Palo Alto Networks Certified Cybersecurity Entry-level Technician
In order to store, process, and distribute data and applications, an organization’s IT operations and hardware are centralised in a data centre. Data centres are essential to the continuity of everyday operations because they store the most important and proprietary assets of a business. As a result, security and dependability rank highly in every firm.
The public cloud has since altered the traditional model of tightly regulated physical environments for data centre infrastructures. In most current infrastructures, virtualized infrastructure that supports applications and workloads across multicloud environments has replaced on-premises physical servers. Workloads for applications are dispersed among numerous data centres and private, public, and hybrid clouds.
Introducing the Palo Alto Networks Certified Cybersecurity Entry-level Technician!
The updated and enhanced fundamental certification, the Palo Alto Networks Certified Cybersecurity Entry-level Technician, has been released by the team at Palo Alto Networks Education Services (PCCET). This certification is intended for college students, technical professionals, and non-technical professionals who want to demonstrate that they have a thorough understanding of contemporary cybersecurity principles. The Palo Alto Networks Certified Cybersecurity Associate will be replaced by the PCCET (PCCSA). Deliveries of the PCCSA will continue till January 31, 2021. The PCCET will include advanced updates that cover all of the most recent developments in Palo Alto Networks technologies. PCCET registration is accessible from January 1 through January 31, 2021.
Those with PCCSA certifications will be grandfathered into the updated PCCET certification structure. Individuals must take and pass the new exam to recertify as PCCETs or take a higher level certification exam when their present PCCSA certification expires.
Broadening the Scope with a New Credential
It’s critical that our basic certification keep up with technological advancements as we expand our offering. A knowledge-based certification on the foundations of cybersecurity, the renamed PCCET will serve as the gateway to the full Palo Alto Networks credentialing programme. The revised certification will evaluate a person’s understanding of firewalls as well as the cloud and automation functions of Prisma and Cortex, whereas the prior version was primarily focused on Strata (Firewall). Palo Alto Networks Education Services has also taken initiatives to comply with industry standards in accordance with the NIST/NICE (National Institute of Standards and Technology/National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education) workforce framework as the cybersecurity landscape becomes more complicated.

Important Dates
Launch day for the PCCET is set for January 31, 2021. On January 1, 2021, people will be able to sign up to take the exam. On November 4, 2020, we will be hosting a webinar with additional details and an opportunity for questions about the PCCET. In November, more educational materials with more details on how to be ready for the new exam will also be made available. The beta exam will be offered at the Palo Alto Networks Ignite conference for interested applicants.
For candidates and companies, it is crucial that we update our certifications to reflect the most recent technologies. Our core certification is being upgraded so we can meet the demands of the shifting market. Watch this space for updates on our most recent PCCET exam!
Data Center Security Considerations
The data centre is now a hybrid of traditional and cloud computing technologies rather than a closed environment with static, hardware-based computing resources. Although it increases economic prospects for IT firms, the hybrid cloud data centre also brings with it new threats.
The wider attack surface offered by data centres that span many clouds can lead to more complicated networking and cybersecurity systems. Regardless of the design, it is essential to keep complete visibility and exact control of your data centre. Also, it’s critical to create a best practise technique for data centre security that is independent of the various operating environments.
A perimeter firewall serves as the only point of traffic inspection and control for legacy security systems, which often have flat network designs. Traditional port-based firewalls have limited utility in a cloud and mobile environment since network boundaries don’t exist as frequently and most data centre traffic is east-west.
Effective security must create trust zones within an organization’s internal network and provide perimeter security. By the use of security services like intrusion prevention and Domain Name System (DNS) security, this makes sure that communication between apps and services with varying levels of trust is filtered in real time. Public clouds must receive the same level of protection in order to maintain network security and segmentation in hybrid environments.
To follow workloads everywhere, security needs to be enforced on the host, network fabric, and perimeter. Best practises implementation will improve the protection of application workloads and dynamic data.
The following steps can be used to roll out an updated strategy:
- Set goals by defining the ideal future state of your data center network. Be sure to include data center infrastructure management and IT service management considerations.
- Develop an access strategy by working with stakeholders in IT/Support and Security. Include all groups that require data center access, like Engineering and Legal.
- Assess your data center to understand its current state so you can create a plan to reach your desired future state.
- Create a data center segmentation strategy to help reduce risk and business impact. The goal should be to prevent hackers from stealing data and stop malware from infecting other systems.
- Plan to use a best practice methodology to inspect all traffic, gain complete visibility, reduce the attack surface, and prevent known and unknown threats everywhere.
- Phase in best practices over time.
