This course provides a practical introduction to configuring and managing Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls. Participants learn how to implement firewall policies, control application usage, and monitor network traffic using the Palo Alto firewall platform.
Over five days, participants gain hands-on experience configuring and managing the core features of Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls. The course focuses on security policy configuration, NAT policies, application control, and threat prevention capabilities that allow organizations to securely manage network traffic between security zones.
Participants also learn how to monitor traffic and security events using the firewall interface and reporting tools. Through hands-on labs and demonstrations, the course builds a strong foundation for working with Palo Alto firewall technology in enterprise environments.
Course objectivesAfter completing this course, participants will be able to:
