Cisco DESGN 2.1: Security Solutions for the Network

Course details

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.
