Cisco ASA Express Security is a training course offered by Wiley that aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) platform. This course is designed for network engineers and administrators who need to secure network infrastructure using Cisco ASA devices.

The course is divided into different modules, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the ASA platform. These modules cover the basics of ASA deployment, configuring and managing security features, and troubleshooting network security issues. The course is designed to be practical and hands-on, with lab exercises that are aligned with real-world scenarios.

In the first module, students learn about the fundamentals of the ASA platform, including its architecture and high-level operation. They also learn about the different models in the ASA family and the features they offer. This module provides a good foundation for the rest of the course, as it covers the basics of ASA deployment.

In the second module, students dive deeper into the configuration and management of security features on the ASA platform. They learn about access control lists (ACLs), network address translation (NAT), and virtual private networks (VPNs). They also get hands-on experience configuring these features on the ASA platform, using both the command-line interface (CLI) and the graphical user interface (GUI).

The third module focuses on advanced security features, such as intrusion prevention, threat detection, and content filtering. Students learn about the different technologies that the ASA platform uses to detect and mitigate security threats. They also get hands-on experience configuring these features and tuning them for optimal performance.

The fourth module covers the troubleshooting of network security issues on the ASA platform. Students learn about the different tools and techniques they can use to diagnose and resolve security-related issues. They also gain experience troubleshooting common issues, such as connectivity and performance problems.

Throughout the course, students gain experience using the ASA platform to secure network infrastructure. They learn how to configure and manage security features, how to identify and mitigate security threats, and how to troubleshoot security-related issues. The course also covers best practices for securing network infrastructure using the ASA platform.

Overall, Cisco ASA Express Security from Wiley is an excellent training course for network engineers and administrators who need to secure network infrastructure using the ASA platform. The course is practical, hands-on, and provides a comprehensive understanding of the ASA platform. It is also aligned with real-world scenarios, making it an ideal choice for professionals who need to apply their skills in the workplace.
