This course covers Cisco’s programmable network, automating access security and simplifying network configurations.
Introduction to Cisco SD-Access and Catalyst Center (formerly DNA Center) offer Cisco’s next-generation programmable digital network to help automate common network access security features and streamline the redundant, complex configuration required to allow different groups of users access to the network infrastructure. This 2-day network security training course allows network administrators to quickly allow differentiated access for end users on the network while allowing the network to react automatically to day zero and other types of attacks using integration with Cisco ISE for Policy Enforcement with Cisco Catalyst Center (formerly DNA Center). The course qualified for 21 Cisco Continuing Education Credits (CE).
