NWK520 - CCNAv7 Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation (ENSA)

Course Description

Short Course | 16 hours | 1.6 CEUs | $1,495

The Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation (ENSA) course is the third course in the CCNAv7 curriculum. This course describes the architectures and considerations related to designing, securing, operating, and troubleshooting enterprise networks. This course covers wide area network (WAN) technologies and quality of service (QoS) mechanisms used for secure remote access. It also introduces software-defined networking, virtualization, and automation concepts that support the digitalization of networks. Students gain skills to configure and troubleshoot enterprise networks and learn to identify and protect against cybersecurity threats. They are introduced to network management tools and learn key concepts of software-defined networking, including controller-based architectures and how application programming interfaces (APIs) enable network automation.

The Cisco Networking Academy®CCNAv7curriculum is designed for participants who are seeking entry-level jobs in the ICT industry or hope to fulfill prerequisites to pursue more specialized ICT skills. The CCNAv7curriculum is presented in three courses: Introduction to Networks (ITN), Switching, Routing and Wireless Essentials (SRWE), and enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation (ENSA). These three courses provide integrated and comprehensive coverage of networking topics including IP routing and switching fundamentals, network security and services, and network programmability and automation while providing learners extensive opportunities for hands-on practical experience and career skills development.
