What to do next?

[ugadd]

Hi everyone.

I've been taking a course on Udemy about infrastructure and security with FGTs. I'm almost done with the course but I'd like to know any website where I can find resources like guides and things to do to practice by my myselft so I can get almost a real experience deploying policies and other configurations which are used in a real company.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ugadd,

Appreciate the enthusiasm is learning the FortiGate products.

are you looking for a guide books you can visit https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.0.0/new-features/770045/overview

If you need to deploy FortiGate in the lab environment, you can use GNS3 or EVE-NG, etc. simulation tools to build virtual labs using real-world network components.

Regards,

Chandan
