In this three-day course, you will learn how to use

basic FortiGate features, including security profiles.

In interactive labs, you will explore firewall policies,

the Fortinet Security Fabric, user authentication, SSL

VPN, and how to protect your network using security

profiles, such as IPS, antivirus, web filtering,

application control, and more. These administration

fundamentals will provide you with a solid

understanding of how to implement basic network

security.

After completing this course, you should be able to:

• Deploy the appropriate operation mode for your network
• Use the GUI and CLI for administration
• Identify the characteristics of the Fortinet Security Fabric
• Control network access to configured networks using firewall policies
• Apply port forwarding, source NAT, and destination NAT
• Authenticate users using firewall policies
• Understand encryption functions and certificates
• Inspect SSL/TLS-secured traffic to prevent encryption used to bypass security policies

• Apply application control techniques to monitor and control network applications that might use standard or non-standard protocols and ports
• Fight hacking and denial of service (DoS)
• Offer an SSL VPN for secure access to your private network
• Collect and interpret log entries
