Who Should Take CCNP Security Training?

Mid-level Network Engineers

If you’ve spent a few years managing R&S but now find yourself responsible for securing the perimeter, this training is your bridge. It’s designed for those moving into Network Security Engineer roles who need to validate their ability to deploy Cisco Firepower, manage VPNs, and implement identity management via ISE. This course turns your foundational routing knowledge into a specialized security skill set.

Cybersecurity Analysts & Architects

For professionals already working in a SOC or defending infrastructure, the CCNP Security is the industry-standard milestone that proves you can build robust defenses. If you are aiming for senior architecture roles, this training fills the gaps in complex areas like automation (Python/APIs) and cloud-native security (NIST models) that you might not encounter in daily operations.
