About Network Security

Today’s organizations are challenged with responding rapidly to emerging network security threats. Security personnel configures and monitor various network security threat mitigation measures, such as device hardening, intrusion prevention systems, and firewalls, to protect data assets and network systems from attack. The purpose of this course is to provide skills and knowledge in the field of network security.

The Network Security course is designed for Cisco Networking Academy students who are seeking career-oriented, entry-level network security skills. Target students include individuals enrolled in technology degree programs at institutions of higher education and IT professionals who want to pursue a career in the network security field. Learners in this course are exposed to the foundational knowledge required to respond to network security threats through various threat mitigation measures.

Network 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.
  • – Can be delivered in-person or in a blended distance learning (BDL) environment
