Overview

Configure your next-generation firewalls from Palo Alto Networks and troubleshoot using the PAN-OS platform Understand how to optimally use PAN-OS features and leverage best practices for a robust security stance Build firewall solutions to safeguard local, cloud, and mobile networks Protect your infrastructure and users by implementing robust threat prevention solutions Palo Alto Networks' integrated platform makes it easy to manage network security and cloud security along with endpoint protection and a wide range of security services. This book is an end-to-end guide to configuring and deploying firewalls in your network infrastructure. You will see how to quickly set up, configure and understand the technology, and troubleshoot any issues that may occur. You will learn your way around the web interface and command-line structure, understand how the technology works so you can confidently predict the expected behavior, and successfully troubleshoot any anomalies you may encounter. You will further see how to deploy firewalls in a cloud environment, and consider special or unique considerations when setting them to protect resources. Finally, you will connect remote locations using the latest in SD-WAN and also automate event response by using Cortex XSOAR leveraging playbooks. By the end of this book, you should instinctively know how to approach challenges concerning your configuration and know how to solve most issues efficiently. Discover the core technologies and see how to maximize your potential in your network Identify best practices and important considerations when configuring a security policy Connect to a freshly deployed/installed appliance or VM via a web interface or command-line interface Get your firewall up and running with a rudimentary but rigid configuration Gain insight into encrypted sessions by setting up SSL decryption Configure the GlobalProtect VPN for remote workers as well as site-to-site VPN Leverage the latest in SD-WAN to connect remote locations Explore Cortex XSOAR to automate event response The book is for network and security professionals, and administrators who want to bring in the power of Palo Alto Networks and firewalls to secure their networks. Engineers should have a good grasp of networking and routing protocols, basic knowledge of stateful or next-generation firewalls is helpful but not required.
