The Cisco Networking Academy has introduced a new Cisco CCNA Security course in response to the growing demand for entry-level professionals with networking security and risk-management abilities.

“This new CCNA Security curriculum reflects the evolving technologies and specialised security skills that will help students succeed in today’s global, networked economy,” said Amy Christen, vice president, Corporate Affairs and general manager, Cisco Networking Academy.

Security and risk-management skills are among those that are the most sought-after in networking, with global demand continuing to grow. Organisations around the world are experiencing a shortage of qualified information and communications technology (ICT) candidates with the specialised knowledge and skills needed to administer devices and applications in a highly secure infrastructure, to recognise network vulnerabilities and to mitigate security threats.

The Cisco Networking Academy CCNA Security course provides a next step for individuals who want to enhance their CCNA-level skill set and help meet the growing demand for networking professionals with specialised skills.-TradeArabia News Service
