ANM HMF RTP Workshop

The Hybrid Mesh Firewall: Project Meteor workshop is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to modernize firewall strategies using Cisco’s Hybrid Mesh Firewall technology. This innovative solution unifies security across data centers, cloud, campus, and IoT environments, providing a highly distributed security fabric.

During this session, you will step into the shoes of a fictional engineer at PseudoCo and work through real-world scenarios that highlight the power and flexibility of Cisco’s security solutions.

The workshop will make extensive use of Cisco Security Cloud Control and cover topics such as deployment, SD-WAN configuration, shared objects management, and application segmentation. This is a great opportunity to build hands-on experience and deepen your understanding of modern network security practices through a self-paced workshop.

Key Takeaways

• Clear understanding of Cisco’s Hybrid Mesh Firewall solution and its advantages
• Gain hands-on experience with Cisco Security Cloud Control for centralized and extensive security management
• Understand how to configure SD-WAN for optimized and secure network connectivity
• Explore enhanced cloud visibility to monitor and protect distributed applications and data
• Deepen your knowledge of Shared Objects and their role in efficient policy management
• Master application segmentation techniques using both endpoint agents and the firewall for comprehensive security.

Who Should Attend

• Anyone involved in firewall management, policy enforcement, or security modernization initiatives

Workshop Format

• Duration: 2 hours
• Structure: A multi-phase, self-contained hands-on workshop
• Phases Include:
  • Onboarding firewalls and simplifying branch connectivity
  • Integrating cloud policies and multi-cloud defense
  • Configuring segmentation for workloads and applications

Security Cloud Control Lab

Security Cloud Control Lab

Cisco's Security Cloud Control is a comprehensive security architecture that extends protection across all major trust boundaries—encompassing users, devices, applications, and workloads—wherever they reside.

This architecture supports secure connectivity from branch locations via SD-WAN, through to Security Service Edge (SSE) capabilities, ensuring consistent policy enforcement and visibility across hybrid and multicloud environments. By including users and devices alongside workloads and applications. 

At its core, a Security Cloud Control is an integrated security platform that delivers consistent firewalling across public, private, and hybrid environments. It combines centralized cloud-based management with unified policy enforcement, dynamic policy discovery, and full lifecycle management—providing deep visibility and control across distributed infrastructure, not just applications.  

Lab tasks:

• Task 1  - Create Access Control Policy
• Task 2 - Onboard NGFW1 on SCC
• Task 3 - Configure Interfaces
• Task 4 – Configure Static Route
• Task 5 - Configure NAT Policy
• Task 6 - Configure Access Control Policy

Upon completion of this lab, you will be able to:

• Onboard firewalls manually to Security Cloud Control
• Understand how to configure static routes, ACL's and NAT
