Course Description
Implementing Cisco IOS Network Security (IINS) v2.0 is a five-day instructor-led course focused on the design, implementation, and monitoring of a comprehensive security policy, using Cisco IOS security features and technologies as examples. The course covers security controls of Cisco IOS devices as well as a functional introduction to the Cisco ASA adaptive security appliance. Using instructor-led discussion, lecture, and hands-on lab exercises, this course allows you to perform basic tasks to secure a small branch office network using Cisco IOS security features that are available through web-based GUIs (Cisco Configuration Professional) and the CLI on Cisco routers, switches, and ASA appliances.

Module 1: Networking Security Fundamentals
This module describes the components of a comprehensive network security policy that can be used to counter threats against IT systems, within the context of a security policy life cycle.
Lesson 1: Introducing Networking Security Concepts Lesson 2: Understanding Security Policies Using a Life-Cycle Approach Lesson 3: Building a Security Strategy for Borderless Networks Module 2: Protecting the Network Infrastructure
This module explains how to develop and implement security countermeasures aimed at protecting network elements as part of the network infrastructure. The module explains examples of control plane, data plane, and management plane security controls, within the Cisco Network Foundation Protection (NFP) framework, providing tools to implement those security controls as part of a security policy.
