Kolas Firewall Academy

KOLAS company brings you training focused on security gateway equipment - FortiGate firewall.

The aim of the training is to impart knowledge useful in setting up and overall management of the FortiGate device independently without having to study manuals, documentation or search for procedures using ChatGPT.

Our lecturers are certified experts (NSE8 CERTIFIED). They have gained their experience from real-life practice, so they will be able to impart knowledge that you won't find in manuals (and AI).

The courses will also include demonstrations of practical exercises - the so-called labs. This means that the information that will be lectured during the training courses will bring you not only important theoretical knowledge, but also practical experience. 

The training is divided according to difficulty into "FortiGate BASIC" and "FortiGate ADVANCED".

Each training also includes space for discussion among participants, which enriches the overall benefit of the training with case studies and examples from practice. 

 
FortiGate BASIC (2-day training) 

The aim of the training is to impart the knowledge and experience needed to work with the FortiGate firewall on a daily basis. 

The training will take place over two days.
