Overview of this book

This book builds on the content found in Mastering Palo Alto Networks, focusing on the different methods of establishing remote connectivity, automating log actions, and protecting against phishing attacks through user credential detection. Complete with step-by-step instructions, practical examples, and troubleshooting tips, you will gain a solid understanding of how to configure and deploy Palo Alto Networks remote access products. As you advance, you will learn how to design, deploy, and troubleshoot large-scale end-to-end user VPNs. Later, you will explore new features and discover how to incorporate them into your environment. By the end of this Palo Alto Networks book, you will have mastered the skills needed to design and configure SASE-compliant remote connectivity and prevent credential theft with credential detection.

To get the most out of this book

To get the most out of this book, it is highly recommended that you have a small lab at your disposal with two firewalls, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2016. Access to a Panorama management server would be helpful to follow the covered material but not required. Familiarity with IPSec, syslog, and accessing systems through CLI is recommended, as well as working experience with PAN-OS. Basic knowledge of Palo Alto Networks, network protocols, and network design would be helpful, so reading Mastering Palo Alto Networks first is recommended.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code via the GitHub repository (link available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
