In this course, administrators of medium-to-large network sites will learn to use advanced routing to provide scalability for Cisco routers that are connected to LANs and WANs. Networking professionals will learn to dramatically increase the number of routers and sites using these techniques instead of redesigning the network when additional sites or wiring configurations are added. Hands-on labs ensure you thoroughly understand how to implement advanced routing within your network.
Attendees to N-405: ROUTE-Implementing Cisco IP Routing will receive TechNow approved course materials and expert instruction.

Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC), is for professionals responsible for an organization's risk management program. Students looking to acquire CRISC qualify themselves as IT security analyst, security engineer architect, information assurance program manager and senior IT auditor. CRISC certified professionals manage risk, design and oversee response measures, monitor systems for risk, and ensure the organization's risk management strategies are met.
The CRISC exam will primarily align with the terminology and concepts described in The Risk IT Framework, The Risk IT Practioner Guide, and COBIT 5. This will include applications in the evaluation and monitoring of IT-based risk, as well as the design and implementation of IS controls.
The CRISC exam covers four domains that are periodically updated to reflect the changing needs of the profession:
Domain 1: Risk Identification
Domain 2: Risk Assessment
Domain 3: Risk Response and Mitigation
Domain 4: Risk and Control Monitoring and Reporting
This course is designed to assist in your exam preparation for the CRISC exam.
Attendees to TN-835: Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) Seminar will receive TechNow approved course materials and expert instruction.
