The Implementing Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) v7.0 course is an instructor-led course presented by Cisco training partners to their end-user customers. This five-day course aims at providing you with the knowledge and skills needed to deploy Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)-based security solutions. You will be able to reduce risk to the IT infrastructure and applications using Cisco IPS features, and provide detailed operations support for the Cisco IPS.

This course is focused on arming you with the fundamentals of configuring network Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPSs), with a focus on implementing this on Cisco IPS devices. You will benefit from receiving the fundamentals within the context of a hands-on immersion into doing IPS design and administration on real Cisco IPS devices.
