This CCNA course delivers extensive training and resources to ensure participants are fully prepared for the CCNA certification exam. Through practical labs, continuous assessments, and considerable savings on certification costs, the course is tailored to assist learners in achieving their networking certification aspirations.

This four-day, instructor-led practical course is designed to acquaint delegates with the Command Line Interface (CLI) and ASDM of the Cisco ASA Firewall. The curriculum covers the essential commands required to configure and secure networks using the ASA Firewall, specifically version 8 of the operating system and version 6 of the ASDM.

Participants will learn to configure the ASA via the console port, TFTP server, telnet, and SSH, utilizing both local and RADIUS authentication methods. Additionally, the device will be set up to leverage Syslog and SNMP for monitoring and management.

The course also addresses the configuration of ASA Firewalls to employ Access-Lists, Network Address Translation (NAT), and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) based on IPSec protocols. Key theoretical concepts include Public/Private keys, shared secret keys, and their application in establishing Site-to-Site VPNs between ASA Firewalls units using IKE and IPSec. Students will configure the units to create Site-to-Site VPNs, Remote Access VPNs using the Cisco Secure VPN Client, and Web VPNs. The course also covers the theory of failover, with hands-on configuration of Active/Standby failover on the ASA.

Privileged commands and protocol analyzer traces will be employed where necessary to debug protocols and ensure the proper operation of the ASA Firewall. Participants will also undertake password recovery procedures.

This course involves interfacing the ASA with other network equipment, such as routers and switches, reflecting typical network environment requirements.

Audience:

The course is suitable for anyone involved in ASA firewall configuration and network security.

The course is approximately 50% practical.

The EC-Council’s CCISO Program has certified leading information security professionals around the world. A core group of high-level information security executives, the CCISO Advisory Board, contributed by forming the foundation of the program and outlining the content that would be covered by the exam, body of knowledge, and training. Some members of the Board contributed as authors, others as exam writers, others as quality assurance checks, and still others as trainers. Each segment of the program was developed with the aspiring CISO in mind and looks to transfer the knowledge of seasoned professionals to the next generation in the areas that are most critical in the development and maintenance of a successful information security program.

The Certified CISO (CCISO) program is the first of its kind training and certification program aimed at producing top-level information security executives. The CCISO does not focus solely on technical knowledge but on the application of information security management principles from an executive management point of view. The program was developed by sitting CISOs for current and aspiring CISOs.
