Students with previous knowledge of managing cybersecurity operations or Check Point products.

This fast track also prepares for the CCSA and CCSE certification.

Previous experience is recommended:

• General knowledge of TCP/IP
• Experience with Windows and/or UNIX, Network Technology and the Internet.
• Experience in managing cybersecurity operations or Check Point products.

 

CCSA - Check Point Certified Security Administrator (exam 156-215.81)

The CCSA is the first certification that shows you have the ability to install Check Point's most popular product, the FireWall-1, and use it to protect your corporate network. You will also be able to define and implement security policies, ensuring secure access to corporate information.

CCSE - Check Point Certified Security Expert (exam 156-315.81)

The CCSE is almost an industry standard for Internet security. It gives you the knowledge and experience to configure the VPN-1/FireWall-1 as an Internet security solution for the entire corporate network. Users can gain access to this network via a Virtual Private Network and exchange information - both on the road and between different branches. You will also be introduced in detail to encryption techniques as well as anti-virus measures.
