One common concern for users of the Cisco Firepower solution is what to do in the event of a network interruption or degradation that appears to be related to the Firepower solution. In this lab participants will learn troubleshooting methodologies for evaluating data-path issues within the Firepower platform including Firepower Series 3 NGIPs, ASA with Firepower Services, Firepower Threat Defense (FTD), and FXOS. This session will provide the participants with a framework to identify which portion of Firepower services is contributing to the problem and how to quickly mitigate issues identified. This framework will cover the entirety of the data-path from packet ingress through deep packet inspection including Snort rule and preprocessor performance. This lab will cover both Snort 2.9 and Snort 3 and the differences between them. This lab will contain troubleshooting scenarios using Virtual Firepower Threat Defense (vFTD) to implement the troubleshooting framework. Additionally, this lab will briefly touch on the SecureX Secure Firewall integration.

Leo Cruz, Technical Solutions Architect, Cisco Systems, Inc.

Is your team prepared for the next supply chain attack or the next zero day? Reality check! We are all under attack, every day and we will all eventually be compromised! For this reason, your organization needs to be Cyber Resilient. Cyber resilience refers to an organization's ability to identify, respond, and recover swiftly from an IT security incident. Building cyber resilience includes making a risk-focused plan that assumes the business will at some point face a breach or an attack. In this lab, you will experience cyber security attacks in an enterprise lab environment where you play attacker and defender and learn, first-hand, why you need highly integrated security solutions and CyberOps skills to be Cyber Resilient.

Cisco's Unified Agent: Cisco Secure Client. Bringing AMP, AnyConnect, Orbital & Umbrella together - BRKSEC-2834

Aaron Woland, Distinguished Engineer, Cisco Systems, Inc. - Distinguished Speaker

We have all heard the complaints or did the complaining ourselves: "Cisco has too many agents".

Come learn from Aaron Woland, CCIE #20113 and Cisco Live Distinguished Speaker Hall of Fame Elite; while he shows you that Cisco listened to the complaints and has delivered the first iteration of a unified security agent: Cisco Secure Client.

Cisco Secure Client (CSC) provides a modular framework allowing for AnyConnect VPN, Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly AMP for Endpoints), Network Visibility Module, Umbrella Cloud Security, ISE Posture, Secure Firewall Posture (formerly Hostscan) and the Network Access Module (NAM) to all exist together; with a modern cloud-based management coming from SecureX - connected intimately with SecureX device insights.

In this session, we will dive into the technology behind the Secure Client, how things really work and how they do not. We will cover deployments models from the cloud and using your own software deployment mechanisms. We will learn all about the seamless upgrade flows from existing AnyConnect and Secure Endpoint (AMP) agents. We will talk about scenarios where it makes sense to upgrade to CSC and scenarios where it truly benefits you to stay with the existing AnyConnect and Secure Endpoint (AMP) agents - at least for now.

Come spend some time with Aaron & be entertained while learning all about this exciting development from Cisco Security.

Cisco XDR with Email: Protect, Analyze and Evolve the SMTP Conversation - BRKSEC-2095

Robert Sherwin, Technical Leader, Cisco Systems, Inc. - Distinguished Speaker

Email is known as the weakest link in a business network and in less than two minutes provides hackers and actors an open door leading to a compromise or breach. Email is a primary vector for malware infection because it effortlessly puts malicious payloads in front of the user and is only one click away from exploitation. Beyond just delivering malware, attackers are more sophisticated than ever at crafting and generating phishing links that look just like the services they are impersonating. Cisco Secure Email is evolving how eXtended Detection and Response targets these threat vectors and secures your SMTP conversations.
