Course Overview
The Securing Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) course by Cisco is designed for network engineers, architects, and systems administrators responsible for deploying and managing secure, intent-based networks using Cisco’s Software-Defined Access (SD-Access). This training aligns with the skills required for the 350-701 SCOR exam, part of the CCNP Security certification path. Participants will gain expertise in automating policy-driven security across enterprise networks, leveraging Cisco DNA Center as the central orchestrator. With over 40% of Fortune 500 companies adopting SD-Access to streamline operations and enhance security posture, this course equips professionals with in-demand capabilities for modern network infrastructure.
Students engage with core technologies including Cisco DNA Center, Identity Services Engine (ISE), StealthWatch, LISP, VXLAN, and TrustSec within a hands-on lab environment that simulates real-world deployment scenarios. Using virtual appliances such as Cisco CSR 1000V, ISE 3.1, and DNA Center 2.2.2.4, learners configure fabric edge nodes, control plane nodes, and border nodes while implementing segmentation via scalable group tags (SGTs). A key project involves building an end-to-end SD-Access fabric where students integrate ISE for role-based access control, deploy TrustSec for secure group policy enforcement, and use StealthWatch for threat visibility—mirroring actual enterprise implementations.
This course prepares candidates for the CCNP Security certification, widely recognized for validating advanced security expertise in automated, software-defined environments. Certified professionals report average annual salaries of $95,000–$158,000 in the U.S., with roles such as Network Security Engineer and Automation Architect in high demand across sectors like finance and cloud services. Koenig Solutions enhances learning through Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official Cisco courseware, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring, ensuring mastery of complex workflows. Graduates are positioned to lead secure digital transformations, driving operational efficiency and zero-trust compliance in next-generation networks.
