Legacy solutions can’t protect next-gen data cen ters\, campus\, branch\, or IoT networks. Cisco’s Hybrid Mesh Firewall d elivers AI-ready\, pervasive firewalling—integrated across switches\, cl ouds\, containers\, and workloads for dynamic threat protection. As infras tructures evolve for AI\, Cisco’s solution weaves protection into every layer\, with unified cloud management\, flexible licensing\, and zero trus t segmentation. It empowers modernization while ensuring security. Cisco S ecure Firewall\, part of the Hybrid Mesh Firewall solution\, provides adva nced threat protection and operational excellence across all environments. Its advanced AI and machine learning enable smarter threat detection\, wh ile AIOps and real-time malware lookups simplify management and performanc e. About this Lab This lab covers the key tasks required to bring a ne wly installed FMC and FTD to an operational state. It is intended to walk the user through the various tasks required to ensure you have a functiona l and secure firewall. There are a number of scenarios available which are outlined below. Users should start at the beginning which will take you t hrough initial setup of the FMC\, device registration\, zone and interface setup\, routing and NAT policies. You can then proceed to configuring thr eat protection such as Discovery policy\, Intrusion policy using Snort 3\, Malware &\; File policy\, Security Intelligence\, Decryption policy an d finally Access Control rules and advanced settings. To accomplish these labs\, we will use the dCloud lab environment. There are a number of VMs d eployed including Firewall Management Center FMC\, FTD devices\, as well a s Windows Domain Controllers and other Windows and Linux hosts.
