Advanced Cisco Security Training (ACST)



Who Should Attend

CCSP qualified professionals or individuals working in an environment that includes the implementation and support of Cisco’s security appliances.


Prerequisites

CCSP certification or equivalent knowledge.


Course Objectives

The course delves deep into appropriate security technologies to compliment the working environment and pressures of the modern security engineer through theory and lab reinforcement.


Course Content

The first three days of this 4 day course will include theory and lab reinforcements. The final day will feature an enhanced lab where delegates will implement a complete security solution for given customer requirements. Delegates can then penetration test to validate configuration.
