Training Lab for Darken the Skies customer event. 

You have been brought in to help PseudoCo, a multi-billion-dollar corporation headquartered in London, England. Established more than 30 years ago, PseudoCo includes services, manufacturing, retail, sales, and e-commerce as critical components of its business. 

PseudoCo has 50,000+ full-time and contract employees who are spread over hundreds of locations worldwide. They typically run three types of offices:

• A single headquarters campus
• Regional sites
• Branch offices

In addition, a growing percentage of PseudoCo’s workforce is hybrid or fully remote.

Project 'Meteor' 

PseudoCo's project Meteor was created to modernize their firewall estate due to a proliferation of applications, the rise of AI technologies, and an increasingly mobile workforce which continues to expand the attack surface.

PseudoCo chose Cisco's Hybrid Mesh Firewall because it is a highly distributed security fabric managed under a single interface (Security Cloud Control) that protects applications no matter where they live. It makes it easy for them to reduce the attack surface, prevent compromise, and stop lateral movement in their data center, cloud, campus, and factory.

Project Meteor has been broken up into 3 key phases to reduce disruption to the workforce:

Phase 1 Network Zone Based Segmentation & DC Edge: Login to Cisco Security Cloud Control, onboard physical firewalls, create policy to identify applications, simplify branch connectivity and configure Policy Based Routing

Phase 2 Cloud Edge: Login to Cisco Security Cloud Control, enable cloud visibility, gather DNS flow logs, shared objects and setup tagging

Phase 3 Macro/Micro Segmentation: Login to Cisco Security Cloud Control and configure policy to protect application workloads

You have been assigned to the firewall modernization project 'Meteor' to configure and deploy the new Hybrid-Mesh Firewall solution PseudoCo has purchased from Cisco.

Trace3 Hybrid Mesh Firewall Customer Workshop

Trace3 HMFW Customer Workshop Atlanta

The Hybrid Mesh Firewall: Project Meteor workshop is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to modernize firewall strategies using Cisco’s Hybrid Mesh Firewall technology. This innovative solution unifies security across data centers, cloud, campus, and IoT environments, providing a highly distributed security fabric.

During this session, you will step into the shoes of a fictional engineer at PseudoCo and work through real-world scenarios that highlight the power and flexibility of Cisco’s security solutions.

The workshop will make extensive use of Cisco Security Cloud Control and cover topics such as deployment, SD-WAN configuration, shared objects management, and application segmentation. This is a great opportunity to build hands-on experience and deepen your understanding of modern network security practices through a self-paced workshop.
