Description

The Implementing Security Service Edge with Cisco Secure Access (ICSA) training explores how to deploy, configure, and operate a Security Service Edge (SSE) solution using the Cisco Secure Access platform, highlighting key concepts, configurations, and verification procedures. You will learn about Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and SSE architecture and the Cisco Secure Access platform, how to configure Secure Private Access (SPA) and Secure Internet Access (SIA) with zero-trust access, threat and content defense, and data loss prevention (DLP), and how to verify enforcement and monitor user experience.

This is a product training and does not map to a Cisco certification or exam. Cisco Secure Access is also covered in Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) and Designing and Implementing Secure Cloud Access for Users and Endpoints (SCAZT) trainings. This training also earns you 17 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.

This training will help you: 

  • Understand SASE and SSE architecture to design and deploy robust, cloud-native security frameworks across your organization
  • Configure SPA and SIA to implement effective zero-trust access controls
  • Deploy advanced threat defense and DLP to protect critical enterprise data from modern cyber threats
  • Optimize user experience by monitoring traffic and verifying enforcement through integrated Experience Insights tools
  • Enhance SOC operations by integrating Cisco Secure Access with platforms like Cisco XDR and Splunk for streamlined visibility
  • Earn 17 CE credits toward recertification

Objectives

  • Describe the SASE frameworks, the SSE cloud-based security services it includes, and the SD-WAN concepts and Cisco SD-WAN edge device on-box security capabilities that complete the SASE architecture
  • Describe the Cisco Secure Access platform architecture and primary use cases
  • Describe the Cisco Secure Access management options and the Admin Portal
  • Describe the building blocks of the Cisco Secure Access initial configuration workflow
  • Describe the user-side traffic acquisition methods and private-application backhaul methods available in Cisco Secure Access
  • Configure Cisco Secure Access user provisioning and SAML-based SSO authentication
  • Configure the common Cisco Secure Access components required for Secure Private Access, including app-side connectivity, private resource definition, and access policy
  • Configure Zero Trust Access in Cisco Secure Access using client-based and browser-based methods
  • Configure VPNaaS and Branch IPsec in Cisco Secure Access for Secure Private Access
  • Configure Endpoint Posture, Security, and IPS Profiles in Cisco Secure Access for Secure Private Access
  • Configure the common Cisco Secure Access components required for Secure Internet Access
  • Describe the access methods dedicated to Secure Internet Access in Cisco Secure Access
  • Configure threat and content defense capabilities in Cisco Secure Access for Secure Internet Access
  • Configure Data Loss Prevention in Cisco Secure Access
  • Verify Cisco Secure Access user experience using Experience Insights
  • Integrate Cisco Secure Access with Cisco XDR and Splunk Enterprise to enhance SOC operations
