Configuration and Management (EDU-210)

What you'll learn

The Palo Alto Networks Firewall Configuration and Management (EDU-210) course is an instructor-led training that will help you to:

Configure and manage the essential features of Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation FireWalls
Configure and manage Security and NAT policies
Configure and manage Threat Prevention strategies to block known and unknown threats
Monitor network traffic using the interactive web interface and firewall reports

This training is the most important course as it covers all the fundamentals to understand the Next-Generation FireWall from the ground up. Even experienced firewall engineers take a lot out of this course as it includes, besides the architecture and management essentials, topics like Application Identification, Content ID (IPS, Anti-Virus/-Spyware, URL Filtering, File Blocking), SSL Decryption and User Identification which are all features usually not supported by legacy firewalls. In addition to the official content, we also teach security best practices that will enable students to fully leverage the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall’s potential as we not only explain the theory but how to use every feature in real life. Please see the course content for the detailed agenda.

Certification Voucher

The Firewall Configuration and Management (PAN EDU 210) course covers all the content required for the PCNSA “Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator” certification. The training includes a voucher to do the PCNSA exam free of charge at any Pearson Vue test centre or via Online proctoring.

Improving Security Posture and FireWall Hardening (EDU-214)

What you'll learn

The Palo Alto Networks “Firewall: Improving Security Posture and Hardening PAN-OS” (EDU-214) course is an instructor-led training that will help you to:

Determine the efficacy of your current security policies
Develop workflows for managing your security posture
Modify your existing policy set to implement Security Best Practices
Monitor network traffic using the interactive web interface and firewall reports
Utilize tools such as the BPA tool to understand your environment further

This course enables you to effectively secure your enterprise network by leverage the full potential of the Next-Generation FireWall. Most firewall infrastructures have been migrated from a legacy firewall. However, such a like-for-like migration does not protect the network as it is missing the correct setup of all the threat prevention techniques offered by the Next-Generation FireWall. Implementing security best practice can be a serious challenge as it is often difficult to identify where to start and what combination of best practice is adequate for the environment. Therefore, the “Firewall: Improving Security Posture and Hardening PAN-OS” (EDU-214) course teaches not only security best practices but also the methodologies to apply them with minimal impact effectively. Please see the course content for the detailed agenda.

Certification

The Firewall: Improving Security Posture and Hardening PAN-OS (EDU-214) course is not linked to any Palo Alto Networks certification.

Managing Firewalls at Scale (EDU-220)

What you'll learn

The Palo Alto Networks Panorama: Managing Firewalls at Scale (EDU-220) course is an instructor-led training that will help you to:

Learn how to design, configure and manage the Panorama FireWall management server
Gain experience in how to centrally manage policies using device groups
Learn how to rollout network and device configuration to many FireWalls using templates and template variables
Gain experience with administration, log collection, as well as logging and reporting
Become familiar with planning and design considerations for Panorama deployment

This training is a specialised course for the Panorama management solution to centrally manage FireWalls at scale. It not only teaches the features and functionalities of Panorama but also provides guidance on how to design a distributed firewall network that is managed from a central location. Please see the course content for the detailed agenda.

Certification

The Panorama: Managing Firewalls at Scale (EDU-220) course covers parts of the content required for the PCNSE “Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer” certification.

The recommended enablement path for the PCNSE certification is first to take the “Firewall: Configuration and Management” (EDU-210) course followed by the Panorama: Managing Firewalls at Scale (EDU-220) and the “Firewall Troubleshooting” (EDU-330) in either order.

Troubleshooting (EDU-330)

What you'll learn

The Palo Alto Networks Firewall Troubleshooting (EDU-330) course is an instructor-led training that will help you to:

Understand the underlying architecture of the Next-Generation FireWall and what happens to a packet when it is being processed
Investigate networking issues using firewall tools including the CLI
Follow proven troubleshooting methodologies specific to individual features
Analyze advanced logs to resolve various real-life scenarios
Solve advanced, scenario-based challenges

In the Firewall Configuration and Management (EDU-210) training, students will learn everything about how to configure the Next-Generation FireWall. This is all good if things are working, but what if they aren’t? This is what the Firewall Troubleshooting (EDU-330) course is all about — to give network security engineers the tools and techniques they need to effectively troubleshoot any issues related to the Firewall or even to provide proof that the problem is not related to the FireWall. Please see the course content for the detailed agenda.
