The FUTURE of Information Security Engineers - Cisco Security Automation (DNA CENTER)

This video was sponsored by Cisco.

Are you interested in becoming a Network Security Engineer? Information Security Engineer? Cyber Security Engineer? Or are you currently in this role?

Things are CHANGING!!!

We've been hearing about this whole "Network Programmability" thing for a while now but it seemed to only be about the Route and Switch guys. But I'm here to tell you that automation and programmability is alive and kicking in the Information Security field!! In this video I talk about this amazing demo I saw at CiscoLive that utilized Cisco DNA Center and Cisco Stealthwatch to AUTOMATE SECURITY!!

What does this mean for you? Well, getting your CCNA Security, CCNP Security…CCNA CyberOps…is GREAT…but you may want to learn some Python to get ahead of the curve!

You have grown to a level such that CISCO sponsors you !! F it you are big bro!!

Hello Chuck,
Love the video, been a fan of yours since I started my journey into networking. Started 1 year ago, got my ccent, working on ccna. Proud to say that today I got offered a job to work for cisco. Thanks for inspiring all of us.

Coming back to comment on this video it has aged amazingly well and Chuck was early in the ballgame and love the direction the new content has been going ever since with learning cloud security development

Holy shit. I came here to find information and 1.5 minutes in, i am thoroughly impressed with the production level.

Instant subscribe. This is amazing. Thank you so much, i know doing this takes a lot of work

2 things:
1. I am so stoked that this channel has so much content coming out, but is still so small (still growing though). I feel like Chuck has the time to still get to a lot of the comments.

2. I'd love to see a podcast from this channel. Something that talks about the future of many of these networking positions, and how the future will affect them. As someone who's just now making the switch into IT, studying for the CCNA, etc. this is all confusing, and frightening.

I enjoy listening to you talk about things I have no idea about. Hopefully if I listen to you talk about them enough I will learn it myself!

The number one security vulnerability is people. No amount of new technology will ever fix that. But cool video.

I just took admission for Ccna Ccnp...& this video is scaring me.. 😢

This is very exciting! I have spent the last year and a half hitting JavaScript and Python pretty hard. Recently I decided that maybe a full-time development job might not be where I want to go so I’ve decided to put my experience as a system admin and network admin back to use by getting a CCENT / CCNA ( i’d like to go to the security route). The idea that I could use python like this in a network engineering role is really exciting!

That's whats great about being a CS major, you can get any job in the tech/computer field that other fields like IT, CYBERS, etc can't. And now programmers who know tons of programming languages as they work with them daily will be assigned IT jobs, I always assumed that the IT field would be automated but it isn't that bad yet as you can just have a basic knowledge of one or two languages for this.

[PugzofSteel]

I already have a degree in programming and currently enrolled in cybersecurity.

[thtech]

Security is a hot field and I would love to get into that area in the future.

[chrisitangonzaga]

Network Chuck, damn you always post great content about network technology. I believe people who love network technology should always adapt to change. Nothing wrong with a Network Engineer learning how to program. It's a great skill and this should be exciting.

[isthattrue]

I can see easily why DNA is good. It automates and centralizes control. You can simply select an api and it will apply it to the network devices. So I take it that StealthWatch works similarly to an anti-virus only using heuristics for networks? Clever girl.

[bigbearcrouse]

Dude...this is some hot newness. Time to add to the skill list.

I'd really like to see some resources on how to get started on all this stuff. I hear so much about "oh it's coming and it's great!" but have yet to find any actually good, clear, concise content about it.
