M7 — Deployment, Connectors and Migration

Planning a forwarding method for each site and population

Branch, remote and roaming user deployment patterns

Migrating from firewall and VPN to ZIA and ZPA in waves

A full timed practice exam under real conditions

Scoring by objective to isolate weak policy areas
