🚀 Why Study CCNA Cyber Ops?

As of recent statistics, there is an estimated 1.5 million unfilled jobs in cyber security by the year 2020, which increased to a staggering 3.5 million by the year 2021! 📈 This alarming gap in the market underscores the critical need for skilled professionals in this field. Cisco Systems, recognizing this demand, has created the CCNA Cyber Ops certification, highlighting its importance through a scholarship program aimed at fostering a new generation of cyber security experts.

🌍 Build More Than Just Skills - Build Confidence!

In this course, you'll not only learn about the essential tools for the CCNA Cyber Ops certification but also how to create your own home labs from scratch. Unlike courses that merely show you how to use tools without teaching you the foundation behind setting them up, this course emphasizes the importance of understanding the entire process, from creation to application.

🎓 "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." This adage is at the heart of this course's approach. By learning how to build your own home labs, you gain the ability to continue practicing and experimenting independently, ensuring that you're not just ready for online labs but also for any hands-on Cyber Ops courses in the future.

✍️ How to Use This Course:

While students have the flexibility to jump directly to specific sections like ELSA and Sguil, it's advisable to skim over all sections for a well-rounded understanding of the course content. This approach will ensure that you have a solid foundation across all tools and technologies covered in the course.
