CCSP
 The
Cisco Certified Security Professional Certification (CCSP) 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, mitigate
threats, and reduce costs. The CCSP curriculum emphasizes Cisco Router
IOS (ISR) and Catalyst Switch security features, Adaptive Security
Appliance (ASA), secure VPN connectivity, Intrusion Prevention Systems
(IPS), Cisco Security Agent (CSA), Security Enterprise and Device
Management, Network Admission Control (NAC) as well as techniques to
optimize these technologies in a single, integrated network security
solution. In addition, CCSP leverages the new CCNA Security
certification as a prerequisite.
The Cisco Certified Security Professional (CCSP) designation indicates
advanced knowledge of securing Cisco networks. With a CCSP, a network
professional can 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.
This new career certification provides professional-level recognition
in designing and implementing Cisco security solutions. Because these
security professionals understand major networking protocols,
procedures, and how to integrate security devices with the underlying
network, they are prepared to build secure networks that protect an
organization's IT investments.
Candidates for the CCSP are most likely to be actively involved in
developing business solutions and designing and delivering multiple
levels of security for underlying network architectures. They may work
in IT departments or security departments, or as systems integrators or
consultants. Through trained personnel, Cisco security certifications
help provide companies with a safety-net for e-commerce
infrastructures.
Candidates can prepare for certification exams via a suite of courses
offered by Ascolta including: - Instructor-led and e-learning courses
- Hands-on skills development in Internet-enabled remote labs
