Description

Deploying access control that is based on parameters for Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Layer 3 and 4 establishes a minimal connectivity policy for network applications. However, this filtering alone cannot provide protection for exposed applications. The Cisco ASA adaptive Security Appliance Application Inspection and Control (AIC) features provide advanced application layer (OSI Layers 5 to 7) filtering to address these scenarios when risk assessment demands them. This course enables you to configure, verify, and troubleshoot these advanced applications inspections and controls of the Cisco ASA Security Appliance.
You can configure the Cisco ASA adaptive Security Appliance for user-based policies (also known as cut-through proxy), where you can implement different network access policies for different users based on their authenticated identity. You implement user-based policies using the authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) system on the Cisco ASA Security Appliance. This course describes the Cisco ASA Security Appliance user authentication capabilities, followed by per-user authorization and traffic accounting features that you can integrate with the AAA infrastructure of an organization.
