Cisco Cloud Training (SECICC)

Introducing Cisco Cloud Consumer Security (SECICC) is a one-day course that gives you a technical overview of basic concepts and components of the cloud, and the Cisco® solutions used to provide comprehensive security of your cloud-based environment. In this primarily lecture-based course, you’ll learn the basics from a cloud consumer perspective including securing cloud and software as a service (SaaS) application environments. This introductory course provides insights on using Cisco Stealthwatch™ Cloud, Cisco CloudLock, Cisco Umbrella™ and more to protect the user when using cloud-based applications. 

The course qualifies for 6 Cisco Continuing Education credits (CE) towards recertification.

This course gives you an overview of how Cisco cloud security solutions can secure cloud environments to:
