As organizations transition to a digital business model, virtualization and cloud technologies play an increasing role. Speed, flexibility, elasticity, and integration are all critical features that cannot be inhibited when implementing an effective security strategy. Ultimately, it does not matter how fast you can deploy an appliance or VM if configuration is a manual process which requires a heavy administrative touch. Web services application programming interfaces (APIs) enable organizations to fully leverage the benefits of these dynamic architectures while offering an efficient communications method that promotes a robust and automated Security Fabric. Understanding the structure, function, and communication mechanisms of these APIs is critical for developing any custom interfaces. Attend this hands-on technical training workshop and gain hands-on experience automating configuration and policy deployment on FortiManager and FortiGate.
