NSE4 Study Guide Part-II Infrastructure : Fortinet Network Security Introduction

Network Security Expert 4 Study Guide | Part-IIFortinet Network Security IntroductionIntroduction to FortiGate Part-II Infrastructure picks up where Part-I left off. The book begins by going on FortiOS VDOM technology and Session Helpers. You will gain a solid understanding on how VDOM's work and why they are needed. You will also learn why Session Helpers exist. Also, you will have an opportunity to gain insight into how FortiGate High Availability technology works as well. You will feel confident in your HA deployment after reading this book I promise you! Next, we dig into FortiOS logging technology which is essential for any SOC. Next, we review some popular VPN technologies like IPsec and SSL. This book shows you how to configure and use both technologies on FortiGate. After VPNs, we step into FortiOS SDWAN technology which is hot right now! you will learn what SDWAN is and how to deploy it! lastly we finish up Part-II Infrastructure with a full chapter on troubleshooting all the technology covered in Part-I and Part-II.
