Duration 0.5 Days 3 CPD hours This course is intended for Security EngineersNetwork Engineers Overview This course is intended to provide a top-level overview of Palo Alto Networks© Traps? Endpoint protection product. Upon completion of the class the student will be able to understand these principles: Explain the core technologies of Traps? and how it differs from traditional signature recognition technologies. Understand the advantages of these technologies over existing solutions. Understand Traps? product architecture and deployment requirements. Installation requirements for Traps? installations. Deploy Exploit Prevention Module defenses to endpoints with Policies. Deploy Malware Protection defenses to endpoints. Provide Application Execution Control in conjunction with WildFire?. Understand deployment strategies and tactics for Workstations, VDI and Server endpoints. Gather and analyze Security Event reports and forensics. Foundation classes are just introductory trainings, NOT a full technical training. Compromise isn?t inevitable, or, at least, it shouldn?t be. Traditional endpoint protection simply cannot keep up with the rapidly evolving threat landscape, leaving organizations vulnerable to advanced attacks. A new approach is needed, one that can rebuild confidence in endpoint security. This new approach needs to prevent advanced attacks originating from executables, data files or network-based exploits ? known and unknown ? before any malicious activity could successfully run. Palo Alto Networks© call this ?advanced endpoint protection.? By focusing on the attacker?s core techniques and putting up barriers to mitigate them, the attacker?s path for exploitation becomes known, even when the attack isn?t. Traps? focuses on the core techniques leveraged by exploits in advanced cyberattacks and renders these techniques ineffective by breaking the exploit sequence and blocking the technique the moment it is attempted.

Duration 1 Days 6 CPD hours This course is intended for Business decision-makers: directors (managers of managers), managers of individual contributors (ICs) or ICs working in non-IT functions/divisions (such as finance, marketing, sales, HR, product design) interested in understanding the applications of Google?s cloud technology for business improvement opportunities and transformational project(s). Through this interactive training, you?ll learn about core cloud business drivers?specifically Google?s cloud?and gain the knowledge/skills to determine if business transformation is right for you and your team, and build short and long-term projects using the ?superpowers? of cloud accordingly. You?ll also find several templates, guides, and resource links through the supplementary student workbook to help you build a custom briefing document to share with your leadership, technical teams or partners. Why cloud technology is revolutionizing business This module introduces cloud technology as a paradigm shift and explains how it?s irrevocably transforming business globally. It defines the fundamental building blocks of cloud technology?compute power and data?and what they mean for you and your business. And finally, it reveals how these building blocks help to create five superpowers using concrete use cases of their transformative abilities for business, education, and government sectors. Foster an innovation culture Cloud is not just about a technological transformation; it's a business and cultural transformation, too. This module explores how the superpowers of the cloud are brought to life through people. It looks specifically at how to organically create and scale innovation through culture and business practices. It offers key principles, drawing examples from Google?s success and real world scenarios, that you can apply in your day-to-day operations. Define the ideal business transformation challenge Previous modules describe the journey with cloud technology to include business and cultural changes as well. This module sets the groundwork to build a transformational solution using cloud technology for your role or your business. This process starts with distinguishing between scaled improvements and transformations. Next, the module demonstrates how to write an ideal challenge question and use insights generated from a data ecosystem to address the challenge. Finally, it introduces a framework that you can use to assess and refine your challenge ideas, preparing you to build a business case in a later module. Build trust with availability, security, and compliance This module addresses common concerns about data privacy and security when migrating to the cloud. It defines key terms - privacy, security, compliance, and reliability - and reveals today?s top cybersecurity challenges and threats. It discusses how data security and compliance can be maintained when data is in the cloud, as illustrated by the Shared Responsibility Model. And finally, it uses a concrete example to explain how learners can build a high-level security program in their own organization. Build a business case for your transformation challenge This module explains how to identify the most transformative solution for your business challenge. It then breaks down steps to achieve the transformational solution through creating smaller projects and plotting them onto a transformation roadmap. It describes how to use the data ecosystem you mapped in a previous module to support your overall project. Finally, it explains step by step how to build a business case and gives tips to help you pitch your project idea to gain buy-in from leadership, teams, and technical partners.
