Description

The Security Solutions for System Engineers (SSSE) v3.0 course is recommended for system engineers, network designers, and security professionals designing security solutions in enterprise environments. The course provides an introduction to security design best practices for both host- and network-centric security controls. The course includes a systematic overview of modern threats, controls, and defensive architectures for a variety of common business scenarios, and enables the learner to choose the optimal architecture and Cisco products to satisfy business risk management requirements. The course also includes practice labs, which demonstrate the application of security technologies used in the case studies within the course.
