The SonicWall Network Security Administrator (SNSA) for SonicOS 7.0 curriculum provides students with the required background, knowledge, and hands-on experience to design, implement and troubleshoot SonicWall Network Security products. SonicOS 7 is SonicWall’s most advanced security operating system and is at the core of its latest physical and virtual firewalls, including models from the TZ, NSv, NSa and NSsp Series. SonicOS 7.0 features advanced security, simplified policy management, and critical networking and management capabilities for distributed enterprises and small- to medium-sized businesses with SD-branch support.

The Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) class connects the student with our experienced instructors in a live-online classroom using hands-on labs. The SNSA is designed to be a flexible and learner-centric blended curriculum that combines online learning with hands-on, instructor-led classroom training:

eLearning*: This course begins with fully immersive, self-paced online training modules that showcase the unique features and functionality of SonicOS 7 in a simulated application environment. These training modules also include interactive simulations that will guide you in leveraging the unique NGFW capabilities of a SonicWall NSv firewall.

Instructor-Led Training: The two-day instructor-guided portion of the curriculum provides a suite of intensive ILT scenario-based sessions, wherein you learn, in a risk-free lab environment, how to configure the SonicWall Next-Gen NSv firewall for network security, control and visibility.

*Activation keys are required to access the eLearning course modules, and you will be sent by your instructor one week before the class when you enroll.
