What this course is

Where Cisco security stops
being a firewall.

CCNP Security is Cisco's senior network-security professional credential. It validates that you can design, implement and operate the Cisco security portfolio at depth — firewalls, identity, secure access (SSE/SASE), secure cloud, content and email security.

At Nexperts, CCNP Security is delivered over 8 days against a real Cisco security lab — Secure Firewall, ISE, Secure Access (SSE), Umbrella and XDR. By day 8 you've configured policy across all major surfaces, run a multi-vector incident through Cisco XDR and migrated an ASA configuration to Secure Firewall (FTD).

CCNP Security is the cert that filters firewall pushers from security architects. The portfolio is broad — we make sure you operate every plane, not just memorise its name.

The 2026 CCNP Security update sharpened the focus on Cisco Secure Access (SSE), Cisco XDR, Multicloud Defense and the Talos threat intelligence integration. We cover all four with hands-on labs.
