CCSA is a foundation level certification that validates a candidates ability to configure and manage fundamental implementations of Check Point`s flagship product, FireWall-1, as an enterprise level Internet security solution to protect corporate networks. As a CCSA, security professionals possess the requisite skills to define and configure security policies that enable secure access to information across corporate networks. In addition to these essential skills, CCSAs also have the ability to monitor network security activity and implement measures to block intruder access to networks.
