Implementing Cisco IOS Network Security (IINS) focuses on the necessity of a comprehensive security policy and how it affects the posture of the network. Learners will be able to perform basic tasks to secure a small branch type office network using Cisco IOS security features available through web-based GUIs (Cisco Router and Security Device Manager [SDM]) and the command-line interface (CLI) on the Cisco routers and switches. After this course learners can take the Exam 640-553 and thus obtain the CCNA Security certification.

Knowledge Prerequisites
The knowledge and skills that a learner must have before attending this course are as follows:
• Skills and knowledge equivalent to those learned in ICND 1 - Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1
• Working knowledge of the Windows operating system.
Course Objective
• Develop a comprehensive network security policy to counter threats against information security.
• Configure routers on the network perimeter with Cisco IOS Software security features.
• Configure a Cisco IOS zone-based firewall to perform basic security operations on a network.
