Training

Bradford Networks has created a curriculum that enables customers and partners to achieve the desired level of expertise needed to design, implement, and administer Bradford’s Adaptive Network Security (ANS) platform. Instructor lead courses combine instruction with hands-on labs that simulate actual operations within a production network.

Courses are offered by Bradford and our Certified Training Partners at regional locations and on-site.

Administration and Operation

Introduction to
Network Sentry Foundation		 Learn about the key features and benefits of the Network Sentry solution for providing effective security for your network from today’s ever changing technology.
Fundamentals Provide students the knowledge skills and practical experience to administer the Bradford Network Sentry solution. Using lecture and labs the class provides the technical understanding and hands-on experience to gain complete visibility of all users and devices, define security policies, establish event criteria, schedule tasks and enable automated actions.
Advanced Course builds upon concepts introduced in Fundamentals and extends this through Bradford Solutions and Extensions enabling the student to understand and implement advanced topics.

  • Develop and apply security access policies to identify and associate users to their devices
  • Create templates and accounts for guest management delegation to secure network access of guests
  • Develop and apply roll-based security policies to identify and associate users of shared workstations
  • Develop and apply security access policies for known devices
  • Develop and create endpoint compliance policies to validate the security posture of different types of devices
  • Develop device profiles using multiple profiling factors to dynamically classify devices
  • Integrate with third-party security systems and correlate device information to enhance security and control
