Implementing Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS 7)

The Implementing Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) v7.0 course is an instructor-led course presented by Cisco training partners to their end-user customers. This five-day course aims at providing network security engineers with the knowledge and skills needed to deploy Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)-based security solutions. Successful graduates will be able to reduce risk to the IT infrastructure and applications using Cisco IPS features, and provide detailed operations support for the Cisco IPS.

The primary audience for this course is as follows:

• Network Security Engineers (NSEs) involved in IPS design, implementation and main-tenance.
• Cisco customers who implement and maintain Cisco IPS solutions.

The secondary audience for this course is as follows:

• Cisco channel partners who sell, implement, and maintain Cisco IPS Solutions
• Cisco engineers who support the sale of Cisco IPS Solutions

The knowledge and skills that a learner must have before attending this course are as follows:

• Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification:Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices 1 (ICND1) & Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices 2 (ICND2)
