300-206 - Implementing Cisco Edge Network Security Solutions
The 300-206 exam is part of the new Implementing Cisco Edge Network Security Solutions certification. This exam measures your ability and skills related to eto configure and implement security on Cisco network perimeter edge devices such as a Cisco switch, Cisco router, and Cisco ASA firewall.
The exam focuses on the technologies used to strengthen security of a network perimeter such as Network Address Translation (NAT), ASA policy and application inspect, and a zone-based firewall on Cisco routers. Candidates must be proficient with Cisco Edge Network Security (SENSS) topics.
