SSNGFW – Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower Next-Generation Firewall

The Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower Next-Generation Firewall (SSNGFW) v1.0 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.

After taking this course, you should be able to:

Describe key concepts of NGIPS and NGFW technology and the Cisco Firepower Threat Defense system, and identify deployment scenarios
Perform initial Cisco Firepower Threat Defense device configuration and setup tasks
Describe how to manage traffic and implement quality of service (QoS) using Cisco Firepower Threat Defense
Describe how to implement NAT by using Cisco Firepower Threat Defense
Perform an initial network discovery, using Cisco Firepower to identify hosts, applications, and services
Describe the behaviour, usage, and implementation procedure for access control policies
Describe the concepts and procedures for implementing security intelligence features
