Network security has never been more challenging. Cisco Next-Generation Network Security products and solutions can help network security administrators achieve and maintain the visibility and control they need to combat today's rapidly evolving threats. Cisco ASA appliances combine the industry's most widely-deployed firewall with a comprehensive suite of next-generation network security services, many built on technology acquired from Sourcefire. In Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP): Next-Generation Network Security, a team of Cisco network security experts introduce these technologies and offer detailed guidance for designing, configuring, managing, and troubleshooting them. The authors provide everything network professionals need to succeed with these products: easy-to-follow configurations, application case studies, practical triage and troubleshooting methodologies, and more. Coverage includes:
- Fundamentals of Cisco's Next-Generation Network Security
- Understanding Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services and designing solutions based on it
- Configuring and troubleshooting Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services
