Course Overview
This course covers intermediate security concepts and prepares you for the ACP - Network Security (ACP-NS) certification exam. This training will help administrators use the HPE Aruba Networking portfolio to implement a Zero Trust Security (ZTS) protection model for their networks. Attending the course will teach you how to:
- Configure HPE Aruba Networking infrastructure with ClearPass solutions to authenticate/control both wired & wireless users, as well as remote users through Security Service Edge (SSE).
- Collect contextual information with ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) & implement advanced role mapping as well as enforcement policies.
- Use ClearPass Device Insight to enhance visibility.
- Set up features such as the AOS-CX Network Analytics Engine (NAE), HPE Aruba Networking Wireless IDS/IPS (WIDS/WIPS), & gateway IDS/IPS.
- Investigate alerts.
