After this course you can set up FortiAnalyzer 7.6 and run it reliably: you register devices, organise them in ADOMs, secure administrative access, control log storage, retention and encryption and build an HA cluster. You create and manage reports that people actually use day to day. The course suits you if you already work with FortiGate and want to take over or rebuild central logging for your Fortinet environment.
