Access control policies are critically important as almost all of your traffic will pass through this policy at some point. This policy dictates whether traffic will be passed, blocked, or logged by your Firepower device. In this course, you'll learn about the creation of access control policies. Next, you'll examine how Cisco's Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) can take many actions against traffic at many different points in the traffic flow through the device. Finally, you'll explore the powerful prefilter policy actions of Firepower FTD and why you will want to take advantage of them. This course can be used in preparation for the 300-710: Securing Networks with Cisco Firepower (SNCF) certification exam.
