CCNA Security (Cisco certified Network
Associate) is only a prerequisite certification for CCNA. The CCNA routing and
switching certification is also well-known as the CCNA Security, CCNA wireless and
CCNA voice. The purpose of the certification is clear and that is to create
Cisco certified network associates. The network associate certification by
Cisco itself, the largest networking organization in the world, verifies the
caliber of any particular individual regarding his base root knowledge about
networking. A CCNA is the study of networking on the most primary level, yet
the certification authenticates that the certified associate is now capable of
basic networking jobs.
The job of a CCNA security certified person
is to ensure that the network is fully secure and safe from unauthenticated
sources. Not only this, but the CCNA Security certification is awarded only to
the people who entirely understand the significance of security at every level
in a network. The credential holders of

The testing program IINS 640-554 is
necessary to be taken by the individual to get a CCNA Security certification.
Passing marks in the test lead the associate to getting a CCNA security
certification. A CCNA, afterwards officially validates all the skills required
to develop a security infrastructure to the Cisco networks. Basically, CCNA
security is a certification allotted to the deserved associates in order to
produce people who could very well deal with the installation jobs in the
networking department, core security technologies and troubleshooting. Data
integrity is to be maintained at every level in a networking environment and
this very task requires specific individuals who could work all time to
maintain it. The confidentiality of data must have an upholder who could
consistently keep a check on the security of data. Moreover, maintaining the
availability of data and devices is also a task that holds substantial
importance in a networking department; a CCNA security ensures all of this and
provides a full time security to the networks.
Another purpose of getting the CCNA Security certification is to
implement the basic Cisco security policy. To design and then monitor the Cisco
