Fortinet ® NSE 4 Training - FortiGate Security and FortiGate Infrastructure

Description

With the evolution of increasingly sophisticated and persistent IT threats, it is imperative for businesses to adopt advanced security solutions that require rigorous integration, management and maintenance. Fortinet®, a major player in cybersecurity, offers the next-generation FortiGate® firewall, which runs on a single platform, FortiOS®. The 5-day Fortinet Fortigate NSE4 training course is divided into two segments. The first part, focused on security, extends over 2 days and enables participants to explore the essential functionalities of the FortiGate® UTM. Learners will acquire skills in configuring the firewall, establishing VPN connections via IPSEC and SSL protocols, as well as countering malware and creating URL filters. The second part, which lasts 3 days and focuses on infrastructure, teaches advanced configuration of the FortiGate®, including aspects such as virtualization, IPS and DLP, and prepares students for the Fortinet NSE 4 - FortiOS 7.0 exam. Once all objectives have been met, participants can take the official exam at our PearsonVue Oo2 center to obtain NSE 4 Network Security Professional certification.
