Postgraduate
Network security
With organisations increasingly dependent on their information systems, there is a greater need to ensure that the underlying network infrastructure being used by these systems is secure. We are a leading Cisco Academy and this Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) Security course will give you a foundation to prepare for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) qualification. It will provide you with the knowledge, understanding and practical experience of managing secure communication across a large-scale internetwork using Cisco equipment. You will also be expected to undertake individual research to contextualise your Cisco study in the broader security management environment.

This course is expected to start for the last time in November 2016.
Vocational relevance
Upon completion of the Cisco CCNA Security curriculum youll be in a position to take the associated CCNA Security certification, an internationally recognised advanced work-based qualification.
Entry
This 30-credit course is studied over six months. Please be aware that you will need to spend at least 12 hours a week studying the course over this period. This is a postgraduate course, where we assume you have relevant academic, employment or commercial certification experience. The course provides additional Cisco-specific access material based on CCNA. However, learners who have completed Cisco networking (CCNA) (T216) (or the discontinued T228) or have experience of the CCNA as a commercial certification or at another Cisco academy will be at an advantage. For advice on the best order of study for T824, T828, T826 and T827, see the Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Networking (E51). Although some of the main study material is provided as a printed book, additional key material is online and so you should be confident in the use of a computer to access the Web and be prepared to spend much of your study time online. Broadband access is essential. The study material contains active content, which means that you will need to set up your firewall to allow pop-ups from the Cisco and OU sites. You do need to have a reasonable standard of spoken and written English to study successfully with us. Poor language skills will make study more difficult, and it will take longer. The normal requirements for English language skills are explained on our website. If you have any doubts about whether your level of English is good enough for you to study this course you may find it helpful to look at our Skills for OU Study site. If you have any doubt about the suitability of the course, please contact our Student Registration & Enquiry Service.
