Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Security (UCSEC)

Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Security (UCSEC) is a five-day class that is designed to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to implement security features in a Cisco Unified Communications environment. Cisco Unified Communications support several features and mechanisms to secure voice signaling and communications and to mitigate attacks against Cisco Unified Communications networks. The Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Security (UCSEC) course introduces security mechanisms and describes different implementation scenarios that increase the security level of Cisco Unified Communications networks.
