This course provides a comprehensive technical understanding of Cisco Secure Access within the Cisco Security Cloud and SASE architecture. Designed for network and security engineers, it covers Zero Trust fundamentals, Secure Service Edge (SSE), and cloud security design principles. Students learn how to deploy and manage Cisco Security Cloud Control (SCC), onboard Secure Access, configure subscriptions, and validate service readiness. The curriculum includes identity integration with Okta, DUO, and Active Directory, deployment of virtual appliances, DNS Defense configuration, and Umbrella migration strategies. Learners explore integrations with Catalyst SD-WAN, Meraki SD-WAN, Cisco Secure Firewall, and ISR platforms, including Secure Internet Access (SIA) and Secure Private Access (SPA) workflows. Advanced topics include policy design, endpoint posture enforcement, ZTNA configuration, AI-driven security controls, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Digital Experience Insights, ThousandEyes integration, monitoring, troubleshooting, APIs, and Terraform automation.
Upon completion, students can design, deploy, integrate, secure, and automate Cisco Secure Access in enterprise SASE environments.
This course provides practical knowledge and implementation-level understanding of FMC, Cisco Secure Firewall, and Cisco Secure Access integration within modern hybrid security architectures. Rather than focusing only on theory, the training emphasizes real-world deployment models used in enterprise and government environments.
