CCSE certification is recognized as the industry standard for Internet security certifications. CCSEs possess the knowledge and expertise to configure VPN-1/FireWall-1 as an Internet security solution and virtual private network (VPN) that securely connects corporate offices and remote workers, protecting information exchange and granting access to network resources. CCSE training and testing builds on CCSA training by including an in depth study of encryption technologies and how to implement site-to-site and remote access VPNs. CCSEs are also tested for skills to configure content security by enabling Java blocking and anti-virus checking.
