FT-FGT-SEC - FortiGate Security

Overview

Duration: 3.0 days

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, 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, and more.

These administration fundamentals will provide you with a solid understanding of how to implement basic network security.
