In this course, you will learn how to use basic FortiGate features, including security profiles. In interactive labs, you will explore:
 
  • Firewall policies
  • Security fabric
  • User authentication
  • SSL VPN
  • Dial-upIPsec 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.
Please Note: Neither NSE 4 certification nor the NSE 4 course is required to attend this training, however between 3 to 6 months of experience working with FortiGate devices is recommended.
 
In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of using FortiManager for centralized network administration of many FortiGate devices. In interactive labs, you will explore deployment strategies, which include:
 
  • Single or multiple ADOMs
  • Device registration
  • Policy packages
  • Shared objects
  • Installing configuration changes
  • Provisioning FortiManager as a local FortiGuard distribution server
  • Troubleshooting the features that are critical to day-to-day use after you deploy FortiManager.
Please Note: Neither NSE 4 certification nor the NSE 4 course is required to attend this training, however between 3 to 6 months of experience working with FortiGate devices is recommended.
 
In this advanced, hands-on 2-day course, you will learn about the infrastructures and security challenges of the top public cloud providers (AWS, Microsoft Azure), including high availability, auto-scaling, SDN connectors and how to manage traffic on the cloud with Fortinet products.
 
After completing this course, you will be able to:
  • Deploy FortiGate VM on AWS and Azure in single, high availability and auto-scaling modes
  • Use Fortinet templates to easily deploy complex environments
  • Deploy a FortiWeb in AWS
  • Use SDN connectors with cloud vendors
  • Integrate other Fortinet services and products with cloud vendors
It is recommended that you have previous knowledge of the basics on cloud platforms and VM Fortinet products.
 
On day 2 you will get an overview of the most common private cloud architectures, the security challenges these environments present and learn how to protect them with Fortinet solutions.
 
Upon completion, you will be able to do the following:
  • On VMWare NSX
    • Deploy FortiGate-VMX
    • Work with SDN connectors
    • Integrate FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer
    • Implement micro-segmentation
  • On OpenStack
    • Deploy regular FortiGate-VM
    • Integrate FortiGate-VM using ML2 Plugin
The NSE 8: Immersion Workshop is a preparation lab that is 100% hands-on to help you understand what you will see when attempting the NSE 8 practical exam. This workshop is for all who are planning to attempt the NSE 8 certification. The content is only available at special events (e.g. Xpert Academy, Accelerate) and not not available to the general public. It is required that all attendees taking the NSE 8: Immersion Workshop at Xperts Academy have passed the NSE 8 Written Exam or have the written exam scheduled (proof required). The main topics covered in the NSE 8: Immerision Workshop include:
 
  • FortiGate Device Operation
  • FortiGate Operation Modes and VDOMs
  • FortiGate Network Connectivity and Reachability
  • FortiGate Policies and NGFW
  • FortiGate VPNs
  • FortiGate Authentication
  • Fortinet Centralized Reports and Management
  • Fortinet Advanced Technologies
Addtional Information: The NSE 8 Immersion workshop is not a course, nor is it "the preparation" material that will guarantee an attendee will pass the practical exam. It is an additional tool to help to help you understand what is required to attempt and pass the certification. The correct guide with all the information about NSE 8 is the Handbook: https://fortinet.com/content/dam/fortinet/assets/training/NSE_8_Certification_Public_Handbook.pdf
Please Note: Neither NSE 4 certification nor the NSE 4 course is required to attend this training, however between 3 to 6 months of experience working with FortiGate devices is recommended.
 

The purpose of this training is to explore common SD-WAN deployment scenarios. From a single Enterprise site to multiple data centers, we will build, improve, and troubleshoot all challenges related to an SD-WAN deployment enabling attendees to identify, define, and implement the Fortinet Secure SD-WAN solution.

Reviewing real-life use cases, this training will present:

  • How to configure FortiGate and FortiManager SD-WAN features
  • How to integrate this into an existing network
  • How to adjust the environment in light of new security and availability demands
  • How to scale this to thousands of devices solving the issues of today's complex and dynamic networks

Additionally, this training includes scenarios that integrate SD-WAN features with Advanced Routing and its capabilities.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

  • Identify SD-WAN drivers and when to use this technology
  • Differentiate between different SD-WAN use cases
  • Deploy Secure SD-WAN features on FortiGate
  • Execute Zero Touch Provisioning of a FortiGate using FortiManager
  • Integrate several locations using SD-WAN and dynamic routing features
  • Understand how to monitor and assess the health of an SD-WAN environment
  • Have a better in-depth understanding of Fortinet Advanced routing features and its use with SD-WAN environments
