Livermore
Software Laboratories, Intl. has been teaching two courses
on firewalls using PORTUS since January 1st,1997.
The
first is a general course on firewalls and network security.
It covers the development of security policies, the use of
firewalls, and the testing of firewalls; the full description
accompanies this letter. LSLI uses PORTUS as its primary firewall
for the "hands-on" component in this class. The
second course is the PORTUS technical training course previously
offered by LSLI. The instructors take elements of the first
course and add a detailed focus on PORTUS, its set-up, configuration,
maintenance, and testing. Both courses are five days long,
taught out of LSLI's Houston offices, and offered on an appointment
basis.
We strongly
encourage you and your technical staff to attend these classes.
They will provide you with a detailed understanding of PORTUS,
and also secure networking and network management. Completion
of the course will earn the student certification in network
security from LSLI and certification in PORTUS administration.
