Master Centralized Firewall Management, Policy Automation & Multi‑Device Administration
This course teaches you the complete fundamentals and practical skills needed to deploy and operate FortiManager, Fortinet’s centralized network administration platform for managing multiple FortiGate devices. Through interactive labs, you will learn how to streamline configuration management, automate policy deployment, organize multi‑tenant environments, and troubleshoot real‑world issues — all using FortiManager 7.2.

With FortiManager, you can centralize configuration, enforce consistent security policies, reduce human error, maintain clean inventories, and implement approval workflows that prevent misconfigurations and downtime.
This course includes a full EVE‑NG lab environment you can install on your own computer at no additional cost, allowing you to practice everything hands‑on.
