Description

The IP Security (IPsec) VPN is an essential tool for providing a secure network for business communication, and this course addresses the different protocols and algorithms that IPsec uses and the different security services that IPsec provides. The course also introduces different VPN technologies and examines the various Cisco products that are available and the best practices that you should use with them.
Site-to-site VPNs are the option of choice for organizations of all kinds in implementing a corporate network across public and private networks. Internet-based VPN environments and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPN environments benefit from the flexibility of deployment and standards-based implementation of cryptographic mechanisms. The choice of device terminating VPNs becomes an important factor in implementing site-to site VPNs. Organizations benefit from leveraging their existing network elements and using an integrated approach to VPN deployments. This course highlights the use of Cisco IOS routers as site-to-site VPN termination points in IP Security (IPsec) environments.
Mobility and IT consumerization market trends influence the need for comprehensive remote access security policies. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPNs are commonly used as a remote access service. As such, SSL VPNs must integrate strong cryptography and standards-based components with deployment and operational efficiencies and endpoint security. To complete this course the SSL protocol framework and the benefits of the Cisco SSL VPN solution are described. The configuration of clientless and full tunnel SSL VPNs using Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) and the Cisco AnyConnect Client is also demonstrated.
