Securing Networks with ASA Advanced (SNAA) — A 5-day course

* Open Public Course* Closed In-House Course

Synopsis

In this authorized Cisco SNAA course, you will take your knowledge and skills on configuring, maintaining, and operating Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security to the next level. Recommended training for the Cisco Certified Security Professional (CCSP) certification, SNAA takes over where SNAF leaves off, covering advanced topics of Adaptive Security.

We have added depth to the existing Cisco-developed hands-on labs for SNAA. Our advanced hands-on labs, delivered in an enhanced topology designed to simulate a typical production network, guide you through exercises such as managing digital certificates for IPSec and SSL VPNs, deep packet inspection, and using the 5505 in the SOHO environment.

Our labs utilize ASA 5520 security appliances, though this course and lab content is applicable across the ASA and PIX families of security appliances, since the command syntax is generally the same. This course covers the features and syntax of Cisco Security Appliance Software v8.0.

Securing Networks with ASA Advanced (SNAA) v1.0 is a new course to replace the Cisco Secure Virtual Private Networks (CSVPN) & Securing Networks with PIX and ASA (SNPA) courses. In order to cover new features in ASA software version 8.0 and to fully cover the VPN features of the ASA, the content of SNPA was split into two courses, one that covers the fundamentals and on that covers more advanced topics. Content that has been moved to SNAA includes the following: configuring the ASA 5505 dual-ISP support, configuring ASA 5505 VLANs, configuring policy NAT, installing and configuring the Cisco Secure Desktop, configuring the security appliance to pass multicast traffic, configuring Layer 7 class maps and policy maps, and initializing the AIP-SSM and CSC-SSM. SNAA also utilizes the graphical user interface instead of the command line interface for explanation and discussions of configuring the ASA. The SNAA 1.0 course takes a task-oriented approach to teaching the skills to deploy, configure, and administer the Cisco ASA using a fictional company’s deployment of an ASA which is based on real world scenarios.
