Security and risk management skills are among the most sought-after abilities in networking, with global demand continually increasing. Organizations worldwide are facing a shortage of qualified information and communication technology (ICT) candidates who possess the specialized knowledge and skills needed to manage devices and applications within a secure infrastructure, recognize network vulnerabilities, and mitigate security threats.

The CCNA Security course is designed to unify data, devices, and administration to enhance network security, making it more relevant and valuable than ever. This course emphasizes practical experience, helping participants develop specialized security skills to advance their careers. It prepares attendees for entry-level security career opportunities by equipping them for the Implementing Cisco Network Security (IINS) certification exam (210-260), leading to the Cisco CCNA Security certification.

The British Academy for Training and Development offers this course as an independent curriculum or as part of a broader program, such as technology or continuing education. All hands-on labs can be completed on actual physical equipment or through the NDG NETLAB solution, which provides remote access to equipment over the Internet.
