SCOR
Class Overview
Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies
Replacement for: SENSS, SIMOS, SISAS, SITCS
The Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (or SCOR) 5-day class helps you prepare for the Cisco® CCNP® Security and CCIE® Security certifications and for senior-level security roles.
In this class, you should master the skills and technologies you need to implement core Cisco security solutions to provide advanced threat protection against cybersecurity attacks. You will be taught security for networks, cloud and content, endpoint protection, secure network access, visibility, and enforcements.
You will get extensive hands-on experience deploying Cisco Firepower® Next-Generation Firewall and Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Firewall; configuring access control policies, mail policies, and 802.1X Authentication; and more. You will get introductory practice on Cisco Stealthwatch® Enterprise and Cisco Stealthwatch Cloud threat detection features.
This class, including the self-paced material, helps prepare you to take the exam, Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR), which leads to the CCNP Security, CCIE Security, and the Cisco Certified Specialist – Security Core certifications.
The class consists of Instructor-led Training (ILT), followed by self-study*.
*Note: Cisco requires that students complete the 5-day instructor-led class, followed by a further 3 days’ worth self-study using additional materials (included).
