Prepares network administrators to implement, manage and operate Fortinet products within a network
Fortinet has unveiled new segmented online courses that prepare network administrators to implement, manage and operate Fortinet products within a network.
The courses, accessible from Fortinet’s Learning Center, cover Fortinet’s expansive network security portfolio, building in-depth expertise around a wide range of products that include the FortiGate, FortiAnalyzer, FortiManager, FortiMail and FortiWeb platforms. All courses have been strategically-designed for self-paced instruction and are available free to all registered Fortinet channel partners.
Two new preparatory online courses, Unified Threat Management I and Unified Threat Management II, can be taken at any time and help prepare partners to take proctored Fortinet network security product certification exams.
Unified Threat Management I consists of 10 online modules plus one day of proctored online lab exercises. When completed, Unified Threat Management I prepares network administrators to implement, manage and operate Fortinet’s FortiGate products. Course topics include firewall policy setting, user authentication, VPN, virus detection, email filtering, Web filtering, application control and more.
Unified Threat Management II consists of 12 online modules as well as two days of proctored online lab exercises. The second course in the series covers routing, virtual domains, high availability, advanced IPSec VPN, intrusion prevention, diagnostics and resource utilization, among other topics.
“These courses have proven to be very popular because they provide both theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as cover topics that Fortinet administrators and architects need to know,” said Matt Phillips, director of training services at Fortinet.
“We believe strongly that a trained channel is a more effective channel,” said Rajesh Maurya, Country Manager, India & SAARC at Fortinet. “Not only does technical training reduce sales cycles, it enables our partners to deliver additional professional services and support offerings.”
