FIREPOWER200 – Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower Threat Defense NGFW

Short Course Description

5 Day

Course Overview

This course is part of a portfolio of security courses designed to help businesses support and maintain their Cisco Firepower Threat Defense systems. In this course, you will learn about next-generation intrusion prevention system (NGIPS) and next-generation firewall (NGFW) security concepts. This five-day class will begin with an introduction to the system architecture, the latest major features, and the role of policies in implementing the solution. In this Cisco FirePower Threat Defense training, you will learn how to deploy and manage Cisco Firepower Threat Defense devices and perform basic Cisco Firepower discovery. This NGFW training teaches students to use and configure Threat Defense technology, including application control, security intelligence, NGFW, NGIPS, and network-based malware and file controls. Also, you will learn how to take advantage of powerful tools, so you can perform more efficient event analysis, including the detection of file types and network-based malware. And you’ll learn how to properly tune systems for better performance and greater network intelligence. This Cisco FirePower200 training concludes with system and user administration tasks and Threat Defense system troubleshooting. Find additional course details below.
