At a Glance: Cisco FirePOWER Threat Defense for ISR
Bob the Training Guy – Your Resource for All Cisco and VMware Training [email protected]
Secure Your Branch and Remote Offices
Enterprise-level risks in today’s branch offices require enterprise-level security. While you deal with BYOD, compliance requirements, and the increasing use of direct Internet access (DIA) in your distributed sites, you also have to defend them against advanced persistent threats.
You can do that by using Cisco’s industry-leading threat protection capabilities, which now run on an additional platform: Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISRs). Cisco FirePOWER Threat Defense for ISR extends enterprise-level threat protection beyond traditional network edge and data center deployments to help protect your DIA traffic.
Now you can capitalize on the cost savings and improved user experiences of branch DIA, while better protecting devices and hosts against advanced threats wherever they reside: in branches, partner locations, and other remote sites.
Benefits
Take advantage of direct Internet access (DIA) in branches while keeping your connections secure.
Deliver multilayered threat protection to your branch, partner, and remote offices.
Free up valuable real estate with router and security technology in one consolidated footprint.
Implement a clear division of roles and responsibilities using a centralized management console.
“Using a tuned policy, the FirePOWER 8350 blocked 99.5 percent of exploits. The device proved effective against all evasion techniques tested. The device also passed all stability and reliability tests.”
Aim for ‘Security Everywhere’
Cisco FirePOWER Threat Defense for ISR is a component of the Cisco “security everywhere” strategy. The goal is to give you the continuous visibility and control you need to defeat advanced threats across your environment. A integrated set of security features work together to help keep your remote operations secure:
FirePOWER Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention System (NGIPS) sets the standard for advanced threat protection, integrating realtime contextual awareness, intelligent security automation, and industry leading threat prevention.
Application Visibility and Control shrinks the potential attack surface through precise control of thousands of applications and by enforcing mobile app, social media app, and acceptable use policies.
Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) for Networks protects against highly sophisticated, targeted, zero-day attacks and persistent advanced malware threats.
Reputation-based URL Filtering mitigates sophisticated client-side attacks by controlling access to more than 280 million URLs in more than 80 categories, minimizing risks associated with suspicious and unacceptable domains.
FireSIGHT Management Center provides centralized event and policy management along with visibility into the devices, operating systems, applications, and users running in your network.

Yesterday, we discussed why you should move from Cisco Secure Access Control System (ACS) to Cisco Identity Services Engine AKA ISE (see my blog post At-a-Glance: Migrating from Cisco Secure ACS to Cisco ISE).
Today we will discuss what ISE is.
Lets start with this 5 minute video by Cisco where you will learn the fundamentals of Cisco ISE.
Do you have a lot of BYOD in your network (Bring Your Own Device)? In this next 8 minute video by Imran Bashir, Technical Marketing Manager from Cisco, (LinkedIn) he will discuss how ISE will automatically detects that the device as a personal device vs. a network device and will then register that device.
Do you have guests connect to your network? Then you need to see this 3 minute video from Cisco on how ISE will allow guest users access to your network.
For a 13 minute demo on network visibility, watch this video in which Ziad Sarieddine, Marketing Technical Manager at Cisco (LinkedIn) will show you how ISE manages network visibility.
Our final video today is a 4 minute ISE demo from Cisco Live 2015.
There have it, ISE in a nutshell.
