Check Point Cybersecurity Boot Camp CCSA & CCSE
The Check Point Cybersecurity Boot Camp CCSA & CCSE is an educational experience designed for participants who want to gain a solid foundation in Check Point security technologies and solutions, as well as hone their skills in the field. The boot camp combines the content of the Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) and Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) courses into one highly effective training experience. During the course, participants explore a series of theoretical and practical lessons that cover various topics, including configuring and managing Check Point security systems, implementing security policies, troubleshooting, and using advanced technologies and tools. Technologies covered include firewalls, VPNs, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), mobile access, data loss prevention (DLP), and unified threat management (UTM). Participants learn how to design, implement, and manage enterprise security solutions, as well as how to identify and resolve complex issues that may arise when installing and managing these solutions. The course contributes to the preparation for the Check Point CCSA and CCSE Certification exam
