Cisco: Implementing Cisco Intrusion Prevention (IPS) Systems: V6

Product Description

Given an example of Cisco's defence in depth, delegates will be taught how Cisco IPS protects network devices from attacks. Given an IPS sensor appliance, the delegates will learn to install the appliance in the network & initialise it. Delegates will also learn how to use IDS Device Manager (IDM) to configure basic sensor settings & to configure built-in signatures to meet the requirements of a given security policy. They will learn the functions of signature engines & their parameters & will understand how to use IDM to tune & create signatures to meet the requirements of a given security policy.

Delegates will be taught how to use IDM to tune a sensor to work optimally in the network. They will also use the Monitoring Centre for Security & Cisco Threat Response to maximize alarm management efficiency. The course explains blocking concepts & how to use IDM to configure blocking for a given scenario. The delegates will be learn how to install both the NM-CIDS in a router & initialise it, install the module in a Cisco Catalyst 6500 Switch & initialise it using the switch to capture network traffic for intrusion prevention analysis. The delegates will also install & recover the sensor software image & perform service pack & signature updates & will also verify system configuration using the CLI & IDM.
