Configuring BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator (SSLO)

Learn how to deploy and operate F5 SSL Orchestrator to maximize infrastructure investments, efficiencies, and security with dynamic, policy-based encryption, decryption, and traffic steering through multiple inspection devices. Combining hands-on lab exploration with instructor-led lectures, gain practical experience implementing comprehensive encrypted traffic protection using SSL Orchestrator Guided Configuration. Build deployments for transparent and explicit forward proxies, gateway reverse proxies and existing application protecting inbound enterprise traffic, then modify those deployments changing a gateway to application mode and applying TLS v1.3 requirements. Incorporate multiple security devices at layer 2 and layer 3 with ICAP and receive-only devices in varying topology deployments.

Explore interception rules and context-based policies allowing for targeted SSL visibility based on context engine steering using geolocation, IP reputation and URL categorization. Implement dynamic service chaining of security devices to provide service insertion, service resiliency, service monitoring, and load balancing in hands-on lab scenarios. Discuss the essentials of PKI and certificates with lab practice to import certificates and private keys, then incorporate into security configurations for each topology deployment.

This course is intended for network administrators and Security Operations responsible for installation, setup, configuration, and administration of the F5 SSL Orchestrator system.
