Automating Cisco Security Management Solutions Using APIs
A comprehensive security architecture should include network, endpoint, and application security/visibility techniques. This course will teach you how to deploy Cisco ISE, Stealthwatch, and SMA to reinforce your cyber defenses.
What you'll learn
Even after you've secured your networks and endpoints, a key question remains: What about the applications used by the business? How can we observe them and how can we control network access to them? In this course, Automating Cisco Security Management Solutions Using APIs, you'll explore Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) which provides wired and wireless network access control using the pxGrid and REST APIs. Next, you'll discover how to improve application visibility using the Netflow-based Cisco Stealthwatch family of products, helping you identify anomalies for analysis both in enterprise and cloud networks. Finally, you'll learn how to provide application-level security for common enterprise services such as web and email using Cisco Security Management Appliance (SMA) with the Email Security Appliance (ESA) and Web Security Appliance (WSA). When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge necessary to automate a variety of Cisco security management solutions in your production network.
