CCNP Security Certification and Training: Overview

Prepare for your CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional Security) Certification with SpireTec, the leading IT and management training company. We provide end-to-end in-depth training for the core and concentration exams of CCNP Security Certification. Core exam has topics that apply across a technology, including automation and programmability, while the concentration exam covers a focus area of your choice in that technology. On the successful completion of every CCNP core and concentration exam, you are awarded with an individual Specialist certification.

Our CCNP security online training is a job-oriented program. In our CCNP security certification classes, we help you master the skills required to assess the online security risks associated with your organization. Learn how to configure full-proof security for routers, switches, networking devices and appliances.

We also deliver corporate training. If you wish your IT administrators or network security engineers to earn CISCO CCNP Security Certification, get in touch with us. Learning the skills of deploying, supporting and troubleshooting Firewalls, VPNS, and IDS/IPS solutions, will help them perform at their best.

CCNP Security Certification (Core Exam): Skills Measured

The core exam focuses on “Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies”. Exam code: 350-701 SCOR. The primary skills are as follows:

  1. Describe information security concepts and strategies within the network
  2. Describe common TCP/IP, network application, and endpoint attacks
  3. Describe how various network security technologies work together to guard against attacks
  4. Implement access control on Cisco ASA appliance and Cisco Firepower Next-Generation Firewall

CCNP Security Certification (Concentration Exam): Skills Measured

There are 7 choices as follows:

  1. Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower Next Generation Firewall (SSNGFW)
  2. Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower Next-Generation IPS (SSFIPS)
  3. Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (SISE)
  4. Securing Email with Cisco Email Security Appliance (SESA)
  5. Securing the Web with Cisco Web Security Appliance (SWSA)
  6. Implementing Secure Solutions with Virtual Private Networks (SVPN)
  7. Implementing Automation for Cisco Security Solutions (SAUI)

Who Should Take CCNP Security Certification?

Security Engineer

Also called as Information security analysts, security engineers plan and carry out security measures to protect an organization’s computer networks and systems. Their responsibilities are continually expanding as the number of cyberattacks increases. In our CCNP security online training, we help you define and deploy Intent-based networking security for users, devices, apps, etc.

Network Engineer

Computer networks are critical parts of almost every organization. Network engineers handle day-to-day operation of these networks. In SpireTec’s CCNP security online training, we help you learn how to setup, install, and support local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), network segments, intranets, etc.

Network Designer

Network designers within an organization perform the assessment of requirements for different processes or operations and perform network planning and design accordingly. The network designing process is specific to an organization. Under CCNP security online training, we help you design network based on real-world scenarios.

Cisco CCNP security certification also helps network administrator, systems engineer, consulting system engineer, technical solutions architect, network manager, Cisco integrators and partners to advance their career and growth.

Prerequisites for CCNP CISCO Certification

There is no prerequisite. You no longer need associate-level certification to qualify for Cisco CCNP security certification.
