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.

Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to make the management interface more resilient and secure. You are now able to enforce a security baseline on password complexity so that administrators are no longer able to set a weak password. You are also able to apply a more robust TLS profile to the management interface and you can limit access to the various interfaces. You are now able to set up MineMeld and activate threat feeds to tighten security against known malicious actors or dynamically load custom URL categories.

In the next chapter, we will learn to prevent phishing attacks by setting up User-Credential Detection by leveraging URL Filtering and User Identification.
