This course is the official courseware for the Security Certified Program SC0-451 certification exam. 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.

What is the Security Certified Program (SCP)?

Security Certified Program is both our company name and our program name. Security Certified Program, LLC a Chicago-based security training organization, has created the Security Certified Program (SCP) to help develop and validate your skills as a computer and network security professional. The SCP courses and certifications are designed not just around knowledge-based theory, like so many others, rather around the actual technical skills required by practitioners.

The SCP structure is unique as it measures competence in core security skills as well as skills needed for specific security technologies, such as Packet Structure, Signature Analysis, Operating System Hardening, Router Security, Firewalls, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), Intrusion Detection, Risk Analysis, Wireless Security, Digital Signatures and Certificates, Cryptography, Biometrics and Network Forensics.

The SCP certifications include three vendor-neutral security certifications. The first certification is the Security Certified Network Specialist (SCNS), the next certification is Security Certified Network Professional (SCNP), and the third is Security Certified Network Architect (SCNA).
