​This course explores security concepts with a focus on the configuration of Palo Alto Firewalls and FortiSIEM. Students will learn what is new in Next-Gen FireWall (NGFW), how to manage and monitor logs, connect and forward logs from different devices, collect performance information, aggregate the logs, and create a custom dashboard in SIEM. Topics include firewall policies, NAT (Network Address Translation), user authentication, SSL VPN (Secure Socket-Level Virtual Private Network), and how to protect networks using security profiles such as antivirus, DoS (Denial of Service) protection, data filtering, web filtering, file blocking, and application control. Hands-on activities include working with Palo Alto features and implementing VPN in different scenarios within a lab environment. Students will gain in-depth knowledge and practical experience on implementing high availability between two firewalls and troubleshooting a security system using the Palo Alto Networks platform. The course content will help students prepare for the PCNSE certification exam.
