Hands-On Lab Workshop: Zscaler Zero Trust – Branch Connector and Airgap
Join our virtual hands-on lab to explore Zscaler's Zero Trust Branch (ZTB) platform, focusing on Branch Connector and Airgap technologies. This session demonstrates how Zscaler's modern approach moves beyond legacy network architectures to enforce least-privilege access and advanced micro-segmentation. You'll see how each endpoint is isolated, dramatically reducing the attack surface and preventing lateral movement—crucial for containing breaches and limiting internal threats.
Participants will tour the Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA), Zscaler Private Access (ZPA), and Privileged Remote Access (PRA) consoles, and observe how policies and rule sets provide granular control over user and device access for both internal (East-West) and external (North-South) traffic. The lab is read-only, but you'll be able to view all Zscaler modules and their settings in action.

Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 1
This lab is the Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 1, and after completion, the student can launch Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 2 to complete the entire lab. The lab uses the ACI virtual simulator based on ACI Version 6.1(3f), emulating an APIC, 2 leafs, and a spine. Part 2 uses a shared physical ACI fabric to complete the policy and verify data plane connectivity.
The ACI Virtual Simulator was needed to demo the building of the ACI fabric from scratch, bootstrapping the APIC, adding the spine and leafs, fabric discovery, and completing VMM integration. Since the Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab, Part 2 is a shared on-demand environment, to decouple the APIC build process from the APIC policy creation. Due to limitations, the virtual ACI fabric is a control plane-only simulator, and no data plane testing (Ping, SSH) can get done for validation. Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 2 uses a Tenant inside of a physical ACI, and data plane functionality can get tested ( Ping, SSH)
