Duration:
5 Days
What youâll learn in this course:
The Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Fundamentals (SECFND) course
gives you foundation-level knowledge of common security concepts, basic
security techniques, and the fundamentals of applications, operating systems,
and networking used in a Security Operations Center (SOC). This course helps
you learn to find threats within a real-life network infrastructure using a
variety of popular security tools. Through expert instruction and hands-on
experience using enterprise-grade security tools, you will learn the basics of
network and security concepts, endpoint attacks, cryptography, analysis, and
monitoring. This course provides introductory knowledge for those interested in
entering the field of cybersecurity and prepares you for the 210-250 SECFND
exam, one of the two exams for the current Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate*
certification.
How youâll benefit:
- Learn fundamental principles of cryptography, applications,
operating systems, and networking - Learn foundational knowledge for detecting and responding to
cybersecurity incidents, including monitoring, analysis, and understanding
common attacks - Prepare for the Cisco CCNA Cyber Ops certification with hands-on
practice using real-life security analysis tools, such as those found in a
Linux distribution - Start your career in the high-demand area of cybersecurity
- If you need privileged access to DoD Systems, and are military
personnel, civilian contractors, and others, this course helps your prepare for
Cisco CCNA Cyber Ops certification, which is one of the DoD Approved 8570
Baseline Certifications
