Cisco® Secure Intrusion Detection Systems (CSIDS)

RETIRED

Length: 5-Day Workshop

CSIDS is a five-day leader-led, lab-intensive course delivered by Cisco Learning Partners (CLPs). This task-oriented course teaches the knowledge and skills needed to design, install, and configure a Cisco® Intrusion Protection solution for small, medium, and enterprise networks. The course covers Cisco® IDS platforms including the Cisco® 4200 series Sensors, the Network Module for Cisco® 2600/3600/3700 routers, and the Catalyst® 6000 series Intrusion Detection Module 2 (IDSM2). The IDS Device Manager and the Management Center for IDS Sensors are used to configure and manage Cisco® IDS Sensor platforms. The IDS Event Viewer and the Monitoring Center for Security are used to view IDS alarms.

You will learn to:

• Describe the basic intrusion detection terminology
• Explain the different intrusion detection technologies and evasive techniques
• Design a Cisco® IDS protection solution for small, medium, and enterprise customers
