Fortinet Central Management and Log analysis Training Program
Master FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer to centrally manage your
Fortinet estate, standardize security policies, and turn logs into
actionable insights for faster, smarter incident response.
This intensive, hands-on program is designed for teams managing distributed FortiGate deployments who want to move beyond ad-hoc, device-by-device configuration. You’ll learn how to use FortiManager for centralized policy and configuration management, and FortiAnalyzer for log collection, visualization, and investigation. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to confidently operate Fortinet central management tools in production, reducing configuration drift, improving visibility, and strengthening your overall security posture.
What you’ll cover:
Role of FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer in the Fortinet Security Fabric
Deploying and onboarding multiple FortiGate devices into a central management platform
Designing and maintaining reusable policy packages and shared objects
Configuring secure, reliable log collection and retention
Building and scheduling reports and alerts for technical and management stakeholders
