Securing Industrial IoT Networks with Cisco Technologies (ISECIN)

This course provides an overview of the IoT enabled industrial verticals (manufacturing, energy, O&G, utilities, process control), architectures, and IIoT security requirements, frameworks, and regulations. Security protocols, vulnerabilities, and the process of securing against the vulnerabilities are examined in depth and practiced in the hands-on lab environment. We suggest students who wish to take this course are well-versed in IP Networking Basics, OT Networking Basics, and Network Security Basics, with an IINS or CCNA Security equivalent. For more detailed information regarding this Cisco Security training course, you can find course objectives and recommended student-types below.
