Firewall Essentials: Configuration and Management (EDU-210)

Course Overview

The Palo Alto Networks Firewall Essentials: Configuration and Management (EDU-210) course is five days of instructor-led training that will help you to:

• Configure and manage the essential features of Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls
• Configure and manage Security and NAT policies to enable approved traffic to and from zones
• Configure and manage Threat Prevention strategies to block traffic from known and unknown IP addresses, domains, and URLs
• 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 NextGeneration 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 NextGeneration Firewall’s potential as we not only explain the theory but how to use every feature in real life.
