COURSE OVERVIEW
Begin your journey through the Security Certified Program (SCP) by taking this course. SCNS is a pre-requisite for becoming certified as a SCNA and SCNP. The SCNS course covers essential defensive concepts that are necessary to secure network perimeters, including firewalls, router security, and intrusion detection. Students will also learn how to install, configure, and maintain network security technology. Before becoming certified as a SCNS, you'll be required to pass the Tactical Perimeter Defense (TPD) examination: SC0-451.
Students will learn the necessary skills and knowledge needed to pass the SCNS exam during this course, including the basics of network defense, advanced TCP/IP, access control lists and routers, configuring and creating firewalls, maintaining virtual private networks, creating intrusion detection systems, and shielding wireless networks.
