00:00:04.740 --> 00:00:09.920
Welcome to Pluralsight in the Security Architecture and Engineering Tools

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:15.240
course, featuring pfSense, the open source tool maintained by the team at

00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:20.320
Netgate. Firewalls are everywhere in today's world where organizations seek

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:25.620
to secure resources or networks. You, the cybersecurity professional working

00:00:25.620 --> 00:00:29.710
with the network infrastructure, can provide a great amount of value to your

00:00:29.710 --> 00:00:34.950
organization by understanding both the role pfSense plays as a firewall and

00:00:34.950 --> 00:00:39.450
how pfSense can be used to help manage authentication and access control.

00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:45.180
PfSense is a tool that allows us to build segmentation into the network,

00:00:45.190 --> 00:00:49.160
control network traffic, and terminate VPN connections.

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:53.740
It also has many expanded features such as adding in

00:00:53.740 --> 00:00:58.140
NetFlow capabilities, IDS and IPS‑type inspection, and

00:00:58.140 --> 00:01:00.860
serving as a CA server, to name a few.

00:01:01.650 --> 00:01:06.330
In this course, we'll be focusing on pfSense in relation to the

00:01:06.330 --> 00:01:09.860
Protect function of the NIST cybersecurity framework.

00:01:10.550 --> 00:01:14.380
Specifically, we'll be looking at the identity management,

00:01:14.390 --> 00:01:19.250
authentication, and access control category and its subcategories,

00:01:19.250 --> 00:01:26.660
PR.AC‑3 and PR.AC‑5, which ensures that remote access is managed

00:01:26.660 --> 00:01:30.200
properly and that the network integrity is protected.

00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:35.910
So come join me, Joe Abraham, as we learn about Identity Management,

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:44.550
Authentication, and Access Control with pfSense here at Pluralsight.
