CCNA SECURITY
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.
