 DevNet Ignite Security Workshop Overview
 
 In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape\, security teams are ch
 allenged to protect complex\, hybrid environments against sophisticated th
 reats—while maintaining efficiency and agility. This workshop is designe
 d to provide both foundational knowledge and hands-on experience in levera
 ging automation to strengthen security operations across multiple domains.
  Through five dedicated tracks—Introduction to Security Automation\, Ne
 twork Security\, Breach Protection\, User Protection\, and Cloud Protectio
 n—attendees will learn how to implement\, orchestrate\, and optimize sec
 urity solutions using Cisco’s advanced tools and APIs.
 Each track focu
 ses on real-world use cases\, demonstrating how automation can accelerate 
 threat detection and response\, reduce manual workload\, and ensure consis
 tent enforcement of security policies. Participants will leave equipped wi
 th practical skills and strategies to integrate security automation into t
 heir organizations\, improving accuracy\, speed\, and resilience in the fa
 ce of today’s most pressing cybersecurity challenges.
 Agenda
 
  

  
 1. Introduction to Security Automation
 This learning module provid
 es a comprehensive introduction to the principles and practicalities of 
 security automation\, covering the use of scripts\, APIs\, and industry-st
 andard tools like Python\, Terraform\, and Ansible. Participants will di
 scover how to automate well-defined\, repeatable security processes to red
 uce errors and accelerate response times\, with a special focus on Cisco
 ’s XDR Automate and the role of prompt engineering in leveraging gener
 ative AI for automation workflows. The session highlights the integratio
 n of Cisco security solutions\, showing how APIs enable seamless orchestra
 tion and management of complex security environments.
 
  
 
 2. Netw
 ork Security
 The Network Security module introduces participants to auto
 mated deployment and configuration of network security controls using Cisc
 o Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) within AWS. Through a hands-on lab\, att
 endees will learn how to use Terraform for deterministic\, repeatable fi
 rewall deployment\, implement autoscaling solutions\, and leverage Ansibl
 e scripts for streamlined configuration management. This track demonstrat
 es how automation improves repeatability\, consistency\, and operational e
 fficiency in securing modern network infrastructures.
 
 3. Breach Prote
 ction
 This session delves into Cisco’s Breach Protection Suite\, which
  unifies threat detection\, investigation\, mitigation\, and hunting acros
 s endpoints\, email\, network\, identity\, firewall\, and cloud environmen
 ts. Participants will explore how Cisco XDR acts as an integrated threat h
 unting and response platform—leveraging APIs\, advanced analytics\, and 
 automation to correlate data from Cisco and third-party solutions. The tra
 ck shows how automated workflows can rebuild attack chains\, prioritize in
 cidents\, and enable swift\, coordinated response actions to mitigate brea
 ches and reduce business impact.
 
 4. User Protection
 Focused on the 
 critical importance of identity and device security\, the User Protection 
 track equips participants with the skills to automate user and device mana
 gement using Cisco’s User Protection Suite APIs. Attendees will explore 
 practical use cases for Cisco Duo and Secure Access\, learning to orchestr
 ate authentication flows\, enforce zero trust policies\, and streamline us
 er protection in remote and hybrid workforces. The session demonstrates ho
 w automation reduces risk from user-targeted attacks and ensures consisten
 t\, policy-driven access controls.
 
 5. Cloud Protection
 
 The Cloud
  Protection module addresses the unique challenges of securing cloud and h
 ybrid environments with Cisco’s Cloud Protection Suite. Participants wil
 l gain hands-on experience configuring and managing integrated\, cloud-nat
 ive security controls that provide unified visibility\, reduce attack surf
 aces\, and automate threat response. The lab emphasizes automation’s ben
 efits—faster incident response\, reduced manual overhead\, and consisten
 t policy enforcement across diverse cloud ecosystems—empowering organiza
 tions to scale security with agility and confidence.
