Implementing Automation for Cisco Security Solutions
(CPLL-SAUI-V1)
The Implementing Automation for Cisco Security Solutions (SAUI) v1.0 course teaches you how to design advanced automated security solutions for your network.
Through a combination of lessons and hands-on labs, you will master the use of modern programming concepts, RESTful application programming interfaces (APIs), data models, protocols, firewalls, web, Domain Name System (DNS), cloud, email security, and Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) to strengthen cybersecurity for your web services, network, and devices. You will learn to work within the following platforms: Cisco Firepower® Management Center, Cisco Firepower Threat Defense, Cisco ISE, Cisco pxGrid, Cisco Stealthwatch® Enterprise, Cisco Stealthwatch Cloud, Cisco Umbrella®, Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), Cisco Threat grid, and Cisco Security Management Appliances. This course will teach you when to use the API for each Cisco security solution to drive network efficiency and reduce complexity.
This course helps you prepare for the Automating and Programming Cisco Security Solutions (300-735 SAUTO) certification exam.
Associated Certification: CCNP Security, Cisco Certified DevNet Professional
Associated Exam: 300-735 SAUTO
