Become a Clavister NetWall Expert

Deep down at the heart of every NetWall product lies cOS Core. Clavister cOS Core is the base software engine that drives and controls the range of our next-generation firewalls. Designed as a network security operating system, cOS Core features high throughput performance with high reliability plus super granular control.

In contrast to products built on top of standard operating systems such as Unix or Microsoft Windows, cOS Core offers seamless integration of all its subsystems, in-depth administrative control of all functionality, as well as a minimal attack surface which helps to negate the risk from security attacks.

The Clavister NetWall Expert path consists of four different trainings, which are, in the recommended order, the following: Clavister NetWall Fundamentals, Clavister NetWall Building Corporate Networks, Clavister NetWall VPN and Clavister NetWall Routing.

All trainings include 2 certification attempts.

Clavister NetWall Fundamentals

Clavister NetWall Fundamentals is the first training to attend for anyone not familiar with the NetWall product range. It constitutes the prerequisite for all other trainings in the NetWall path and as such the very first step on the way to become both a NetWall expert and a more complete and successful person. Both beginners and technicians with experience from other firewall vendors are welcome to attend.

After completing this training, you will have a good understanding of basic network security, of how to properly install and configure a Next Generation Firewall, and how it fits into a typical network. You will also gain good insight in its various subsystems and their purpose.

This training covers a lot of ground and provides you with the knowledge on how to:

• use the full range of administration and log management tools: CLI, web UI, InControl and InCenter
• understand the concepts of routing, objects and security policies
• set up and use threat management features such as Intrusion Detection and Prevention, Application Control, NetEye, IP reputation, etc.
• use authentication to the fullest
• configure LAN-to-LAN and roaming VPN tunnels the easy way

This training is delivered in 3 different formats:

• instructor-led + LAB (duration: 2 days)
• self-paced + LAB
• self-paced

Clavister NetWall Building Corporate Networks

Clavister NetWall Building Corporate Networks expands on the knowledge gained from the Clavister NetWall Fundamentals training. It is a step up in security and best practices which focuses on how to design and configure corporate level networks with an emphasis on availability, scalability and reliability.

This training covers different subjects such as:

• getting rid of downtime by using high availability and server load balancing
• segmenting with VLANs
• configuring route failover and route load balancing
• using service/source based routing with policy-based routing
• log receivers, SNMP monitoring and SNMP traps

This training is currently only delivered in the instructor-led + LAB format (duration: 1 day)

Clavister NetWall VPN

As a cost effective way to connect people and organizations securely, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have been and will continue to be massively used. But the only way to feel truly secure is to know the ins and outs of the technology. Clavister NetWall Virtual Private Network takes a deeper approach to the various VPN techniques available in a Clavister NGFW.

• understand fundamental concepts such as IPsec and IKE
• configure LAN to LAN VPN tunnels
• configure roaming VPN solutions using SSL, IKEv2
• authenticate users using certificates, PSK and RADIUS
• troubleshoot VPN tunnels

This training is currently only delivered in the instructor-led + LAB format (duration: 1 day)

Clavister NetWall Routing

Being also a powerful router, Clavister NGFWs offer many interesting possibilities in a variety of routing scenarios. This training gives you further insight on how to make the most of different routing mechanisms.

• static routing
• policy-based routing (PBR)
• dynamic routing/OSPF
• route failover and route load balancing
• virtual routing
• multicast routing
• transparent mode

This training is currently only delivered in the instructor-led + LAB format (duration: 1 day)

Self paced Clavister Firewalls (self-paced)

The Self-paced Clavister Firewalls Fundamentals is a training which covers not only the very basics of Clavister firewall administration but also some of the more common advanced features.
It consists of mobile friendly activities and exercises that can be completed in complete autonomy and later used as reference guides.
It is an alternative to the teacher-led and hands-on Clavister NetWall Fundamentals.
As such, this course includes 2 attempts for the official Clavister Fundamentals Certification.

This training provides you with the knowledge on how to:

   •  use the full range of administration and log management tools: CLI, web UI, InControl and InCenter
   •  understand basic concepts of routing, objects and security policies
   •  set up and use threat management features such as Intrusion Detection and Prevention, Application Control, NetEye, IP reputation, etc.
   •  configure LAN-to-LAN and roaming VPN tunnels the easy way

This training has an ILO+LAB version (please scroll up to learn more about it).

Become a Clavister NetShield Expert

Deep down at the heart of every NetShield service-based firewall (SBFW) lies cOS Stream. Clavister cOS Stream provides network security functions while delivering high throughput performance by fully utilizing the parallel processing advantages of multi-core hardware platforms. As Clavister’s second generation network security operating system offers seamless integration of all its subsystems, in-depth administrative control, as well as exposing a minimal attack surface which helps negate the risk from security attacks.

Clavister NetShield Fundamentals (ILO+LAB)

Clavister NetShield fundamentals is the first training to attend for anyone not familiar with Clavister’s high performance products.
