Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower Next-Generation IPS (SSFIPS) Course Overview:
What you’ll learn in this course
The Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower Next-Generation IPS (SSFIPS) v4.0 course provides hands-on training on deploying and utilizing Cisco Firepower® Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention System (NGIPS). Participants will gain knowledge and skills in NGIPS features, event analysis, NGIPS tuning, configuration, Snort® rules language, file and malware inspection, security intelligence, network analysis policy configuration, correlation policies, troubleshooting, and system administration tasks.
This course helps you prepare to take the exam, Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower (300-710 SNCF), 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 Firewall (SSNGFW). You can take these courses in any order. This course also earns you 32 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification.
How you’ll benefit
This course will help you:
● Implement Cisco Firepower Next-Generation IPS to stop threats, address attacks, increase vulnerability prevention against suspicious files, and analyze for not-yet-identified threats
● Gain leading-edge skills focused on security
● Earn 32 CE credits for recertification
What to expect in the exam
The 300-SNCF exam certifies your knowledge of Cisco Firepower® Threat Defense and Firepower®, including
policy configurations, integrations, deployments, management, and troubleshooting.
After you pass 300-710 SNCF:
