Palo Alto Firewall Configuration & Features with Keith Barker | CBT Nuggets

In this recorded live webinar, CBT Nuggets trainer Keith Barker provides a tutorial on Palo Alto Networks Firewalls. Learn how their next generation firewalls work, what their key features are, and how to get started with configuration.

In cybersecurity, the question is no longer if the network is going to be attacked or compromised. The question is what to do when it does get compromised.

The expectation about what firewalls can do for a customer has evolved in the last several years to reflect that reality.

Juniper, Checkpoint, Cisco, and PaloAlto all make firewalls. And the fact that there are so many different vendors illustrates that manufacturers and customers have different opinions about what a firewall should be capable of.

The first, obvious benefit of a threat management system is stateful filtering. Stateful filtering is what a firewall does to remember its users. Behind the scenes, there’s a lot going on, but a stateful firewall remembers all those details and more. Matching the reply traffic with that state is key to providing excellent, cutting-edge security.

Everything that next-generation, unified threat management systems do to keep networks safe is complex: watch to get insight to how they work and how you can master them.

Keith's videos helped me earn and retain CompTIA Security+ certification. Tapping his immense knowledge and enthusiasm for my next goal: learning Palo Alto firewalls.

[juanitabalanza]

[kuqezi]

Great content Keith, keep it up with the great work!
Unfortunately it sounds like the webinar is being held over a turntable phone.

Keith, you are the best at cbtnuggets!

As of PAN OS 9.0, ACE is no longer offered. The new structure is Palo Alto Networks Certified Cybersecurity Associate (PCCSA) and Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA). FWIW

[julieredmon]

Listening to you sing the praises of the Palo Alto firewalls was so funny as it reminded me of myself. We're rolling them out at my job and I'm lead on the project and can't say enough times to everyone how much I love our new firewalls. They rock!!! Nice video...just sub'd

[lunhamegenogueira]

It hurts me not to have heard "Fortinet" among those companies mentioned by Keith. I Love Keith but this time you made me cry lol

[KrisRosson]

I found this very useful actually. Thank you for your time Keith!

[t-roy]

Keith, I love your content, but get a better mic... please.

[kbhushan]

Would love to watch Palo Alto Nuggets...!

[JP_Net_Evolve]

Are your comparing the Palo Alto Firewall to New Cisco Firepower? Did mention the Fortinet (FG-7060E), which has better performance than ( PA -7080), plus Palo Alto does not support clustering!
I do like you teaching style and your Knowledge with Cisco Networking!

Keith, Your Teaching Technic is superb !, I have started to setup the Vm lab according to your videos but not able to access the webgui ! could you please help me to start my practice

[gabrownzfan]

difficult to even register and log in to see about the damn exams

[shripadpujar]

Can anyone help me in preparing for Palo Alto Certification.
1. I'm new to this field
2.I'm very much interested in completing Certification.
3. Want to become a Security Expert.

[cnealmartin]

Name of the video says "configuration" NOTHING ABOUT HOW TO SET UP CONFIG

[koolasic]

can Palo alto decrypt Whatsapp packet as well?

[rfi-cryptolab]

SSL decryption in the firewall is a security vulnerability in and of itself. In fact, it's come up in industry news recently.

[ItsBigTexYall]

"I didn't mean to pick on China! Lets pick on Kazakhstan." Anyone that has seen Borat knows that Kazakhstan's most advanced technological achievement is goats. They're not hacking anyone.

[utubezig]

Gartner shows Fortinet at the top, just saying...

[alexman]

all courses are just theory.Stop wasting people's time.If you want make a course show how configure, how install, how integrate to active directory, how block an IP address .There is a lot of feature in a firewall
