Overview
Join Dean Bushmiller to master the core principles and practices of modern network firewalls. Viewers will explore essential components like packet filtering, stateful inspection, and deep packet inspection. You will learn to draft robust security policies, define traffic flows, and design high-availability logical architectures rooted in a strict default deny stance.
Next, the course examines the integration of artificial intelligence in Next-Generation Firewalls. You will analyze practical vendor implementations, discovering how Palo Alto uses AI for predictive health metrics and exploit blocking, and how Fortinet leverages virtual analysts for encrypted traffic inspection. By the end, you will have the expertise to design and manage resilient network security configurations.
