Overview
The Palo Alto Networks Firewall Training at Zoom Technologies is a complete, hands-on program that takes you from network security fundamentals to confident administration of Palo Alto Next-Generation Firewalls — the industry's leading enterprise security platform. Starting with firewall essentials and Palo Alto's Single-Pass Parallel Processing (SP3) architecture, you'll configure every major capability live in a virtual lab you build yourself on VMware Workstation: zones and interfaces, routing, NAT, security policies, App-ID™, Content-ID™ threat prevention (Antivirus, Anti-Spyware, URL Filtering, WildFire™), User-ID™, SSL decryption, IPSec Site-to-Site VPN, and log monitoring. By the end, you'll be able to deploy, configure, secure, and troubleshoot a Palo Alto NGFW in a real enterprise environment — with a curriculum closely mapped to the PCNSA certification exam objectives.
