Course Description
The Panorama: Centralized Network Security Administration (PAN-CNSA) course is a two-day, instructor-led training focused on configuring and managing Palo Alto Networks Panorama management servers. You will develop practical skills for using Panorama to centralize security policy administration, enforce consistent configurations across distributed firewall deployments, and manage network security from a single console. This course is designed for security administrators and network engineers responsible for operating multi-site or enterprise-scale Palo Alto Networks environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the PAN-CNSA Panorama course cover?
PAN-CNSA covers how to configure and operate Palo Alto Networks Panorama for centralized security administration. Topics include device group policy management, template stacks, centralized logging, aggregated reporting, and delegated administrative roles across a distributed firewall estate.
What is the difference between PAN-NGFW and PAN-CNSA?
PAN-NGFW focuses on using Panorama to manage individual next-generation firewalls, while PAN-CNSA takes a broader view of centralized network security administration including managing distributed deployments, delegating administration, and enterprise-scale operations.
Is EDU-210 required before PAN-CNSA?
Yes. Completion of Firewall Essentials: Configuration and Management (EDU-210) is a required prerequisite. Familiarity with Palo Alto Networks NGFW management is expected before attending.
