Palo Alto Networks Founder and CTO Nir Zuk has watched cybersecurity grow and evolve over the span of his career. Nearly 25 years ago, Zuk’s focus was on stateful inspection firewalls, which at the time dominated the market. Ten years later, when use of internet applications began to explode and challenge stateful inspection capabilities, a new approach was needed. This ultimately led Zuk to create Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall.

Charles Buege is a Fuel User Group member who has a home lab setup unlike most others. Using a commercial internet provider and running multiple firewalls, his home lab gives him plenty of hands-on learning experience that can translate into his daily work environment. Here he shares how he set up the Palo Alto Networks PA-220 next-generation firewall. Be sure to read his other Fuel blog post, “My Journey to SSL Decryption.”

Effective security solutions are just as much about how to deploy tools as what kind of tools are used. We recently caught up with Chris Bihary, CEO and co-founder of Garland Technology, and Patrick Nixdorf, system engineer for the company, who will co-present a webinar on September 19 that focuses on security solutions.

During the webinar, participants will review common Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) deployments and additional applications for multi-vendor security and monitoring tools. With Bihary and Nixdorf’s combined 20+ years of expertise, the webinar ultimately aims to educate and open minds on a variety of tools to help security experts be as prepared as possible in an unpredictable world.
