SECACC - Administering and Troubleshooting Cisco Secure Access

Build practical skills to implement, operate, and optimize Cisco Secure Access, zero trust and SASE solutions across hybrid networks with visibility automation and security analytics.

This comprehensive 5 Day training program provides an end-to-end understanding of Cisco cloud security, with Cisco Secure Access as the central platform supporting Secure Internet Access, Secure Private Access, Zero Trust Access, and traditional VPN services. The course begins by establishing foundational knowledge of cloud security, the evolution of networking and security architectures, SASE concepts, and zero-trust principles, then transitions to hands-on management using Cisco Security Cloud Control. Learners gain deep exposure to Cisco Secure Access architecture, deployment planning, protocols, authentication, and core services such as SIA and SPA, followed by structured onboarding, subscription management, and initial configuration workflows. The curriculum expands to include managing virtual appliances across on-premises and cloud environments, implementing DNS Defense, and integrating identity via directories, Active Directory, and SAML providers to enable identity-driven access decisions. Advanced integrations with Cisco ISE, Catalyst SD-WAN, Meraki MX, and Cisco Secure Firewall demonstrate how Secure Access operates within hybrid enterprise networks. Learners then build operational expertise by configuring network connections, tunnels, Cisco Secure Client for Zero Trust Access, and VPN use cases, and managing networks, objects, and security settings, including posture, IPS, malware protection, decryption, and data loss prevention. The course culminates in in-depth policy creation for SIA, SPA, and ZTA; visibility through Digital Experience Insights and ThousandEyes; extensive monitoring, logging, reporting, and troubleshooting workflows; and, finally, automation and intelligence using Secure Access APIs and AI. By the end, learners are equipped to design, deploy, secure, monitor, automate, and optimize Cisco Secure Access in real-world enterprise environments while supporting modern zero-trust and SASE strategies at scale.
