Implementing Cisco SD-WAN Security and Cloud Solutions (SDWSCS)

The Implementing Cisco SD-WAN Security and Cloud Solutions (SDWSCS) training teaches you advanced knowledge and skills related to Cisco software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) security and cloud services. Through a series of labs and lectures, you will learn about on-box security services, including application-aware enterprise firewall, intrusion prevention, URL filtering, malware protection, and Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Secure Socket Layer (SSL) decryption. You will also learn about cloud integration with multiple cloud service providers across multiple use cases.

Additionally, the labs will allow you to configure and deploy local security services and cloud security services with the Cisco Umbrella Secure Internet Gateway (SIG), as well as integrate the Cisco SD-WAN fabric with a cloud service provider using the Cisco vManage automated workflows.
