Network Binary | Experience the Future of Learning

Learn how to set up, operate, and manage the Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA), which is powered by Cisco Talos and offers business email users improved protection against online threats! You can build proxy services, employ authentication, implement usage control settings and rules, and regulate HTTPS traffic and access with the help of the two-day intermediate-level Cisco Web Security Appliance course. You get knowledge on how to administer the Cisco WSA solution, apply data security and loss prevention, and use the anti-malware features of the solution, among many other things.The 300-725 SWSA exam (Securing the Web with Cisco Web Security Appliance), which is necessary to obtain the certifications for Cisco Certified Specialist-Web Content Security and CCNP® Security, is also prepared for by the Cisco security course.

Note: To obtain the Cisco Certified Specialist-Web Content Security certification, you must pass the 300-725 SWSA exam alone. But it just fulfils the CCNP® Security certification concentration test criteria.
