Palo Alto · 1:1 Mentorship Enrolling now

Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity Practitioner (formerly PCCET)

The entry-level Palo Alto cybersecurity cert US SOC-Analyst-I roles ask for by name.

Live 1:1 mentorship for the Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity Practitioner exam, the foundational certification that took over from the retired PCCET. Your mentor teaches every exam area in live video classes and builds a study plan around your schedule: cybersecurity fundamentals, network security and secure access, cloud security, endpoint security, and security operations with Palo Alto's Cortex and Prisma platforms. The program is taught entirely in live classes. The recommended plan is about 6 classes, but the pace follows your background and schedule, so the class count is a guide, not a limit. Built for network engineers, junior SOC analysts and CCNA holders who want the Palo Alto name on their resume, and a good first step before the Network Security Analyst program.
