FortiGate Firewall Administration

Learn to set up, secure and manage a FortiGate firewall through a continuous, hands-on lab. You will build a FortiGate VM environment, connect staff and server networks, create firewall policies, configure NAT and publish a web server. You will also work with routing, a branch-office VPN, guest access, logging and troubleshooting. The labs follow two fictional organisations: Hurbad Hotel and Hurbad University. You will build on the same environment throughout the course, then complete configurations from scratch and prepare a practical handover.
