Overview
Securing Networks with Firewalls provides students with the knowledge and practical skills needed to pursue entry-level careers as security specialists. This hands-on, career-focused e-learning course emphasizes real-world experience and builds a deep understanding of network security principles, along with the tools and configurations used to secure network infrastructures.
As part of a two-course program, this course prepares students to sit for the Cisco CCNP Security Certification exam. Students engage in a variety of hands-on labs, including procedural and troubleshooting exercises, skills integration challenges, and model-building projects. All labs can be completed using Cisco Packet Tracer. Most chapters feature cumulative Packet Tracer-based challenges to reinforce learning and skill development.
Delivered through UMass Global’s LIVE ONLINE format using advanced video conferencing technology, this course provides the same expert instruction and interactive experience as an in-person classroom.
