentiality and availableness of data and devices, and competency within the technologies that Cisco uses in its security structure.
