CONVERTING CISCO FIREPOWER FROM PLATFORM MODE TO APPLIANCE MODE. FULL ASA BACKUP
WITH ASDM

This article explains how to configure a Cisco Firepower 2100 series device to
operate in Appliance mode. We’ll show you how to switch from Platform mode to
Appliance mode and how the device will automatically convert and retain your ASA
configuration.

Before performing the conversion, its important to obtain a full backup of the
Firepower system and therefore also cover how to backup your Cisco Firepower
appliance configuration, certificates, VPN configuration (including pre-shared
keys), VPN profiles and more, using the  Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager
(ASDM). 

Key Topics:

 * Cisco Firepower Platform and Appliance Mode
 * How to Backup Cisco ASA using ASDM
 * Converting Firepower from Platform to Appliance Mode
 * Summary

More in-depth technical articles can be found in our Cisco Firewall section.


CISCO FIREPOWER PLATFORM AND APPLIANCE MODE

The Cisco Firepower 2100 series operates on an underlying system called FXOS.
You can run the Firepower 2100 for ASA in two modes:

 * Platform Mode: In this mode, you need to configure basic operating parameters
   and hardware interface settings within FXOS. This includes tasks like
   enabling interfaces, setting up EtherChannels, managing NTP, and handling
   image management. You can use either the chassis manager web interface or the
   FXOS CLI for these configurations. Afterward, you can set up your security
   policy in the ASA operating system using ASDM or the ASA CLI.

 * Appliance Mode (Default): This mode allows you to configure all settings
   directly in the ASA. Only advanced troubleshooting commands are available
   through the FXOS CLI in this mode. Appliance mode is similar to how the old
   ASA Firewalls (5500 series) ran when the FXOS didn’t exist.

The Management 1/1 interface is used to manage the Firepower device. The
interface is configured with two IP addresses, one for the FXOS and one for the
ASA. When changing to Appliance mode, the FXOS IP address is lost and will need
to be reconfigured, however you can connect to the FXOS directly from the ASA
software using the following command:

EMPOWERING USERS WITH CYBER SECURITY AWARENESS TRAINING

Data breaches and cyber threats cast a long shadow over both organizations and
individuals alike, making the need for robust cyber security measures more
pressing than ever. However, the most advanced technology in the world cannot
fully protect against cyber risks if the people using it are not aware of the
dangers and the best practices for avoiding them.

It is here that cyber security awareness training becomes invaluable, offering a
crucial layer of defense by educating and empowering users. This article
explores the critical role of cyber security awareness in the modern digital
world, highlighting its significance and providing insights on how organizations
can cultivate a culture instilled with security consciousness. Join us as we
unravel the key components of implementing robust cyber security awareness
training to fortify your digital defenses.

Key Topics:

 * What is Cyber Security Awareness?
 * Why is Cyber Security Awareness Training Important?
 * Your Employees are the First Line of Defense
 * Cyber Security Awareness Training and M365
 * Enhancing Incident Response Capabilities
 * Promoting Safe Online Practices
 * Fostering an Environment of Continuous Learning
 * Creating a Culture of Security
 * Empowering Employees with Knowledge and Tools
 * Building Trust and Confidence

WHAT IS CYBER SECURITY AWARENESS?

Cyber security awareness encapsulates the knowledge and behaviors that
individuals within an organization adopt to protect its information assets. It's
not merely about having the right technology in place; it's about ensuring every
member of the organization understands the role they play in maintaining
security. This understanding spans recognizing potential threats, such as
malware, adhering to IT Security protocols, and adopting best practices to
mitigate risks.

Beyond mere compliance, it fosters a proactive mindset that empowers individuals
to act decisively and effectively in the face of potential cyber threats,
thereby reinforcing the organization's digital defenses.


WHY IS CYBER SECURITY AWARENESS TRAINING IMPORTANT?

Some of the cyber threats posing risks to organizations are quite sophisticated,
ranging from phishing scams to ransomware attacks. Cyber security awareness
trains employees to identify and respond to cyber threats effectively. It
transforms employees from being the weakest link in the security chain to a
robust first line of defense.

By raising awareness and educating staff, organizations can potentially
eliminate cyber attacks and data breaches altogether. Now, let’s see why cyber
security awareness training is important.


YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE

Employees often inadvertently become conduits for cyber threats. Simple actions,
such as responding to phishing emails or utilizing compromised devices, can
expose organizations to significant risks. Cyber security awareness training
endows employees with the essential critical thinking skills to evaluate
suspicious activities and make informed, secure decisions.

DETECTING WINDOWS SERVER SECURITY THREATS WITH ADVANCED EVENT LOG ANALYZERS

Windows Servers stand as prime targets for hackers and malicious actors due to
their widespread usage and historical vulnerabilities. These systems often serve
as the backbone for critical business operations, housing sensitive data and
facilitating essential services. However, their prevalence also makes them
vulnerable to cyber threats, including ransomware attacks, distributed
denial-of-service (DDoS) assaults and more.

Windows Servers have a documented history of vulnerabilities and exploits, which
further intensifies their attractiveness to attackers seeking to exploit
weaknesses for unauthorized access or data theft. Consequently, it is paramount
for organizations to prioritize mitigating these risks and safeguarding the
integrity and continuity of operations within Windows Server environments.

Fortunately, tools like EventLog Analyzer offer robust capabilities for
automatically identifying and countering such threats, uplifting the security
posture of Windows Server setups. To effectively leverage these defenses, it's
imperative to understand the nature of common Windows server threats and how
they manifest. In this document, we delve into several prevalent threats
targeting Windows servers and outline strategies for their detection and
mitigation.

Furthermore, implementing robust security measures, such as regular patching,
network segmentation, intrusion detection systems, and data encryption, Windows
VM Backups, is essential to fortify Windows Servers against potential threats
and ensure the resilience of critical business functions.

Key Topics:

 * Common Windows Server Threats
 * Ransomware
 * Denial of Service Attacks
 * Insider Threats
 * Malware Infections
 * Phishing Attacks
 * Brute Force Attacks
 * Vulnerability Exploitation
 * Data Breaches
 * Web Application Attacks
 * Misconfiguration Errors
 * Using Advanced Event Log Analyzers to Detect Server Threats
