Cisco DESGN 2.1: Security Solutions for the Network

Overview/Description
The Cisco SAFE architecture provides the security design guidelines for building secure and reliable network infrastructures that are resilient to both well-known and new forms of attacks. It is important to understand the elements of the Cisco SAFE architecture and how it can be used with an enterprise security policy to counter threats. A modular approach to network security simplifies the network design and ensures that a security breach in one network module will remain isolated and not affect the entire network. This course introduces the Cisco SAFE architecture strategy for designing network security and discusses the Cisco solutions that are available for designing and deploying secure networks. This course also discusses how security is integrated in Cisco network devices. How to design network security solutions for the enterprise network using Cisco security solutions and network devices is also covered.

Target Audience
Anyone wishing to obtain the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCDA) certification that validates the knowledge and skills required to successfully design Cisco converged networks. Candidates who have completed the 640-816, 640-822, or 640-802 Cisco Certified Cisco Network Associate certification exam.
