Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System (MARS) is a family of high-performance, scalable appliances for threat management, monitoring, and mitigation that enables you to make more effective use of network and security devices by combining network intelligence, context correlation, vector analysis, anomaly detection, hotspot identification, and automated mitigation capabilities. With MARS solutions you can readily and accurately identify, manage, and eliminate network attacks and maintain network compliance.
Why Take MARS from Global Knowledge?
We've enhanced our labs well beyond what you'll find in the standard Cisco MARS training course, and we incorporate more real-world labs, network devices, and software applications. The standard Cisco MARS course uses preconfigured virtual devices where we use real equipment to prepare you for real-world scenarios. You'll benefit from the expertise of our skilled instructors, who have experience deploying this appliance in the field going back to the days when this was a Perfigo™ appliance.
With our approach to MARS training, you'll gain confidence in your familiarity with the MARS appliance as well as its integration with most Cisco equipment, Windows Servers, and other common software applications. Our enhanced labs provide access to the latest MARS software, while the standard course is based on the older 4.3.1 code. Also, our course includes a lab on configuring Cisco Security Manager (CSM) with a Cisco IPS and performing an attack scenario to cross-launch the incident from MARS to CSM.
