Learning Paths and Labs
WWT's Labs and Learning provides on-demand and hands-on education with practical experience and skill-building.
Zscaler Zero Trust Branch - Branch Connector and Airgap
In this lab, we will look at how the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange unifies our ability to deploy a zero trust methodology. First we will take you on a tour of the working consoles that relate to Zscaler Branch Connector and Airgap technologies. We will view all the policies and rule sets that make up the Zscaler Internet Access and Zscaler Private Access giving our organization granular control over user and device access both internally (East-West traffic) and externally (North-South traffic). This is a read only lab and you will be able to try the access set up already and view all the Zscaler modules and their settings.

Zscaler - Zero Trust Branch (ZTB) and Airgap
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.
Learning Path
Fortinet Secure SD-WAN
The Fortinet Secure SD-WAN Learning Path is designed to build both foundational knowledge and hands-on skills with Fortinet's SD-WAN solution, aimed at anyone with fundamental networking knowledge interested in exploring SD-WAN using a Fortinet Solution.

HIMSS Federal Healthcare Networking Reception
Federal Civilian: Federal Healthcare
PLANS TBD!!!
HIMSS remains a high-impact event for WWT, generating $2M in pipeline in FY25 and directly contributing to wins such as the CMS Cloud Assessment with NGS. It also continues to open doors for new opportunities with key partners including Dell, Cisco, Juniper, and GDIT. Given its consistent track record in driving visibility, strengthening relationships, and delivering measurable business outcomes, HIMSS remains a must-attend event for the Federal Healthcare team. WWT will elevate its presence at this year's event by hosting a targeted federal healthcare networking reception, building on last year's branding-only sponsorship. WWT will engage directly with approximately 150 key customers, prospects, and partners in an exclusive setting.
