CCSP (Cisco Certified Security Professional)

The CCSP certification validates advanced knowledge and skills required to secure Cisco networks. With a CCSP, a network professional demonstrates the skills required to secure and manage network infrastructures to protect productivity and reduce costs. The CCSP curriculum emphasizes secure VPN management, Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM), PIX firewall, Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA), Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), Cisco Security Agent (CSA), and techniques to combine these technologies in a single, integrated network security solution.

642-503 SNRS: Securing Networks with Cisco Routers and Switches

The Securing Networks with Cisco Routers and Switches exam is one of the exams associated with the Cisco Certified Security Professional certification. This exam includes simulations and tests a candidate's knowledge and ability to secure networks using Cisco routers and switches.

642-523 SNPA: Securing Networks with PIX and ASA

The SNPA course is a five-day, leader-led, lab-intensive course. The course takes a task-oriented approach to teaching the skills to configure, operate, and manage Cisco PIX Security Appliances and Cisco Adaptive Security Appliances

642-533 IPS: Implementing Cisco Intrusion Prevention System

Learn how Cisco IPS protects network devices from attacks. Given an IPS sensor appliance, the learner will install the appliance in the network and initialize it. Use IDM to configure basic sensor settings. The learner will use IDM to configure built-in signatures to meet the requirements of a given security policy. The learner will use IDM to tune and create signatures to meet the requirements of a given security policy.

642-552 SND: Securing Cisco Network Devices

It provides an opportunity to learn about a broad range of the components embedded in Cisco SAFE. Learners will recognize threats and vulnerabilities to networks and learn how to implement basic mitigation measures. The course provides an introduction to the Cisco products and solutions that form the basis of the Cisco security portfolio.

642-513 HIPS: Securing Hosts Using Cisco Security Agent

Securing Hosts Using Cisco Security Agent (HIPS) takes a task-oriented approach to teaching the skills to deploy, configure, and administer CSA to protect server and workstation hosts.
