FAQs

What will you learn in this next generation Cisco security training?

This training covers how to monitor, operate and troubleshoot Cisco Firepower Threat Defense. You'll learn specialty knowledge necessary for advanced operation of Cisco next-generation firewalls and intrusion prevention system. You'll spend most of your time learning deployment and configuration, but also spend time learning management, troubleshooting and integration of next-gen firewalls and IPS.

Who should take this Cisco Firepower cybersecurity course?

There are two primary audiences for this course. First, anyone planning to earn CCNP Security.

Is this training in cybersecurity administration associated with any certifications?

Yes, after you complete this training, you'll be prepared for 300-710 SNCF, which is one of the concentration exams for the CCNP Security. You won't be prepared for the entirety of the CCNP Security, as that also requires passing 350-701 SCOR (implementing and operating Cisco core technologies), but you'll be halfway there.

What certification should you consider after taking this course in Cisco Next-Generation security administration?

The CCNP Security would be the logical cert to try for after finishing this course. You can take this course and simply learn the best ways to manage and operate Cisco's next-generation firewalls and intrusion prevention system, but if a certification would help you advance your career, you should consider the CCNP Security.

Why should you take this Cisco Firepower Next Generation administration training?

You should take this course and learn to manage Cisco's next generation firewalls and intrusion prevention systems because they're some of the most powerful threat defense and traffic control tools available on the market today. You become a much more valuable cybersecurity professional when you understand the inner workings of Cisco Firepower.
