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.

During the Cisco CCNA Security course, you will learn about the creation, implementation and maintenance of an all-inclusive security policy by utilising Cisco IOS security features. The course will also teach students to implement security technologies and concepts using routers, switches and firewalls and how to configure site-to-site VPNs.
