In this course, participants will learn how to use basic FortiGate features, including security profiles.

In interactive labs, participants will explore firewall policies, security fabric, user authentication, SSL VPN, dial-up IPsec VPN, and how to protect your network using security profiles; such as IPS, antivirus, web filtering, application control. These administration fundamentals will provide a solid understanding of how to implement basic network security.

After completing this course, participants should be able to:

• Deploy the appropriate operation mode for the 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
• Configure security profiles to neutralize threats and misuse, including viruses, torrents, and inappropriate websites
• 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
• Implement a dialup IPsec VPN tunnel between FortiGate and FortiClient
• Collect and interpret log entries
