JUNOS Intrusion Prevention System Functionality

Special Notices

This two day course is designed to provide an introduction to the Intrusion Prevention (IPS) feature set available on the Juniper Networks SRX Series Services Gateway. The course covers concepts, ideas, and terminology relating to providing intrusion prevention using the SRX Series platform. Hands-on labs offer delegates te opportunity to configure various IPS features and the test and analyse those functions. This course is based on the Junos operating system Release 9.6R1.13.

Overview

This course benefits individuals responsible for configuring and monitoring the IPS aspects of SRX devices
