Course Overview
The Implementing Security Service Edge with Cisco Secure Access (ICSA) training explores how to deploy, configure, and operate a Security Service Edge (SSE) solution using the Cisco Secure Access platform, highlighting key concepts, configurations, and verification procedures. You will learn about Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and SSE architecture and the Cisco Secure Access platform, how to configure Secure Private Access (SPA) and Secure Internet Access (SIA) with zero-trust access, threat and content defense, and data loss prevention (DLP), and how to verify enforcement and monitor user experience.
This is a product training and does not map to a Cisco certification or exam. Cisco Secure Access is also covered in Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) training and in Designing and Implementing Secure Cloud Access for Users and Endpoints (SSCA) training, launching in January 2027. This training earns you 17 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
This training will help you:
- Understand SASE and SSE architecture to design and deploy robust, cloud-native security frameworks across your organization
- Configure SPA and SIA to implement effective zero-trust access controls
- Deploy advanced threat defense and DLP to protect critical enterprise data from modern cyber threats
- Optimize user experience by monitoring traffic and verifying enforcement through integrated Experience Insights tools
- Enhance SOC operations by integrating Cisco Secure Access with platforms like Cisco XDR and Splunk for streamlined visibility
- Earn 17 CE credits toward recertification
