The CCIE certification is one of the highest paid and most respected IT certifications available but also one of the most difficult to obtain. Many people have questions and concerns when it comes to obtaining the CCIE and that"s what this training is all about.

Jeremy Cioara has done a tremendous job breaking down all the information you need to not only study and prepare for the hands-on lab exam, but he presents it so that you learn how to model and configure advanced LAN/WAN topologies and scenarios. He shows you how to put together a practice lab to duplicate nearly any network set-up and provides an array of cost and time saving tips and tricks that will literally repay your investment in this training many times over.

Even if you do not plan on obtaining certification, you"ll learn about the Catalyst 3550 router, Frame-Relay, ISDN, OSPF, ISIS, NAT, VoIP, QOS and BGP.

While a CCNP certification is not a pre-requisite to earn your CCIE certification, you do need to know routing and switching thoroughly. In addition to having a CCNA, we recommend that you have the knowledge and skills of a CCNP prior to viewing the CCIE videos.

The training contains 36 videos providing more than 24 hours of instruction.

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.
