Introduction:
 
This course covers the implementation, configuration, and management of the Cisco Guard and Cisco Traffic Anomaly Detector. These devices, when properly deployed in enterprise or service provider networks, offer protection from distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. Examine the present day issues associated with the ever more challenging landscape of network security and the role Cisco Guard and Detector play in the Cisco SAFE architecture.

The course includes several hands-on lab exercises covering interface configuration for out-of-band (OOB) management via the command line interface (CLI) or GUI, zone configuration, zone traffic policy creation and threshold tuning, automatic zone traffic diversion and injection, and reporting features of the Cisco Guard and Traffic Anomaly Detector.
