Cisco DoD Comply-to-Connect (C2C)

In this Cisco DoD Comply-to-Connect (C2C) comprehensive, hands-on course has an exploration of Cisco C2C (Cisco-to-Cisco) security integrations and Cisco Identity Services Engine, focusing on identity-driven access control, endpoint visibility, compliance enforcement, and ecosystem integrations. It is designed for network and security professionals who need to implement and operate advanced identity-based security solutions across complex enterprise environments. The course progresses from foundational concepts into advanced design, integration, and operational troubleshooting. Students begin by examining Cisco Identity-Based Networking Services and Cisco ISE architecture and deployment models, establishing a strong foundation in how authentication, authorization, and accounting are enforced across wired and wireless networks. The curriculum then advances into policy configuration, PKI and certificate-based authentication, endpoint profiling, and posture compliance, emphasizing how identity, device context, and security posture drive dynamic access decisions.
