In this guided, hands-on course, you'll explore how to design, deploy, and validate a modern Zero Trust Access solution using Cisco Secure Access. Throughout the lab, you’ll take on the role of an administrator for a fictional organization, PseudoCo, as you configure secure connectivity between remote users and private applications hosted in a secure data center.
What You’ll Learn:
How to onboard private data center routers and create Network Tunnel Groups (NTGs)
How to integrate Active Directory and Duo Security with Secure Access for identity-based access control
How to implement SAML-based authentication for Zero Trust proxy workflows
How to validate route propagation, tunnel health, and user access through CLI and dashboard tools
How to integrate ThousandEyes for performance visibility
Lab Format:
Step-by-step guided tasks using virtual lab infrastructure
CLI verification, dashboard workflows, and real-world attack simulation scenarios
Knowledge check questions and reflection activities to reinforce learning
