This book is a great resource complementary to Palo Alto Networks' own TechDocs. It provided great screenshots and explanations of the UI and I will be saving it as a resource when I run into issues with my own customers on the field. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I have worked with Tom in the past and I always knew he was very knowledgeable. After reading this book it also was apparent that Tom has a gift of simplification as it relates to passing on his knowledge to the reader who may know nothing of Palo Alto Networks Products.

David Maynard Jun 08, 2022

Another, well-thought-out book covering Palo Alto Networks Firewalls. Layed out in an easy-to-follow, informative manner. This book is a must-have for anyone starting out, or with advanced knowledge of Palo Alto Networks Firewalls to have on hand. Hopefully, Tom can include in future books more cloud architectures, covering the latest features for VM-Series like VMFLEX(NGFW Credits), Transit(hub&spoke), GWLB) and CN-Series for container security in Kubernetes.

Tom Piens’ Mastering Palo Alto Networks is a phenomenal guide to Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS based NGFWs. Tomhas put very hard efforts to make the book and contnet very very simple so that a begineer can easyly go through it and become a master of Palo alto device.The conbination of GUI and cli will clear all your confusion regarding any topic. Starting from the crash to build new device is explained extremely easy way. I gone through the whole book. As I had mid-level experience with palo. A chapter troubleshooting common session issue and deep dive into troubleshooting are explained. I am sure this chapter will enhance the troubleshooting skill of an engineer in a terrific way.A must recommended and a book that must be on your desk if you are working on the palo alto device. I personally always keep this book on my desk. Thank you Tom piens for this book.

My biggest takeaway from this book is the fact that along with showing how to configure and traverse the Palo Alto firewall, I was shown what the best practices are and guidance in troubleshooting techniques. This book is an one stop shop on everything Palo Alto firewall related and by the end you will have mastered it. I work with PANW NGFW's on a daily basis and this is going to be a great resource for me to have.
