1
00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:07,430
- [Instructor] We already went over

2
00:00:07,430 --> 00:00:10,240
Cisco Platform Exchange Grid or PX Grid

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,276
and how you can use it to
integrate third party solutions

4
00:00:14,276 --> 00:00:17,440
with Cisco products like the Cisco ISE

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,520
or the Cisco Identity Service Engine.

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,011
However, there are several
other security products

7
00:00:23,011 --> 00:00:25,437
that also support APIs

8
00:00:25,437 --> 00:00:29,740
for you to interact with
them in a programmable way.

9
00:00:29,740 --> 00:00:33,880
For example, the Firepower
next generation firewalls,

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,190
also support different APIs to monitor

11
00:00:36,190 --> 00:00:38,530
and configure those devices.

12
00:00:38,530 --> 00:00:42,190
Things like StealthWatch
on-premise and cloud.

13
00:00:42,190 --> 00:00:45,190
They also have APIs and
also they have, you know,

14
00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:50,190
the ability for you to use
the enterprise data exporter.

15
00:00:50,290 --> 00:00:52,290
Now, in addition, you also have solutions

16
00:00:52,290 --> 00:00:55,992
like the Cisco Threat
Response APIs, and basically

17
00:00:55,992 --> 00:01:00,470
these Threat Response APIs
are a collection of APIs

18
00:01:00,470 --> 00:01:04,330
which can be used to
integrate your Cisco devices

19
00:01:04,330 --> 00:01:06,610
and, you know, Cisco security products

20
00:01:06,610 --> 00:01:09,090
and third party security
solutions as well.

21
00:01:09,090 --> 00:01:11,670
And you can automate the
instant response process

22
00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:13,483
or at least accelerate that process

23
00:01:13,483 --> 00:01:16,860
and manage threat intelligence
and provide, you know,

24
00:01:16,860 --> 00:01:19,740
different type of
capabilities to, you know,

25
00:01:19,740 --> 00:01:21,860
for additional security context data

26
00:01:21,860 --> 00:01:25,470
in a single location in the
Cisco Threat Response Solution.

27
00:01:25,470 --> 00:01:28,730
But what I want to highlight
in here is that Cisco DevNet

28
00:01:28,730 --> 00:01:31,280
and as you can tell,
I'm a big fan of DevNet,

29
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,520
it also has several labs
that you can complete

30
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,020
to get familiarized with
threat response APIs.

31
00:01:39,020 --> 00:01:41,799
And whenever it comes to,
you know, programmability

32
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:45,700
and Python and, you know,
APIs and things like that

33
00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:47,630
the more you practice the better.

34
00:01:47,630 --> 00:01:51,440
Now I have like an
example of a Python script

35
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,020
that you can actually use

36
00:01:53,020 --> 00:01:56,140
to interact with the threat response APIs

37
00:01:56,140 --> 00:01:59,580
in my GitHub repository that
I'm highlighting the screen.

38
00:01:59,580 --> 00:02:02,240
I also invite you to navigate

39
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:07,240
to the Developer.Cisco.com/site/security

40
00:02:07,820 --> 00:02:09,834
and go over the assisting

41
00:02:09,834 --> 00:02:12,620
exercises and actually
the list of the APIs

42
00:02:12,620 --> 00:02:16,400
that are available for you
and, you know, take advantage

43
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,430
of these exercises

44
00:02:17,430 --> 00:02:19,370
so you can actually become familiar

45
00:02:19,370 --> 00:02:22,070
with the different Cisco security APIs,

46
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:24,380
just like you actually were, you know

47
00:02:24,380 --> 00:02:26,920
navigating previously for other products.

48
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:31,030
But this one specifically are
for Cisco security products.

49
00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:34,620
Now the CCMP Security Concentration Exam

50
00:02:34,620 --> 00:02:37,620
that is called the Automating
Cisco Security Solution

51
00:02:37,620 --> 00:02:39,380
or the S-Auto Exam.

52
00:02:39,380 --> 00:02:41,990
Every time that I refer
to S-Auto, you know

53
00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:45,660
that is our exam that,
you know, test expects you

54
00:02:45,660 --> 00:02:48,360
that you will know how
to program and interact

55
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,350
with these APIs.

56
00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:51,340
For the Core exam,

57
00:02:51,340 --> 00:02:54,200
so for the S-Core exam,
you only need to be able

58
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,280
to actually identify
them, to know, you know,

59
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,180
some of the most common Python scripts,

60
00:03:01,180 --> 00:03:03,110
but even not going into the details

61
00:03:03,110 --> 00:03:06,530
of the actual, you know,
programmable interaction

62
00:03:06,530 --> 00:03:09,430
with every single API, but at
least have some familiarity

63
00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:12,360
with common Python scripts
that are used to interact

64
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,730
with these APIs.

65
00:03:13,730 --> 00:03:18,440
Now, Cisco is always adding
additional APIs to their list.

66
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,732
So I strongly suggest

67
00:03:19,732 --> 00:03:23,200
for you to take advantage
of these resources

68
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,703
and keep up with the latest
information at definite.
