Course Overview

The A10 Networks SSL Inspection 4 course is designed for IT and security professionals seeking to master the implementation and management of SSL traffic inspection using A10’s Advanced Core Operating System (ACOS). This course prepares candidates for the A10 Certified Professional (ACP) certification in Secure Web Access, a credential recognized across enterprise and service provider environments for validating expertise in encrypted traffic visibility. Targeted at Network Operations (NetOps), Development Operations (DevOps), and Network Security (NetSec) engineers, the training addresses the growing industry demand for SSL decryption skills—over 85% of enterprise web traffic is now encrypted, making SSL inspection a critical component of modern threat detection. As cyberattacks increasingly leverage encryption to evade detection, organizations worldwide are adopting A10’s SSLi solutions, with more than 5,000 enterprises and service providers deploying A10 technologies to secure their application infrastructure.

Participants engage with core A10 technologies including ACOS v4.1.4-P2, vThunder virtual appliances, client-ssl and server-ssl templates, Wildcard VIPs, and ICAP integration within a hands-on lab environment delivered via the Azure Marketplace. The lab setup includes pre-configured CentOS 7.9 desktops with NoVNC access, RADIUS/TACACS+ authentication servers, Wireshark, and Zenmap for traffic analysis. Students build a complete SSL inspection architecture across two ACOS devices, configuring VLANs, service groups, access lists, and SSL templates to enable transparent and explicit proxy decryption. A key real-world scenario involves implementing dynamic port intercept and static bypass rules based on SNI and web categories, allowing secure applications to pass while inspecting high-risk traffic. With 50% of the class dedicated to lab exercises, learners gain practical experience in troubleshooting SSLi deployments using AXDebug, show techsupport, and traffic flow analysis.

By completing the SSL Inspection 4 training, professionals are fully prepared to take the A10 Certified Professional Secure Web Access exam, which requires a 70% passing score and is proctored through Kryterion’s global testing network. Certified individuals report an average salary increase of 15–20%, with ACP holders often advancing into senior security engineering or architecture roles. Koenig Solutions enhances this preparation with Guaranteed-to-Run classes, official A10 courseware, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring to ensure mastery of complex SSLi configurations. As encrypted threats evolve, professionals skilled in A10’s SSL Inspection framework will remain in high demand, enabling organizations to maintain security without compromising performance or compliance.
