CCSP CCIE Security

Cisco® CCSP Training & Certification

CCSP

The CCSP certification (Cisco Certified Security Professional) validates 
advanced knowledge and skills required to secure Cisco networks. With a 
CCSP,a network professional demonstrates the skills required to secure
and manage network infrastructures to protect productivity and reduce costs.
The CCSP curriculum emphasizes secure VPN management, Cisco Adaptive 
Security Device Manager (ASDM), PIX firewall, Adaptive Security Appliance 
(ASA), Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), Cisco Security Agent (CSA), 
and techniques to combine these technologies in a single, integrated network 
security solution.
