Course Overview
The Cisco DoD Comply-to-Connect (C2C) course by Cisco is designed for network security engineers, network administrators, and security administrators tasked with deploying and managing secure network access in Department of Defense (DoD) environments. This training equips professionals with the skills to implement a DoD Comply-to-Connect network architecture using Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), aligning with Zero Trust principles. Participants will gain expertise in 802.1X authentication for wired and wireless devices, endpoint profiling, compliance enforcement, and policy control through ISE. As cybersecurity threats grow, demand for ISE and Zero Trust expertise has surged, with the DoD mandating C2C compliance across its networks, making this training essential for government contractors and agencies.
Students engage with core Cisco technologies including Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), TrustSec, TACACS+, and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), alongside integrations with third-party platforms such as Tenable, Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM), and Trellix. The hands-on lab environment includes real-world scenarios where learners configure ISE policies for MAB and 802.1X, integrate ISE with Active Directory, customize profiling, set up posture compliance, and generate DISA reports. A key project involves building a full compliance workflow that validates endpoint security posture before granting network access, simulating actual DoD deployment requirements. These labs are conducted in a dedicated virtual lab environment that mirrors enterprise-grade ISE deployments.
While there is no standalone certification exam specifically for Cisco DoD Comply-to-Connect (C2C), completing the course earns 32 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification for active Cisco certifications, enhancing career progression within the DoD 8140 workforce framework. Graduates are well-prepared for roles requiring IAT Level II or III compliance, with C2C architects commanding salaries up to $185,000 as seen in current government contracts. Koenig Solutions offers official Cisco courseware, expert-led instruction, and a Guaranteed-to-Run schedule, ensuring professionals can access this critical training without delays. Mastery of Cisco C2C positions individuals at the forefront of secure, identity-driven network access in federal and defense environments.
