CCNA Cyber Operations

The CCNA Cyber Ops curriculum prepares you for opportunities in security operation centers as an analyst or incident responder. The hands-on labs focus on the skills needed to monitor, detect and respond to cybersecurity threats. Topics include cryptography, host-based security analysis, security monitoring, computer forensics, attack methods and incident reporting and handling.

All NETLAB+ supported labs in the CCNA Cyber Ops course are supported by the CCNA Cyber Ops Pod.
