Implementing and Configuring Cisco Cyber Vision 5.6

Implementing and Configuring Cisco Cyber Vision 5.6 is a 5-day instructor-led course designed for network, security, and operational technology professionals responsible for deploying, administering, integrating, and troubleshooting Cisco Cyber Vision in industrial environments. The course focuses on using Cisco Cyber Vision to gain deep visibility into industrial assets, monitor operational technology communications, identify vulnerabilities, investigate security events, and support segmentation strategies across modern IT and OT networks.

Students will learn how Cisco Cyber Vision Centers and Sensors work together to discover industrial assets, decode OT protocols, map device communications, and provide actionable security context. The course includes detailed administration tasks such as validating system health, enrolling sensors, organizing assets into groups, enriching asset records with custom properties, reviewing communication maps, analyzing vulnerabilities, tuning alerts, generating reports, and maintaining the platform through backups, updates, and operational runbooks.

A major focus of the course is integration with Cisco Identity Services Engine. Students will configure Cisco Cyber Vision and Cisco ISE integration using pxGrid to synchronize OT asset context into Cisco ISE endpoint attributes and profiling workflows. They will also explore Cisco ISE API-based integration for synchronizing Cyber Vision network-based and user-defined groups into Security Group Tag mappings, enabling policy-driven segmentation for industrial networks. The Cisco integration guide identifies pxGrid and Cisco ISE API workflows as the primary methods for sharing Cyber Vision asset context, endpoint attributes, and IP-to-SGT mappings with Cisco ISE.

The course also introduces operational correlation with Cisco Catalyst Center and security monitoring with Cisco Splunk. Students will use Cisco Catalyst Center to validate network infrastructure health, device inventory, interface status, and operational context related to Cyber Vision-monitored assets. For Splunk integration, students will review how Cyber Vision data can be ingested, parsed, visualized, and used for OT security dashboards, vulnerability reporting, asset summaries, operational monitoring, and risk-based alerting. The uploaded Splunk and Cyber Vision content explains that the Cyber Vision Add-on supports ingestion and field extraction, while the Cyber Vision App provides dashboards, reports, saved searches, and navigation for operational and security teams.

By the end of the course, students should be able to:

• Administer Cisco Cyber Vision 5.6
• Validate Sensor and Center Operations
• Classify industrial assets
• Investigate communication behavior
• Review vulnerabilities
• Configure Cisco ISE Integrations
• Map industrial asset groups to segmentation policy
• Correlate infrastructure state through Cisco Catalyst Center
• Forward OT security data into Cisco Splunk for centralized monitoring and investigation.

The course supports real-world industrial security operations by helping IT, OT, and SOC teams build shared visibility, improve segmentation readiness, and respond more effectively to risks in critical operational environments.
