The PCNSE certification validates the knowledge and skills required for network security engineers who design, deploy, operate, manage, and troubleshoot Palo Alto Networks firewalls. PCNSE certified individuals have demonstrated in-depth knowledge of the Palo Alto Networks product portfolio and can make full use of it in the vast majority of implementations. The PCNSE validates that engineers can correctly deploy firewalls while leveraging the rest of the platform.

The PCNSA certification validates the knowledge and skills required for network security administrators responsible for deploying and operating Palo Alto Networks firewalls. PCNSA certified individuals have demonstrated knowledge of the Palo Alto Networks NGFW feature set and in the Palo Alto Networks product portfolio core components. The PCNSA seeks to identify people who can operate Palo Alto Networks firewalls to protect networks from cutting-edge cyber threats.

People with this certification have the fundamental knowledge necessary to application delivery architects and application delivery engineers working with BIG-IP DNS, including the ability to understand the basic operation of the DNS protocol, deploy and test configurations, and troubleshoot and remedy common misconfigurations. These individuals also are able to explain the capabilities of DNS services to deploy applications globally.

Identifies individuals qualified to design, implement, maintain, and troubleshoot advanced F5 product features to enhance the effectiveness of an application delivery network. They possess an understanding of underlying principles—from SSL-based VPN implementation to symmetric and asymmetric acceleration—and can draw on that insight to integrate BIG-IP LTM into existing networks as well as new implementations.

The F5 Certified! Administrator (F5-CA) designation is applied to individuals who possess knowledge and understanding of the concepts and technology-standards applicable to the day-to-day operations of F5 products in diverse environments. These individuals have a basic understanding of the fundamental concepts, configurations, and processes necessary to maintain a healthy installation, identify issues, and provide basic fault isolation to assist senior engineers in correcting malfunctions.

Verifies the skills needed to develop a security infrastructure, recognize threats and vulnerabilities to networks, and mitigate security threats. The CCNA Security curriculum emphasizes core security technologies, the installation, troubleshooting and monitoring of network devices to maintain integrity, confidentiality and availability of data and devices, and competency in the technologies that Cisco uses in its security structure.

Earners of Cisco CCNA - Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA) have demonstrated knowledge and skills related to network fundamentals, network access, IP connectivity, IP services, security fundamentals, and automation and programmability.
