The Security Certified Network Specialist (SCNS) is the newest certification in the Security Certified Program (SCP). This certification is the starting point with the SCP, a required pre-requisite for going further towards the SCNP and SCNA certifications.

The SCNS focuses on the critical defensive technologies that are the foundation of securing network perimeters, such as firewalls, intrusion detection, and router security. This certification tests the candidates ability to work with, and implement, real world security technology.

The Tactical Perimeter Defense course is designed to provide network administrators and certification candidates with hands-on tasks on the most fundamental perimeter security technologies. The network perimeter is often the first line of defense in an organization's network, and this course covers the issues every administrator must be familiar with.
