Program Overview: What is Introduction to Firewalls?
Firewalls are the first line of network defense. This program teaches how they work and how to run them: packet filtering, stateful inspection, NAT, and the rule hygiene that keeps policies clean.
Led by network security engineers, the program moves from firewall types to rule design, NAT, and policy management. Guided labs run in every module on realistic network topologies.
The program closes with a capstone full build: a firewall policy set with rule base, NAT design, and review procedures, reviewed by the instructor.
Teams leave with defended networks: rules that mean something, NAT that works, and policies reviewed on schedule.
