About Palo Alto Firewall Version 11 Essentials Training

Course Overview:

Successful completion of this course should enhance the student’s understanding of how to configure and manage Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls. The student should learn and get hands-on experience configuring, managing, and monitoring a firewall in a lab environment. 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.

EDU-210 Course Description:

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.
