CCNA Cybersecurity Operations
Today, emboldened cybercriminals
are tapping into legitimate online resources. They leach server capacity, steal
data, and demand ransoms from online victims whose information they hold
hostage. The explosive growth in Internet traffic-driven largely by faster
mobile speeds and the proliferation of online devices- works in their favor by
helping to expand the attack surface. Facing mounting challenges from
cybercrime, cyberespionage, insider threats, and advanced persistent threats,
organizations are establishing SOC teams of security professionals who can
monitor, detect, and respond rapidly to security incidents before they cause
damage.
Gain Career Ready Cyber Security Skills
“Demand for cybersecurity
professionals is expected to rise to 6 million globally by 2019.” (One Million
Cybersecurity Job Openings in 2016, Forbes). Students can get ready for this
in-demand job market by gaining career ready cyber security knowledge and
skills from the CCNA Cybersecurity Operations curriculum. The CCNA Cybersecurity
Operations curriculum provides a first step in acquiring the knowledge and
skills needed to work with a SOC team, and can be a valuable part of beginning
a career in the exciting and growing field of cybersecurity operations. The
curriculum helps prepare students for entry-level cybersecurity career
opportunities and is aligned to the Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity
Fundamentals exam (210-250 SECFND) and Implementing Cisco Cybersecurity
Operations exam (210-255 SECOPS) leading to the Cisco CCNA Cybersecurity
Operations certification.
The course provides practical,
relevant and job-ready skills aligned closely with the specific tasks expected
of SOC professionals through the following components:
• Interactive, multimedia content
• Activities, virtual hands-on
lab, Packet Tracer activities that reinforce learning
• Links to articles and websites
for enhanced learning on specific topics
• Quizzes and exams to check
students understanding of the information covered
Cyber Security Careers Cybersecurity operations jobs play a key part of securing information systems through the monitoring, detecting, investigating, analyzing, and responding to security events, thus protecting systems from cybersecurity risks, threats, and vulnerabilities. Such jobs are among the fastest-growing roles in IT, as organizations set up security operations centers (SOCs), and establish teams to monitor and respond to security incidents. CCNA Cybersecurity Operations is delivered through the Cisco NetAcad.com learning environment. Instructors can enroll students and teach the course through the same process used for other NetAcad™ courses.
