Why Choose This Course
Panorama: NGFW Management is built for professionals who need to manage multiple next-generation firewalls from a single, central console. In a live online virtual classroom with an instructor, you’ll learn how to operate the Panorama management server, organise devices in a way that scales, and use central workflows to keep configuration and visibility under control.
The course focuses on the practical building blocks that make centralised management work in real environments. You’ll learn how to onboard managed devices cleanly, then use templates and device groups together so settings and policy stay consistent across sites without constant manual rework. This is the core of reducing configuration drift and making rollouts more predictable as the environment grows.
You’ll also cover the operational side that keeps Panorama usable over time: managing administrative access in team settings, using logging and reporting to get an aggregated view of traffic and security activity, and applying troubleshooting techniques when pushes or expected behaviour don’t line up. The overall aim is to help you run centralised firewall management in a structured, supportable way across multiple locations, including when supporting teams or environments from City.
