Free Access Cisco 350-701 New Release

NetFlow is a baseline form of telemetry that is recommended for network infrastructure devices. NetFlow is a technology that collects and exports information about IP traffic flows on enabled interfaces. NetFlow can provide valuable insight into the network performance, utilization, behavior, and security. NetFlow can help identify anomalies, such as DDoS attacks, malware, or misconfigurations, by comparing the current traffic patterns with the normal or baseline ones. NetFlow can also help with capacity planning, troubleshooting, and forensic analysis. NetFlow is supported on various Cisco platforms, such as routers, switches, firewalls, and IPS sensors. NetFlow can export data to different collectors and analyzers, such as Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis and Response System (CS-MARS), Cisco Traffic Anomaly Detectors and Cisco Guard DDoS Mitigation Appliances, Cisco Network Analysis Module (NAM), and other third-party tools. References:

Explanation

Explanation

Cisco standard NetFlow version 5 defines a flow as a unidirectional sequence of packets that all share seven values which define a unique key for the flow:

+ Ingress interface (SNMP ifIndex)

+ Source IP address

+ Destination IP address

+ IP protocol

+ Source port for UDP or TCP, 0 for other protocols

+ Destination port for UDP or TCP, type and code for ICMP, or 0 for other protocols

+ IP Type of Service

Note: A flow is a unidirectional series of packets between a given source and destination.

 Tools like Jenkins, Octopus Deploy, and Azure DevOps provide continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) capabilities for application and infrastructure automation. CI/CD is a process that enables developers to deliver code changes more frequently and reliably by automating the building, testing, and deployment stages. CI/CD tools help to integrate various components of the software delivery pipeline, such as source control, testing frameworks, configuration management, security scanning, and deployment platforms. By using CI/CD tools, developers can achieve faster feedback loops, improved quality, reduced errors, and increased efficiency123.

According to the Cisco course on Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR), CI/CD is one of the key concepts of DevSecOps, which is a culture and practice that aims to embed security into every stage of the software development lifecycle. DevSecOps requires collaboration and communication between development, security, and operations teams, as well as the use of automation tools and techniques to ensure security is integrated throughout the process45. References: 1: Configuring Jenkins in Azure and deploying with Octopus 2: Octopus Deploy vs. Azure DevOps (VSTS/TFS) 3: Building .NET Core Apps in Azure DevOps and integrating Octopus Deploy 4: Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) v1.0 5: 350-701 SCOR - Cisco
