Secure Firewall Overview and Use Cases

Hi, everyone, in this video we explore Cisco secure Firewall and you will still learn how to leverage these benefits and practical use cases to enhance your security posture. With an expanding attacks.00:05Surface hybrid work models, and cloud adoption. The need of visibility into data, devices and applications running in on prem and cloud are key. Cisco secure Firewall is a strong reliable line of defense. The Cisco secure Firewall solution is composed of a traffic sensing device that is installing network segments.00:20To control and monitor the traffic based on the policies assigned, which is the secure firewall, threat defense or FT, a software from Cisco that is deployed onto secure firewall hardware or virtually in private or public cloud environments. We can have multiple ftds deployed across multiple sites.00:40There are different management options from on prem to cloud. The FMC, the secure firewall Management Center. It's an unboxed platform where you will create and manage your policies across multiple ftds and where you will also view events generated by these ftds. In dashboards and events menu, you can manage policies.01:00Consistently from one place reducing complexity and saving time. Another component is the threat protection features. These are next generation functionalities that are enabled on the ftds using licenses. These are threat or IPS licenses. For intelligence capabilities power.01:20Powered by Cisco Talos. Intrusion policies featurering snort, currently SN free malware defense licenses provide advanced capabilities to detect and block malware and other threats contained within files, traversing networks, URL filtering, and licenses for category and reputation based filtering.01:40Another component is the Intel feed provided by Telus and also being able to add additional threat feed using the threat intelligence director that opens the systems to 3rd party intelligence. Finally, an important component is the integrations. Secure firewall, integrates with many solutions and services.01:59Such as identity sources, external logging solutions. Teams vulnerability vendors, and with solutions like Cisco SDR to help tech ops teams to reduce their time detecting and responding to threats. Depending on your specific requirement.02:19A Cisco secure Firewall can cover multiple use cases including internet edge, data center, branch cloud, virtual protection, also VPN type to site and remote access. This makes it a flexible, scalable choice for diverse network environments. Cisco secure Firewall comes with a suite of strong security features and functions that.02:39Makes it an optimal solution for the various types of needs.02:59One of the most common use cases is internet edge protection. In addition to classic firewall functions that come with this secure firewall, you also gain the ability to build your policy based on layer seven identities, applications, URLs, and files. You can configure your firewall to perform.03:07Super inspection of the traffic with snort. Or checking for harmful files for your network, they're able to block potential threats fast. Using threat intelligence. You also gain the ability to decrypt encrypted traffic for thorough inspection or even increase visibility of encrypted traffic using an encrypted visibility and.03:25Engine.03:45All these features give us fine policy and control. Then with VPN on Cisco secure Firewall, you'll configure site to site and remote access VPN policies to establish tunnels and protect data integrity and privacy through your network environment. It is also important to note that it.03:46It is not simply about control across your network. Visibility is also crucial and it is available through the secure firewall Management Center as well. The FMC provides a variety of dashboards and reports to configure, monitor, and send alerts. This management also provides a broad view of availability.04:06Hence from many security solutions, so you can readily evaluate the status of your network security and internet apps. Cisco secure Firewall's core value is helping organizations to achieve multiple outcomes. E.g., safeguarding users.04:26Applications, data and devices against threats, delivering a consistently secure and reliable connection, and ensuring clear management and visibility into network threats across diverse sites. This can assist you in achieving your business outcomes. Additionally technical outcomes such as direct internet access and protection.04:46Section of DMC applications and services. Established two site connectivity with enhanced visibility and control by using granular policy and control capabilities, virtual private network security, management, and visibility.05:06Cisco secure Firewall can help your organization to protect its workloads with world class security controls. Streamlined security policy and device management for consistent policy and visibility. An extended network security beyond the firewall will provide robust integration capabilities. Thank you.05:26Thanks for watching.05:46
