Description

Master Centralized Firewall Management, Policy Automation & Multi‑Device Administration

This course teaches you the complete fundamentals and practical skills needed to deploy and operate FortiManager, Fortinet’s centralized network administration platform for managing multiple FortiGate devices. Through interactive labs, you will learn how to streamline configuration management, automate policy deployment, organize multi‑tenant environments, and troubleshoot real‑world issues — all using FortiManager 7.2.

FortiManager is essential for modern enterprises. Managing dozens of FortiGate devices individually is inefficient and risky. With FortiManager, you can centralize configuration, enforce consistent security policies, reduce human error, maintain clean inventories, and implement approval workflows that prevent misconfigurations and downtime.

This course includes a full EVE‑NG lab environment you can install on your own computer at no additional cost, allowing you to practice everything hands‑on.

  • Deploying FortiManager with single or multiple ADOMs

  • Registering FortiGate devices and managing device inventories

  • Creating and managing policy packages and shared objects

  • Installing configuration changes across multiple devices

  • Using FortiManager as a local FortiGuard distribution server

  • Implementing approval workflows and revision history

  • Identifying unused objects and maintaining clean configurations

  • Backing up and restoring device configurations centrally

  • Troubleshooting FortiManager features used in daily operations

  • Best practices for multi‑administrator environments
