Contact Training TeamEDU-214 course overview
Strengthen an existing Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall deployment by assessing its security policies, applying threat prevention best practices and improving day-to-day security operations.
A like-for-like migration from a legacy firewall can leave important Next-Generation Firewall threat prevention capabilities unused. This course explains how to make fuller use of those capabilities in an existing environment.
Choosing where to start and which best practices suit your environment can be challenging. The course covers both the security controls and a practical method for introducing them with minimal disruption.

Firewall: Configuration and Management (EDU-210), or equivalent practical experience with Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls, is recommended. You should also understand basic security concepts. Experience with IPS, proxy and content filtering technologies is an advantage.
Certification: This course is not linked to a Palo Alto Networks certification.

We just switches over to Palo Alto firewalls from Cisco ASAs and this class was very helpful in tightening down our security policies. Especially the ssl decryption module. I am in the process of slowly enabling encryption on IT staff and Operations support team as the test group.

good course that takes you through the journey from A-Z on how to secure and lock down your firewall and policies following the best practices.
Domagoj is also a fantastic instructor and knows his stuff really well, and absolutely great at explaining things during the course, also refers to real-world scenarios and experiences which is cool.

This Threat prevention training gives me more confidence in dealing with palo alto firewalls and the training itself will help make our data center more secure once we implement additional measures based from this training.

Der Kurs gibt viele Einblicke in Best Practices und zeigt Funktionen, wie wir sie in der Anwendung so bisher noch nicht gekannt oder genutzt haben. Es empfiehlt sich, aus meiner Sicht, schon Erfahrungen mit der Firewall im Einsatz zu haben um das vorhandene Regelwerk zu schärfen und zu optimieren.

When it comes to training, in general, a lot of information in a too short amount of time. Labs are very nice build could perhaps use more real-life scenarios. Nevertheless, cleverly build and it is a very welcome add-on to the training.
