Juniper Security Training Courses 

Network security training courses in Juniper include two parts

1) Juniper firewalls with net screen operating system

2) Juniper firewalls with Junos operating system related to SRX series. Because there is more demand for Juniper SRX series courses, Juniper training courses along with the course syllabus are given in this document.

As far as you are concerned, Juniper security firewalls are one of the best security firewalls in the world and are currently used in many public and private organizations. Students of this course not only become familiar with various concepts of network security and Juniper firewall configuration, but they will also familiarize themselves with various computer network intrusion prevention methods.

 
 
 

 

Juniper training course is a subcategory of network security in which 50% of network security concepts are mentioned in practical terms and 50% are related to the configuration of Juniper SRX series firewall equipment.

 

Juniper firewalls network security course students should get four major certificates to gain this course’s knowledge and technical capabilities. The certificates include the following list in order:

۱)  JNCIA-JUNOS

۲) JNCIS-SEC

۳) JNCIP-ENT

۴) JNCIA-SEC

To get each of the mentioned certificates, specific courses should be taken. The table below shows the courses related to each of these certificates.
