Essential Firepower: Your best practice guide to configuring Cisco's Next Generation Firewall

By Mr. Alex Tatistcheff and Alex Tatistcheff

Book Overview

This book is focused on Firepower essentials. In it, you will find practical, best practice recommendations for configuring and using Firepower. Each best practice is listed in the table of contents so you can quickly find it along with an explanation of why it is important.

Essential Firepower will help you learn how to effectively configure and use this system, what is important, and what is not. The best way to use this book is to read each of the recommendations with their associated explanation and decide if they are right for you. Not every recommendation will be applicable to your Firepower deployment. However, you will find that most will provide valuable real-world information and insight into the type of tuning that will bring out the true value and potential of your Firepower system.

The goal of this book is not to be just another tome on the switches, knobs and dials available to configure and tune the Firepower NGFW. The primary focus is to provide pragmatic, real-life information and advice to network and security administrators who use this system day-to-day. You will get the benefit of the author's 14 years of experience as a user, instructor and consultant with the Sourcefire 3D and FireSIGHT/Firepower system.

If you are ready to learn the practical application of Firepower technology, and to gain understanding you won't get from the official documentation, then this book is for you.
