IMPORTANT!
This course has been retired and replaced by the new course:
SFWIPF: Fundamentals of Cisco Firewall Threat Defense and Intrusion Prevention
The Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower Next Generation Firewall (SSNGFW) course shows you how to deploy and use Cisco Firepower Threat Defense system. This hands-on course gives you 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). You 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. You 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.
How you will benefit
This class will help you:
- Implement Cisco Firepower NGFW to provide advanced threat protection before, during, and after attacks
- Gain leading-edge skills for high-demand responsibilities focused on security
- Prepare to take the exam 300-710 SNCF: Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower, which leads to CCNP Security and Cisco Certified Specialist – Network Security Firepower certifications.
The 300-710 SNCF exam has a second preparation course as well, Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention System (SSFIPS). You can take these courses in any order.
