Why Networkers Home for CCIE Security Training in Bangalore
Our CCIE Security training in Bangalore is built around Cisco's actual CCIE Security v6.1 lab environment — the same hardware (ASA 5500-X, Firepower 4100/9300, Catalyst 9400 with TrustSec, ISR/ASR routers running IOS XE) you will face in the lab exam at Cisco's RTP or Brussels facilities. Our trainers are CCIE-certified with 15+ years of enterprise security experience at Cisco's Cessna Business Park campus, Wipro's Whitefield security practice, and global GCCs operating from Manyata Tech Park.
The 6-month structured program covers all 350-701 SCOR domains in the first three months, then transitions to specialised modules (300-715 SISE, 300-730 SVPN) plus emerging cloud security topics (Tetration, Cloudlock, SASE). Months 5 and 6 are dedicated entirely to lab exam preparation — three full 8-hour timed mock labs with rack access via vpn.networkershome.com, exact replicas of the Cisco lab environment, plus 1:1 review sessions with our CCIE-certified mentors.
Bangalore is the right city to pursue CCIE Security. The R&D headquarters of Cisco India (developing SecureX, Umbrella, Secure Firewall), Palo Alto Networks (Bagmane Tech Park), and Check Point (Manyata) generate continuous demand for senior security architects. The 500+ Global Capability Centres across HSR Layout and Whitefield require CCIE-level skills for enterprise security architecture roles. Bangalore-based CCIE Security holders command 20–30% salary premiums over equivalent roles in Hyderabad or Pune.
Enrolment includes a free 12-month NHPREP.COM Pass (worth ₹29,999) covering CCNP Security mock exams, 350-701 SCOR practice tests, and SISE/SVPN concentration exam preparation — alongside 400 hours of dedicated rack access. Talk to a CCIE mentor to map your background to the right starting point: candidates with CCNP Security typically begin at Module 4, while those entering from CCNA Security backgrounds start at Module 1.
