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) and Designing and Implementing Secure Cloud Access for Users and Endpoints (SCAZT) trainings. This training also earns you 17 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
