How the Specialization Works
Take Courses
A Coursera Specialization is a series of courses that helps you master a skill. To begin, enroll in the Specialization directly, or review its courses and choose the one you'd like to start with. When you subscribe to a course that is part of a Specialization, you’re automatically subscribed to the full Specialization. It’s okay to complete just one course — you can pause your learning or end your subscription at any time. Visit your learner dashboard to track your course enrollments and your progress.
Hands-on Project
Every Specialization includes a hands-on project. You'll need to successfully finish the project(s) to complete the Specialization and earn your certificate. If the Specialization includes a separate course for the hands-on project, you'll need to finish each of the other courses before you can start it.
Earn a Certificate
When you finish every course and complete the hands-on project, you'll earn a Certificate that you can share with prospective employers and your professional network.

Juniper Networks Security Concepts and Initial Configuration
In this course, you will be introduced to Juniper’s basic network security design concepts. You will learn about the Junos operating system (Junos OS) along with SRX Series security devices. You will learn the basics of the Junos CLI and J-Web user interfaces including initial configuration tasks and basic interface configuration. The course will explain the concepts of security zone objects, screen objects, address objects, service objects and how they are configured. The different types of security policies and their purpose will be explored along with an explanation on how to implement security policies on SRX Series devices.
Security Features and Advanced Threat Prevention
In this course, we will describe security services such as Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), user-based firewalls, and how they are configured. You will be introduced to Juniper’s security features, such as antivirus, antispam, content filtering, and Web filtering, along with their functionality and usage. Juniper ATP Cloud (Juniper’s cloud-based Advanced Threat Prevention (ATP) service) will be introduced, along with its features, implementation, and monitoring. The course will also explain a very important feature of firewall security—Network Address Translation (NAT).
Security Platforms, IPsec, and Troubleshooting
This course will begin by examining IPsec VPNs and their functionality. You will learn how IPsec VPNs are configured, implemented, and monitored. You will then be introduced to Juniper’s highly flexible SSL VPN application—Juniper Secure Connect—examining its features, configuration, deployment, and monitoring. SRX Series troubleshooting, monitoring, and maintenance will also be examined along with an overview of the different types of SRX Series devices and interfaces.
