Once you've mastered the basics of Palo Alto's NGFW with the fundamentals Learning Path, it's time to continue your education with the intermediate LP. This Learning Path will teach you topics that help get further use out of your NGFW such as SSL Decryption. Once you've configured SSL Decryption, the NGFW will be able to defend your network in new ways, including URL Filtering, Credential Detection, DGA Detection, DNS Sinkholes, and more!

Generative AI is a cutting-edge technology that has been making waves across various industries in recent years. Unlike traditional AI systems that are designed to analyze and interpret existing data, generative AI has the remarkable ability to create entirely new content, from text and images to music and even code. This revolutionary technology leverages complex machine learning algorithms and neural networks to understand patterns and structures in vast amounts of data, enabling it to generate original and often highly realistic outputs. As generative AI continues to evolve and improve, it promises to transform creative processes, problem-solving, and innovation across numerous fields, from art and entertainment to scientific research and product development. Learn about what Generative AI is and how it works, in this Learning Path.

Dive into the fascinating world of AI Agents in this comprehensive learning path that transforms beginners into creators. You'll explore what agents truly are and discover the inner workings that make them tick, from decision-making algorithms to execution frameworks. The journey continues with an in-depth look at the tools agents leverage and tasks they excel at, preparing you for the hands-on lab where you'll build your very own agent from scratch. By the end, you'll have both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in creating these powerful digital assistants that are revolutionizing how we interact with technology and solve complex problems.

Zscaler, the leader in cloud security, brings together several of their technologies in their Zero Trust Exchange to implement, improve, and bolster your zero trust architecture (ZTA) within your organization. Utilizing their Zero Trust Exchange at the core of their technologies, it weave together secure internet access with Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA), private network access using Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) eliminating the need for traditional VPNs, data loss protection (DLP) and cloud access security broker (CASB) incorporated in Zscaler Data Protection, and network segmentation implementing Zscaler Airgap - their agentless micro-segmentation technology, all to reduce your attack surface and combining this all into a single enhanced platform. In this learning path, we are going to focus on our Zero Trust Branch and Airgap technologies and how they can together, improve your ZTA.

In this learning path you will gain a fundamental understanding of AI security by exploring topics such as the AI development lifecycle, data flow during this lifecycle, as well as attack surfaces present in the AI development lifecycle. You will also learn about topics such as the attacks that AI models face and the risks of user data and privacy when it comes to AI.
