Course Overview
thinQtank® Learning is offering a unique nine-day training camp comprised of five days of instructor-led learning for Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower Next Generation Firewall (SSNGFW) and Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower Next Generation IPS (SSFIPS). As with all of our Cisco Training Experiences - exams are delivered in the classroom.
SSNGFW
This portion of the course prepares students with the knowledge and skills to use and configure Cisco Firepower Threat Defense technology, beginning with initial device setup and configuration and including routing, high availability, Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) to Cisco Firepower Threat Defense migration, traffic control, and Network Address Translation (NAT). Students will learn how to implement advanced Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) and Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention System (NGIPS) features, including network intelligence, file type detection, network-based malware detection, and deep packet inspection. Students will also learn how to configure site-to-site VPN, remote-access VPN, and SSL decryption before moving on to detailed analysis, system administration, and troubleshooting.
SSFIPS
This portion of the course gives students the knowledge and skills to use the NGIPS platform features and includes firewall security concepts, platform architecture and key features; in-depth event analysis including detection of network-based malware and file type, NGIPS tuning and configuration including application control, security intelligence, firewall, and network-based malware and file controls; Snort rules language; file and malware inspection, security intelligence, and network analysis policy configuration designed to detect traffic patterns; configuration and deployment of correlation policies to take action based on events detected; troubleshooting; system and user administration tasks, and more.
This course helps students prepare to take the Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower (300-710 SNCF) exam, which leads to CCNP Security and Cisco Certified Specialist - Network Security Firepower certifications.
