Applying Cisco Data Center Security FAQs: Cost, Training, Value

What are the different types of security in a data center?

There are many different types of security that keep a data center and its information secure – from locked doors to complex encryption algorithms. Physical security is the first line of defense: ensuring that a space is physically safe from unwanted or accidental intrusion. Network security is a form of digital security that keeps data safe with firewalls, and intrusion detection software. Encryption and authentication methods are additional types of security.

Who should take this course on applying Cisco data center security?

IT professionals interested in a career in cybersecurity, network engineers, system administrators, and cybersecurity specialists should consider this course. Anyone whose job relates to designing, implementing, or managing security solutions for Cisco data center environments will find the information on this course directly applicable to their daily responsibilities. Additionally, anyone who wants to earn an advanced Cisco security certification or expand their understanding of Cisco data center technologies should take this course.

What are the three core components of the Cisco secure data center solution?

Cisco's security solutions synergistically work together by following three core components of data center security: network security, application security, security operations management. Firewalls, IDS and access control comprise the network security component. Using application firewalls and intelligent data filtering and analysis techniques to keep applications and their users safe is the role of the second component. Centralized management of security policies and incident response makes up the operations management component.

Is this Cisco data center security course associated with any certifications?

The skills and knowledge you'll gain from this course can be directly applied to many of Cisco's certifications, but this is a skills-focused course, not an exam-prep course. This is a relatively short course compared to others that prepare you for all of a Cisco certification such as the CCNP Security. This course is best for experienced administrators who want practical experience managing Cisco data center security tech and policies.

Can I get a job with this data center security course?

This is a skills-based course that deepens and extends a network or security technician's skills, it's not necessarily going to qualify you for a job on its own. If you already have working knowledge or experience in networking or security, this course is great for professional development. Not only does it look good on a resume, but you'll have first-hand experience implementing real security measures in a Cisco data center environment.
