This course helps you prepare to take the exam, Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower (300-710 SNCF), which leads to CCNP Security and Cisco Certified Specialist – Network Security Firepower certifications. The 300-710 SNCF exam has a second preparation course as well, Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention System (SSFIPS). You can take these courses in any order.

The 300-710 SNCF exam certifies your knowledge of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense and Firepower, including policy configurations, integrations, deployments, management, and troubleshooting.

After you pass 300-710 SNCF:

• You earn the Cisco Certified Specialist - Network Security Firepower certification.
• You will have satisfied the concentration exam requirement for the new CCNP Security certification. To complete your CCNP Security, you also need to pass the Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (350-701 SCOR) exam or its equivalent.

Prerequisites

• Knowledge of TCP/IP and basic routing protocols
• Familiarity with firewall, VPN, and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) concepts
