Cisco Secure Workload Firewall Enforcement Agents, Data Flow Mapping, and Advanced Policy Deployment [N1_(CSWADV)]

OVERVIEW

Cisco Secure Workload Firewall Enforcement Agents, Data Flow Mapping, and Advanced Policy Deployment, CSWADV, is a 5-day course exploring telemetry data, the flows corpus, and how Cisco Secure Workload Firewall Agent provides enforcement. This course will provide the details and hands-on activities necessary to successfully deploy, manage, and troubleshoot policies in Cisco Secure Workload.

The course qualifies for 40 Cisco Continuing Education Credits (CE).

Virtual Learning

This interactive training can be taken from any location, your office or home and is delivered by a trainer. This training does not have any delegates in the class with the instructor, since all delegates are virtually connected. Virtual delegates do not travel to this course, Global Knowledge will send you all the information needed before the start of the course and you can test the logins.
