Secure routing and switching. Firewalls. Intrusion prevention systems. Virtual private networking. A Cisco Certified Security Professional has to know them all. Securing Cisco Network Devices (SND) brings all these technologies together, teaching you how to use this knowledge to build a complete network security system.
The SND Series covers how you can:

Choose the Cisco security devices you need for the protection and functionality you require.
Implement the security devices to match your networking needs.
Constantly refine your security through a network security cycle of securing, monitoring, testing, improving, and repeating.
Create effective security policies - including gaining company backing, creating written guidelines for security, and more.
Defend against attacks using Cisco’s network security technologies.
See where your network is vulnerable - discover your network faults before someone else does.

You’re up late, banging away at your keyboard. You find the hole you were looking for. Now you just find the right directory, copy a couple files, back right out of the system, and erase your tracks. Within 15 minutes of finding a back door into the network, you’ve downloaded transaction data for all credit card transactions within the last two years. You’d think credit card processing companies would be more secure than that.
The FBI should be busting down your door any minute now. But they won’t. You print out your keystroke logger info. You make a phone call. “I got in.” They don’t believe it. But when you deliver the keystroke log the next day, they’re floored. They cut you a check, and offer you an even bigger contract to help them fix the hole.

Do things that should get you arrested - but get paid instead. Ethical Hacking is so cool.

“What makes this knowledge so valuable?”

The work you do as an Ethical Hacker can save businesses from massive harm. You get to find and close off vulnerabilities that hackers could otherwise exploit to get inside your network and steal or even destroy data. By getting there first, you prevent leaks of sensitive information - even fraud and identity theft against employees and customers.

The weakest point in security is people. Your security can be “technically perfect,” but a single user can leave your whole network open to attack, just by writing their password on a sticky note and leaving it stuck to the bottom of their keyboard. The media covers story after story about blunders like this that cause companies to lose both reputation and money while customers and employees risk identity theft.
Even with all the news coverage events like this get, many users don’t pay much attention to keeping their computers secure. That’s why it’s up to security professionals, management, and IT staff like you to take responsibility for training end-users on security.

The simple way to train end-users on security practices -

The CBT Nuggets End-User Security training videos are an easy way to train end-users on security practices they can apply right away. Video lessons hold students’ attention and make learning easy. The videos allow students to train at your company’s convenience, not when an outside trainer or busy IT security staff member is available. Lessons can even be rewatched as needed, to refresh a student’s knowledge at no additional cost to the company. And James Conrad, our expert instructor, has a style that is fun, interesting, and easy to learn from, while still giving complete instruction.
