Course Overview
This specialty training starts by discussing how to secure the access connected from an on-premises edge location (Data Center, Colocation, SD-WAN, Branch, etc.) to the public cloud. Then, it dives into how to secure the network deployed inside the cloud. The nature of the cloud is boundary-less, flexible, constantly changing, and capable of scaling as needed. Network security needs to adapt accordingly. Security is not just another add-on feature or service; it should be distributed and integrated into the network to provide a genuine zero-trust and agile environment.
The ACE Security Specialty training covers various design patterns, including Distributed and Centralized firewalling models with Palo Alto, Check Point, Fortinet, Cisco, and more. It demonstrates the flexibility and multitude of options enterprises have, since one size does not fit all. The training takes into account the native options to implement micro-segmentation and network segmentation. It also covers the highly critical East-West, North-South, Internet Ingress, Internet Egress, and hybrid multicloud security controls.
There is a special focus on cost-saving with legacy firewall vendors’ native advanced NAT options for Egress traffic while enhancing visibility and improving security. The training ends with the Aviatrix Sandbox Starter Tool that provides students with the opportunity to put their course learnings into action.
