Book description
Ensuring your organization is effectively secured across networks, mobile devices and the cloud is essential to protecting against security threats. Palo Alto Networks' integrated platform makes it easy to manage network and cloud security, along with endpoint protection and a wide range of security services. This book will help you understand Palo Alto Networks and learn how to implement basic techniques, from deploying firewalls to advanced troubleshooting.
The book begins by showing you how to set up and configure a Palo Alto Networks firewall, helping you understand the technology and appreciate the simple yet powerful PAN-OS platform. Once you've explored the web interface and command line structure, you'll be able to predict expected behavior and troubleshoot anomalies with confidence. Learn why and how to create strong security policies and learn how a firewall protects against encrypted threats. In addition, you will learn to identify users and control access to your network using user IDs and even prioritize traffic using Quality of Service (QoS).
