Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Security (UCSEC) V1.0

Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Security (UCSEC) V1.0 is a new 5-day ILT class designed to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to implement security features in a Cisco Unified Communications environment. Cisco Unified Communications support several features and mechanisms to secure voice signaling and communications and to mitigate attacks against Cisco Unified Communications networks. The Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Security (UCSEC) v1.0 course introduces security mechanisms and describes different implementation scenarios that increase the security level of Cisco Unified Communications networks. 

The software applications covered in this course include: – Cisco Unified Communications Manager version 8.5 – Cisco IOS Software Release v15.1(3)T at routers, Cisco IOS Software Release 2.2.55(SE1) at switches – Cisco ASA adaptive security appliance Release 8.3 – Cisco Secure Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) version 5.2.
