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.
Integrating Dataminr into a Palo Alto Networks–Centric Platform

Cisco ACI Segmentation Migration Lab
Over the past few years many customers deploying ACI have opted for using the "Network-Centric" approach for implementing their ACI installations. Customers who no want to migrate to a Application-Centric approach often find their workloads are spread across multiple subnets, and grouping them by application is difficult. This lab provides a technique on how to make this migration simpler
