Implementing Automation for Cisco Security Solutions (SAUI)

The Implementing Automation for Cisco Security Solutions (SAUI) training teaches you how to design advanced automated security solutions for your network. Through a combination of lessons and hands-on labs, you will learn the use of modern programming concepts, RESTful Application Program 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 training will teach you when to use the API for each Cisco security solution to drive network efficiency and reduce complexity.

This training prepares you for Automating and Programming Cisco Security Solutions (300-735 SAUTO) v1.1 certification exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified DevNet Specialist – Security Automation Programmability certification and satisfy the concentration exam requirements for the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Security and Cisco Certified DevNet Professional certifications. Introducing Automation for Cisco Solutions (CSAU) training is recommended prior to enrolling in this training because it provides crucial foundational knowledge essential to success.
