OBJECTIVES

After completing this course, you will be able to:

 Position FortiMail in an existing or new email infrastructure using any of the flexible

deployment modes

 Understand the system architecture of FortiMail: how email flows through its modules; how it applies intelligent routing and policies to email; and how it can protect the priceless

reputation of your message transfer agent (MTA)

 Use your existing LDAP server to manage and authenticate users

 Secure email transmission using best-in-class technologies, such as SMTPS, SMTP over TLS, and identity-based encryption (IBE)

 Throttle client connections to block MTA abuse

 Block spam using sophisticated techniques, such as deep header inspection, spam outbreak, heuristics, and the FortiGuard Antispam service

 Eliminate spear phishing and zero-day viruses

 Integrate FortiMail with FortiSandbox for advanced threat protection (ATP)

 Prevent accidental or intentional leaks of confidential and regulated data

 Archive email for compliance

 Deploy high availability (HA) and redundant infrastructure for maximum up-time of mission-critical email

 Diagnose common issues related to email and FortiMail

NOTE: This course covers gateway and server mode in depth. This course also covers transparent mode, however, if you require a course on the use of transparent mode in carrier environments, you should order customized training.
