Cisco CCNA Security Certification

CCNA Security Certification

Cisco Certified Network Associate Security (CCNA® Security) validates associate-level knowledge and skills required to secure Cisco networks. With a CCNA Security certification, a network professional demonstrates the skills required to develop a security infrastructure, recognize threats and vulnerabilities to networks, and mitigate security threats. The CCNA Security curriculum emphasizes core security technologies, the installation, troubleshooting and monitoring of network devices to maintain integrity, confidentiality and availability of data and devices, and competency in the technologies that Cisco uses in its security structure.

Implementing Cisco IOS Network Security (IINS) exam course focuses on security principles and technologies, using Cisco security products to provide hands-on examples. Using instructor-led discussions, extensive hands-on lab exercises, and supplemental materials, this course allows learners to understand common security concepts, and deploy basic security techniques utilizing a variety of popular security appliances within a “real-life” network infrastructure.

  37. Hi everyone

    I just pass the exam for CCNA sec yesterday with sroce 988/1000.

    My study material was the Curriculum that is official from cisco, CBT nuggets video, Packet Tracer practices, CCNA Security 640-553 Official Exam Certification Guide book and off course the Boson exam test machine that came with the book. Best choise for me that tests!!
    2 months reading and ready!!

    I wish to all good luck and don’t afraid..you will understand when you will be ready for the exam!!

    Reply

  38. Hi I am considering doing CCNA security to renew my current CCNA, I’m just wondering what simulators are available as I don’t own any hardware to practice on. I used Boson NetSim to practice for my CCNA, what is available and recommended for CCNA security. Also for the guys that passed, how does CCNA security compare in difficulty to the normal CCNA. Thanks

    1. I recommend CbtNuggets is the best. Firstly, just watch CbtNuggets videos ( you can download here) and read the book ( you can download here). By watching CbtNuggets videos, you might want to know more and then read the book. For hardware practice, I bought Cisco 2611XM routers and practice with them. There has some websites you can practice on line with their routers…
      Try with GNS3…

  39. Hi,

    I just passed this exam yesterday, with an exam score of 977. I studied from Cisco CCNA security book, Train Signal, Packet Tracer for Labs and Sims, and studied from Pass 4 sure. Packet Tracer and Train Signal helped me tremendously with understanding the concepts as well as implementing several Security features and configs a CCNA Security Engineer should know. Aside from Cisco CCNA security book, I got all the other study materials here. Thanks careercert. You definitely aided me in passing this exam. Many thanks.

    Pass4sure V4.38 138Qs are still valid, simply in the real exam more false options have been added on questions.
    I found some mistakes on PS4 answer on some LAB’s, but they are easy to figure out
