(EDU-210) Firewall Essentials: Configuration and Management

Course Duration

5 Days

Target Audience

Security Engineers, Security Administrators, Security Operations Specialists, Security Analysts, and Support Staff

Prerequisites

Participants must have a basic familiarity with networking concepts including routing, switching, and IP addressing. Students also should be familiar with basic security concepts. Experience with other security technologies (IPS, proxy, and content filtering) is a plus.

Course Outline

Course Overview

  • 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.

Key Learning Objectives

Upon successful completion of the Palo Alto Networks (EDU-210) instructor-led course, students will be able to:

  • Install and configure new Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls
  • Manage the Firewall’s configurations
  • Understand the basics of networking and traffic flows
  • Configure the Firewall to connect to your production network
  • Manage the Security Policy Rules used to protect your network

  • Configure deep packet inspection features, including Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Vulnerability Protection, URL Filtering, File Blocking, Data Filtering & WildFire
