Description

Are you feeling confident with your network security measures? What If I told you that in 2016, based on surveys done regarding cyber security, 8 out of 10 CIOs feel that cyber threats are rapidly becoming their number 1 priority. I myself have seen the number of attacks quickly rising, to the point that it's now almost a normal occurrence, unfortunately.

Another key point I want you to know is that in the period between April 2015 and March 2016, there was a 550% increase in the number of ransomware attacks. This is worrisome, of course, as the main thing attackers using these methods want is one and only, money. Businesses all around the globe are finding out the hard way that if you are not paying attention to how you secure your IT infrastructure, you stand to lose not only huge amounts of money, but also your reputation.

With this in mind, it's quickly becoming apparent that new and innovative cyber security methods need to be taken, if we are to ensure that our network users are protected, sometimes even from themselves. This is where the product that we are discussing in this course, named FortiSandbox, comes in to help you do just that.

In this course you will learn just what FortiSandbox is, what is does and how it does it and how it can help you protect your network from disaster. As it is very flexible, you can deploy it in a number of ways, helping to prevent incidents and it can give you information just when you need it to help you contain and mitigate threats.

I highly suggest that you request a trial of FortiSandbox from Fortinet so that you can follow along and practice at the same time.

By the end of the course you will have a solid understanding of the FortiSandbox concepts and when time calls it, you will have the skills to work with it in order to transform your network environment and you will have a solid step on which to further build your cyber security know-how.

Who this course is for:

Network and system professionals without prior knowledge of sandboxing
Everyone who wants to understand how to add an extra layer of security to their network
