Working with the TechNow lab for the PA-215: Palo Alto Networks Firewall Essentials FastTrack course has been nothing less than a techie's idea of fun. When students come in we are immediatly configuring the Cisco 3750 switches for access ports, VLANS, and trunks. We then cable the switch to the Palo Alto Networks Firewall. Each student gets their own Palo Alto Firewall Pod of hardware and software. What we find as fun is the VLAN environment, with an array of virtual machines hosted on an ESXi server that can really exercise the abilities of the Palo Alto Firewall. The DMZ VLAN hosts virtual machines that support enterprise services and also potentialy vulnerable web services. The Trust VLAN has Windows and Linux clients. The UnTrust VLAN has Web services and a VM of Kali. The hardware Firewall is additionally connected to a Management VLAN. All those VLANs are trunked into an ESXi server where the student also has a VM-Series Palo Alto Networks Firewall for High Availability.
After configuring all the trunking, VLANs, and network interfaces we learn about the firewall and configure it for the lab environment. Using Metasploitable and Kali/Metasploit nefarious penetration attempts are executed. Using packet captures, custom APP-ID's and custom signatures are generated. Custom logging and reporting are created to similate and enterprise and assist the desired Incident Response. It is always fun in a training environment to learn all about the controls available in a product, even though specific controls may not be used in the operational environment. In the end we have a good understanding of the Palo Alto Networks Firewall.
Learn to protect yourself and your company against hackers, by learning their tools and techniques, and then testing your network. This course is heavily based on Kali and primarily on Metasploit. In TN-315: Complete Hack and Defend class you will learn the step by step process that hackers use to assess your enterprise network, probe it & hack into it in mixed-platform environment including Windows, Linux, Solaris, and Cisco. This course is 90% hacking, but defenses for demonstrated hacks will be discussed. If you want to know the ins and outs of the hacks presented in this course, then this is the course for you.
Attendees to TN-315: Complete Hack & Defend Class Attendees will receive TechNow approved course materials and expert instruction.
Certified Offensive AI Security Professional (COASP) validates the competencies required for practitioners who need to demonstrate offensive AI security skills, emulating adversaries, validating defenses, and leading red-team/blue-team exercises to keep AI resilient, reliable, and auditable
The Certified Offensive AI Security Professional (COASP) equips you to identify and neutralize AI-specific threats before attackers do. And Bridges security, engineering, and data science so controls exist across the full AI life cycle.
Participants will gain hands-on experience to perform end-to-end adversarial testing and deliver defensive validation evidence including the ability to simulate adversarial AI kill chains, Harden AI architectures by secure system prompts, context windows, tool integrations, RAG pipelines, and agent memory, Conducting AI security assessments aligned to MITRE ATLAS, OWASP LLM/ML Top 10, NIST AI RMF, and DoD Test & Evaluation practices , This course covers how to build SOC-ready capabilities for AI-focused detection logic, incident playbooks, and forensic procedures , & how to execute prompt injection, adversarial prompting , Assess AI supply-chain risk , Implement defensive engineering controls and Produce assurance and compliance artifacts.
By the end of the course, learners will be well-prepared to take the Certified Offensive AI Security Professional (COASP) exam and demonstrate the ability to exploit vulnerabilities in LLMs and agents, and build defense that survive real world attacks, learners will master offensive techniques that break AI before the attackers do.
