Overview
The Advanced Techniques for Cisco Firewall Threat Defense and Intrusion Prevention training shows you how to deploy and configure Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense system and its features as a data center network firewall or as an Internet Edge firewall with Virtual Private Network (VPN) support. You will learn how to configure identity-based policies, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) decryption, remote-access VPN, and site-to-site VPN before moving on to advanced Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) configuration and event management, integrations with other systems, and advanced troubleshooting.
You will also learn how to automate configuration and operations of Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense system using programmability and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and how to migrate configuration from Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliances (ASA).
This training prepares you for the 300-710 Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower (SNCF) exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified Specialist – Network Security Firepower certification and satisfy the concentration exam requirement for the Cisco Certified Networking Professional (CCNP) Security certification. This training also earns you 40 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
