Network Security

Course Objective

The main objective of the class is to provide the student with all the knowledge and skills to become a Cisco Certified Firewall Specialist.

Cisco security certifications focus on the growing need for knowledgeable network professionals who can implement complete security solutions. Cisco Firewall Specialists focus on securing network access using Cisco IOS Software and Cisco PIX Firewall Technologies.

• Configure PIX firewalls
• Explain the routing functionality of the PIX firewall
• Perform password recovery on the PIX firewall
• Install the PIX Device Manager and use it to configure and monitor the PIX firewall
• Test and verify PIX firewall operations

The Network Security program consists of two classes that can be only taken on a 16-week schedule. The classes must be taken in order.

• CSIS 273 Network Security II
