Global Knowledge Offers Updated Cisco MARS Training Course

Global Knowledge, the worldwide leader in IT and Business training, today announced the launch of its updated Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System (MARS) training class where students learn to use MARS to identify, manage, and eliminate network attacks and maintain network compliance. Designed for Cisco customers and channel partners, this third and latest version of the course provides students one extra day for more real-world labs, network devices, and software applications. Where the standard MARS course uses preconfigured virtual devices, the Global Knowledge course uses actual equipment to prepare students for real-world scenarios. Incoming students should have a fundamental knowledge of implementing network security and working knowledge of routing and switching.

Working with MARS v4.3.4, students will learn MARS design solutions, features, and functions as they relate to security incidents and security information in an enterprise network. Students will learn about:
Basic physical installation
Adding Cisco and non-Cisco security and network devices into the MARS appliance
Attack mitigation and false positive confirmation
Configuring MARS to perform incident investigation and mitigation
Long-duration queries and reports on the MARS appliance
Configuring rules that detect interesting patterns of network activity
Case Management features
Configuring hardware maintenance
MARS interaction with Cisco Security Manager
Basic configuration of a Cisco IPS in Cisco Security Manager

This course is available in our classrooms or as a private, on-site course that can be tailored to the needs of your organization.
