In this three-day course, you will learn how FortiGate, FortiAP, FortiSwitch, and FortiAuthenticator enable secure connectivity over wired and wireless networks. You will also learn how to provision, administer, and monitor FortiAP and FortiSwitch devices using FortiManager. This course covers the deployment, integration, and troubleshooting of advanced authentication scenarios, as well as best practices for securely connecting wireless and wired users. You will learn how to keep the network secure by leveraging Fortinet Security Fabric integration between FortiGate, FortiSwitch, FortiAP, and FortiAnalyzer to automatically quarantine risky and compromised devices using IOC triggers.
