In this video, Keith Barker explains what an ASA is, its most important features, and how they operate. Learn firewall essentials — whether that’s stateful inspection, creating dynamic exceptions, keeping user traffic secure and fast-moving, or what NATs or PATs do in translating IPs.

An Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) from Cisco does a lot to keep your networks secure when connected to the internet, and this training explains the core functionality of the appliance. Stateful inspection means the firewall monitors sessions and creates dynamic exceptions. Packet filtering makes exceptions alongside access control lists. NAT/PAT translates source IPs to obscure the source of requests and secure traffic. VPN tunnels get secured by SSL or IPsec so that sensitive information doesn’t have to get sent in plaintext. These are some of the basic features of a Cisco ASA multi-purpose firewall. And you’ll have an even better understanding of basic network security after watching Keith Barker’s explanation.
