• Initial access and onboarding: Use a computer on the management network to access the TZ470’s default management interface via a web browser, and complete the initial configuration wizard to set administrative credentials and basic network settings.
• Implement security profiles: Enable key security features such as IPS, anti-malware, content filtering, TLS/SSL inspection, and application control. Apply recommended security policies and tailor rules to your organization’s needs and compliance requirements.
• Configure VPN and SD-Branch policies: Set up VPN tunnels (IPsec/SSL) for remote workers and inter-site connectivity, and enable SD-Branch features to unify policy management and secure connectivity across distributed locations.
• Finalize deployment and monitoring: Create user roles and access controls, assign appropriate VLANs, review alerts and event logs, and connect the TZ470 to Capture Security Center for ongoing monitoring, threat intelligence updates, and policy optimization.
