Real-world use case
To administer Stormshield firewalls installed at my clients' sites, I took the Network Administrator certification.
The "Stormshield Network Administrator" training path is designed for network security professionals. The online course catalog covers the following modules:
- Getting started with the firewall
- Logs and monitoring
- Objects
- Network configuration
- Network Address Translation (NAT)
- Filtering
- Application protection
- Users and authentication
- Virtual private networks
- SSL VPN
The training takes about 3 days. You should then allow around 1h30 for the certification exam itself: Stormshield Network Administrator.
Conclusion
The Stormshield Network Administrator certification validates the ability to administer a Stormshield firewall on a daily basis: getting started, objects, NAT, filtering, authentication, and SSL VPN. With about 3 days of training and a 1h30 exam, it remains accessible while covering the essentials of network and security administration needs. A good practical complement to more general certifications on infrastructure security.
