Meet ENNA, the New Cisco Enterprise Network Assurance Specialist Certification

Imagine having visibility into the internet—including cloud and service providers—and being able to measure the impact on your applications, services, and users. Such visibility could help you run your network optimally and securely—within business parameters—while also monitoring the health of that network in the cloud and through your network operations center (NOC).

Little did I know then that this achievement was just…

Intern to DevNet Professional Certification: My Personal Journey

Intern to DevNet Professional Certification: My Personal Journey

In 2020, I joined Cisco fresh out of college, which just so happened to align with the inaugural year of the Cisco DevNet certification track.
