The Palo Alto NGFW Intermediate Lab is a hand-on virtual environment where you'll be able to complete the exercises you see in the Intermediate learning path as well as several new practicals. The Intermediate lab focuses on tasks like SSL Decryption, URL Filtering, and DNS Tunneling. Just like the Foundations lab, the Intermediate lab is built upon the same infrastructure. While there is a guide that you can follow along with, you can also explore the environment and test any configuration you'd like.

The Palo Alto NGFW Foundations Lab is a capability of the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the fundamental features of Palo Alto's solution. The environment that supports the lab is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.
