Lecture: 2 Lab: 2

CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) Security provides an introduction to the core security concepts and skills needed for the installation, troubleshooting, and monitoring of network devices to maintain the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data and devices. This course concentrates on managing secure access, VPN encryption, firewalls, intrusion prevention, web and email content security, and endpoint security. Students learn network security principles as well as the tools and configurations available. The Cisco Curriculum is a collaborative effort between McHenry County College and the Cisco Networking Academy Program. This course offers extensive hands-on laboratory work coupled with web-enhanced curriculum.

Note: This course contains material that is especially challenging and is extremely technical in its content. McHenry County College, in academic partnership with Cisco, Inc., is offering this class after completing Cisco Certification Prep I and II. Successful completion of the CCNA Security class prepares students to take the Cisco’s CCNA Security certification test.
