Course Benefits:

Multi-functional security is a major requirement for small and medium-sized enterprises. Additionally, IPSec VPNs provide major benefits for organisations providing secure authenticated communications inexpensively over the internet. Due to increased firewall requirements there is increasing need for packet and proxy filtering and for remote management.

XTM Series training enables detailed configuration and implementation of firewall policies, VPNs, add-on modules and associated management and reporting.

This course covers specification, installation, configuration and management of the XTM Series range of multi-function security appliances using latest WSM version 11.4. It includes a mixture of hands-on and theoretical sessions leading to the WCSP exam (successful completion of which leads to WatchGuard accreditation status).
