Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Cybersecurity certification (CCNACBR)

In just 5 days, the Firebrand course for Cisco CCNA Cybersecurity (CCNACBR) teaches you security concepts, common network and application operations and attacks, and the types of data needed to investigate security incidents.

Previously known as Cisco CyberOps Associate, this course will help you develop the skills you need to monitor alerts and breaches and understand and follow established procedures for response to alerts converted to incidents.

Through expert instruction and hands-on practice, you will learn the essential skills, concepts, and technologies necessary to be a contributing member of a Cybersecurity Operations Centre (SOC), including understanding the IT infrastructure, operations, and vulnerabilities.

Upon completing this certification you will have:

• the skills to prepare for more advanced job roles in cyber security operations
• a basic understanding of Security Operations Centre (SOC) teams including an understanding of the type of metrics used to detect and respond to security incidents
• an understanding of how to protect your organisation's information from common attack vectors and endpoint attacks
• knowledge in security monitoring, including identifying sources and types of data and events.
• knowledge of how organisations are detecting and responding to cyber crime, cyber espionage, insider threats, advanced persistent threats and regulatory requirements
• an understanding of security challenges involved with network applications

This course is designed for individuals seeking a role as an associate-level cybersecurity analyst and IT professionals desiring knowledge in Cybersecurity operations or those in pursuit of Cisco certification, including:

• Students pursuing a technical degree
• Current IT professionals
• Recent college graduates with a technical degree

You'll get access to official courseware and be trained by Cisco Certified Trainers who, through our unique Lecture | Lab | Review technique, will take you through key security principles and provide hands-on, practical examples.
