Course Outline

  • Module 1: Getting Started with Zero Trust

This section will describe the course content, define ZT, and explain the resources you will use throughout the course, including the basic lab architecture.

  • Module 2: ZT Lab Introduction

This section will provide your role in the labs and show a high-level architecture of the solution you will implement throughout your hands-on labs.

  • Module 3: Integrating an Identity Provider policy

In this section, you will use your SAML authentication to integrate Cloudflare access with an Identity Provider (IdP).

  • Module 4: . Installing a WARP client and configuring Device Posture

Once your IdP is configured in the previous lab, you can enroll your client with a WARP supplicant. Like a VPN client, a WARP client allows you to protect user traffic by sending it securely and privately from the user’s device to Cloudflare’s edge network.

  • Module 5: Cloudflare Tunnel and Zero Trust Network Access

After your WARP client is connected to Cloudflare, this hands-on lab will have you onboard your fictitious company’s applications. This will provide granular access control to all your applications, including internal on-prem apps, apps hosted in private clouds, and SaaS apps.

  • Module 6: Zero Trust Private Network

This hands-on lab will teach you how to implement an intranet application. so only specific user access is granted to the resources.

  • Module 7: In-browser SSH terminal

In this last hands-on lab of section 1, we will use Cloudflare Access to render an SSH terminal in a web browser.

  • Module 8: Gateway policies (SWG)

This hands-on lab will have you set up Cloudflare Gateway, a comprehensive Secure Web Gateway (SWG)that allows you to configure policies to inspect DNS, Network, HTTP, and Egress traffic.

  • Module 9: Browser Isolation

This section will have you configured Internet-native Remote Browser Isolation (RBI), which allows you to layer additional threat defense and data protection controls across browsing activities. Also, you can insulate local devices from malware by running all browser codes on Cloudflare’s global network. All of this combines to deliver a lightning-fast browsing experience for end users.

  • Module 10: App Launcher

App Launcher lets your users conveniently view and open all secure applications they have access to, and bookmarks, they can access from a single dashboard.

  • Module 11: Non-identity on-ramp

This hands-on lab will have you configure your browser to forward traffic to a Gateway proxy endpoint. You can isolate HTTP traffic from on-ramps such as proxy endpoint or Magic WAN.

  • Module 12: Tenant control

For the final exercise, you will set up tenant control for a SaaS application. Your task is to authenticate to our SaaS application and retrieve a completion token by adding an HTTP header with a shared secret to your request.
