Getting hands-on practice

“

- One of the challenges with any Cisco exam is getting hands on practice. This particularly true with SCOR. Where many of the technologies used here are harder to use in a home lab environment. Due to factors such as licensing cost. Before we get started I want to show you a few good solutions for that. First, is the Cisco Demo Zone. This will allow you to view many instant demos for Cisco security solutions such as Cisco ISE, Stealthwatch, AMP for endpoints and Umbrella. From the Cisco Demo Zone page you can search through their available live demos to access on demand and instant demos from your web browser. The only requirement is that you have a free Cisco account. Similarly, Cisco dCloud also offers a catalog of demos and training sandboxes for solutions such as, DNA center, and Stealthwatch Cloud. These include a mixed set of both instantly available live demos and solutions that you can reserve in four hour blocks. Again, the only requirement here is a valid set of Cisco single sign on credentials. And finally we have the Cisco DevNet Sandbox containing mini sandbox labs available as always on instant access and also some options available for an eight hour block once scheduled. The always on labs can be instantly accessed from a browser while the reserved labs do require that you submit a reservation request. Within a few minutes of doing so you will receive an email with your lab set up instructions. Which will require you to have the Cisco AnyConnect VPN software installed. The email you receive will contain instructions for connecting over VPN to the DevNet environment. And after that connection is made you can access your reserved lab appliances through HTTPS or SSH as required. If you're interested in following along throughout this course as we examine security solutions such as Cisco Stealthwatch and Cisco Identity Services Engine. Familiarizing yourself with these free available resources is a great way to do that. With that said, let's jump in to the SCOR video training series.
