Course Overview
This two-day course is designed to provide an introduction to the Intrusion Prevention System (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 students the opportunity to configure various IPS features and to test and analyze those functions.
The primary audiences for this course are individuals responsible for configuring and monitoring the IPS aspects of SRX devices.
After successfully completing this course, students will be able to understand the concepts related to Intrusion Prevention and implement the basic functions and features available on the SRX platform with IPS. During the course, students will have the opportunity to configure Intrusion Prevention features on an SRX device.
