In this course, you will learn the setup, configuration, and validation of Vyos platform within an enterprise environment, and how to set up VyOS API thus enabling a programmatically approach to VyOS configuration.

VyOS is a powerful virtual network device, acting as Router, L3 switch, Firewall, and VPN gateway. VyOS can be deployed in a wide range of scenario, from on-premises infrastructure to public cloud (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform). In this course, Identity Management, Authentication, and Access Control with VyOS, you'll cover how to utilize VyOS platform to secure a live enterprise environment. First, you'll learn how the VyOS platform fits into the broader view of enterprise network security as per NIST SP 800-53. You'll be given an overview of VyOS main features and deployment models. Next, you'll learn how to deploy VyOS platform and how to enable RESTful API, which will be used to enable a programmatic approach. Finally, you'll learn how to configure VyOS to enforce network segregation and segmentation by leveraging on the VyOS northbound API by means of simple python scripts. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge to protect your enterprise environment from network lateral movement attacks by putting in place a firewall policy which enforces segregation and segmentation.
