Grapevine, TX – April 22, 2009 – Acclaim Networks announced plans to sponsor certified regional training for WatchGuard firewall administration, to be held in Dallas, June 10-12. The classes will be offered at the Las Colinas Executive Suites, 320 Decker Dr, Suite 100 in Irving, TX 75062.

“This is the first time WatchGuard has held certified training in this south-central region in several years, and we’re excited to help make it available to WatchGuard users across the Dallas – Ft. Worth area,” said Acclaim Networks’ Technical Manager, Patrick Blankenship. “The course will be an invaluable tool for teaching IT adminstrators how to configure and manage their WatchGuard firewalls so they can acheive maximum protection for their networks and realize the fastest rate of return on their firewall investment,” said Blankenship.

At the training, students will be provided everything they need: a firewall, laptop, student guides, and a custom Firewalling Basics addendum filled with tips, tricks, and other resources that will help you in your day to day job. Students are encouraged to bring in network maps of their systems, as well as a copy of their firewall config files. After class the instructor will spend one-on-one time with students reviewing their networks, as well as making recommendations how to lock down their firewall more effectively.

Modules covered in the training include: Architecture, Navigation, Basics, Logging, Network, NAT, Authentication, Policies, Proxies, Monitor, Report, Defenses, IPS, Antivirus, MUVPN, SpamBlocker, Managed BOVPN, Maunal BOVPN, and Centralized Management.

Seating will be extremely limited in order to maintain a low teacher/student ratio, and interested participants are encouraged to register early. Single student price is $2,395 for the 3-day course. All registered attendees will also be eligible to win a free X10e Wireless firewall. Interested students should call (888) 327-5647, or click http://watchguardindallas.eventbrite.com/ to register.
