CSI v2.0 is a five-day, instructor-led, lab-intensive course delivered by Ascolta. This task-oriented course teaches the knowledge and skills needed to implement and use the principles and axioms presented in the SAFE white papers for Small, Medium & Remote User (SMR). Enterprise, IP Telephony and Wireless LAN networks on specific devices. The primary focus is on the labs, which allow the students to build complete end-to-end security solutions using SAFE SMR as the blueprint. The configuration and functionality of the following devices in a SAFE SMR network are described in detail: IOS Routers, PIX Firewalls, VPN Concentrators, Cisco IDS Sensors, Cisco Security Agent and the Cisco VPN Client. Basic implementation of SAFE wireless LAN is also covered.

Course Objectives
