HIPS - Securing Hosts Using Cisco Security Agent Training Classes

Do you need to master the deployment, configuration, and administration of Cisco Security Agent to better protect your server and workstation hosts? The Securing Hosts Using Cisco Security Agent training class will teach you these skills using CSA v5.0 and it will prepare you for the Cisco Exam #642-513 as well.

You'll follow a task-oriented approach to the content where you will do the tasks for yourself and work with CSA. Our certified instructor will lead you and your fellow students through the steps you need to master for success in the exam room as well as in your network. You'll get hands-on training using Cisco Security Agent v5.0 and understand how to work with the various architectures, configurations, kits, and tools.

The Securing Hosts Using Cisco Security Agent training class takes place at our location in just two days. During your stay, you'll work on security fundamentals, CSA quick installations, Management Center Administration, configuring groups and managing hosts, building policies, learning about rules, defining application classes, working with variables, and using CSA analysis, event logs, and reports.

Does your group have over six members who need to master Cisco Security Agent? Whether your employees want to get certified or simply need to learn how to protect your server using Cisco Security Agent, consider the onsite Securing Hosts Using Cisco Security Agent training class as a cost-effective means of delivering this training to a larger group. Rather than sending the entire team to our facility, we'll send our instructor to yours. Your group will get the same course and hands-on lab opportunities as those who travel to our location with the convenience of being at their home base.
