Course Overview
Security is often an afterthought (sometimes after an incident), rather than as an essential IT Service that enables business to happen reliably and with agility. The right way to start a security discussion with customers is to lead with the business value of Cisco’s security solutions.
The Business Led Security Selling Workshop enables Cisco and Partner AM’s to position Cisco security solutions as a business enabler. It is an interactive workshop, in which the students work through different aspects of a case study to identify the key business opportunities, potential solutions and the associated security risks. Using this information, students form a proposition, positioning Cisco security solutions as a positive benefit to enable the customer’s business objectives to be met.
