  • Build firewall solutions to safeguard local, cloud, and mobile networks

Description

To safeguard against security threats, it is crucial to ensure that your organization is effectively secured across networks, mobile devices, and the cloud. 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. With this book, you'll understand Palo Alto Networks and learn how to implement essential techniques, right from deploying firewalls through to advanced troubleshooting. The book starts by showing you how to set up and configure the Palo Alto Networks firewall, helping you to 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. You'll learn why and how to create strong security policies and discover how the firewall protects against encrypted threats. In addition to this, you'll get to grips with identifying users and controlling access to your network with user IDs and even prioritize traffic using quality of service (QoS). The book will show you how to enable special modes on the firewall for shared environments and extend security capabilities to smaller locations. By the end of this network security book, you'll be well-versed with advanced troubleshooting techniques and best practices recommended by an experienced security engineer and Palo Alto Networks expert.

Who is this book for?

This book is for network engineers, network security analysts, and security professionals who want to understand and deploy Palo Alto Networks in their infrastructure. Anyone looking for in-depth knowledge of Palo Alto Network technologies, including those who currently use Palo Alto Network products, will find this book useful.

As a former administrator of 20 some Palo Alto Networks firewalls, and holder of PCNSE8 and PCNSE9 certifications, this is the book I wish was available when I first started my journey. And even as a veteran of the platform I've enjoyed reading it picking up nuggets of information along with better understanding of configuration options. One particular area I found covered better (and more clearly) than any support doc available was U-Turn NAT policies which were a particular pain point a few years back on a project.This book will guide you succinctly from basic initial setup through to more advanced topics such as custom app-ids and zone protections in an easy to follow step by step manner.Whether you're just starting to look at PANW firewalls or like myself have years of experience I highly recommend picking up a copy of Tom's excellent book.

You need basic understanding of firewalls if you are going to purchase this book. If you don't have basic knowledge of firewalls, then you need to look somewhere else. Writer directly started from the Palo Alto firewalls and no information about basic structure/functionality of the firewalls. Keep only this thing in mind.

This a great resource for learning Palo Alto. It covers most of the important topics and is much more readable than the official documentation.The author is very approachable on his pangurus website as well.I used this book as part of my study to recertify for my PCNSE. There were a variety of new features introduced since I has first certified and this book was a good resource for brushing up on the features I have not used frequently.I found chapter 14, loud based firewall deployment especially useful as more and more of our clients are deploying their firewalls in the cloud.

I was a bit hesitant at first to purchase as I have a few years of PAN-OS management experience.However, this book is a great resource and covers what’s necessary for day to day challenges.I particularly enjoy how organized the materials are.Cheers.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.
