Overview

This three-day course combines instructor-led training and interactive labs to build a working knowledge of basic configuration and administration of FortiGate appliances’ most commonly used features.

Administrative fundamentals such as the Fortinet Security Fabric, firewall policies, NAT, user authentication, logging, certificates, SSL inspection, SSL VPNs, and FortiGate’s security profiles will provide a solid understanding of how to integrate and maintain basic network security using FortiGate appliances.

Thinking about Onsite?

If you need training for 3 or more people, you should ask us about onsite training. Putting aside the obvious location benefit, content can be customised to better meet your business objectives and more can be covered than in a public classroom. Its a cost effective option. One on one training can be delivered too, at reasonable rates.

Submit an enquiry from any page on this site, and let us know you are interested in the requirements box, or simply mention it when we contact you.
