Description:

In this workshop, we’ll be covering the new Cisco Firepower Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), the industry’s first fully integrated, threat-focused NGFW, which can stop more threats, mitigate advanced threats more quickly, and simplify operations. We’ll take a quick look at the new hardware family designed to support this new technology and provide a demonstration of the unified management console that delivers on our long-time promise to unify the ASA firewall, next-generation IPS, and advanced threat capabilities. Following Cisco’s before, during, and after model, we’ll show firewall and application control configuration, intrusion prevention configuration, and advanced threat configurations that stop new threats retrospectively; all from a single management console.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • A history of Cisco's NGFW evolution
  • An overview of the new NGFW appliances
  • A demonstration of the new unified management console
