CCNP - SDSI

Designing Cisco Security Infrastructure

Designing Cisco Security Infrastructure is a Cisco CCNP Security concentration exam that validates advanced skills in architecting secure, scalable, and resilient enterprise security solutions. The exam focuses on translating business and technical requirements into comprehensive security designs using Cisco technologies, including firewalls, identity services, cloud security platforms, and threat detection systems. Candidates are assessed on their ability to design secure access frameworks, integrate automation and DevSecOps principles, apply segmentation and policy enforcement, and incorporate visibility and threat response mechanisms across hybrid environments. SDSI is ideal for security architects and senior engineers responsible for building enterprise-grade security architectures.
