In our last chapter, we got a foundational understanding of what Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls are and why they&rsquo;re so powerful. Now, it&rsquo;s time to dive into one of the most critical concepts for building a secure and well-organized network: <strong>Security Zones</strong> and the <strong>Interface Types</strong> that connect your firewall to the world.</p> <p>This chapter will teach you how to logically segment your network using security zones, which are the backbone of policy enforcement on a Palo Alto Networks firewall. You&rsquo;ll also learn about the different ways your firewall can connect to your network infrastructure, from acting like a traditional router to being an invisible &ldquo;bump in the wire.&rdquo; Understanding these concepts is absolutely essential before we can even think about writing our first security policy. So, let&rsquo;s get ready to build a strong foundation for our secure network!</p>
