Course Description

This course provides you with the knowledge required to use advanced ArcSight ESM content to find and correlate event information, perform actions such as notifying stakeholders, graphically analyze event data, and report on security incidents. You will familiarize and/or reinforce your understanding of the advanced correlation capabilities within ArcSight ESM that provide a significant edge in detecting active attacks.

This course covers ArcSight security problem solving methodology using advanced ESM content to find, track, and re-mediate security incidents. During the training, you will use variables and correlation activities, customize report templates for dynamic content, and customize Dashboards to monitor incidents.

The last day of class offers a hands-on exam. Passing the exam awards you with Certified Expert badge.

Upon successful completion of this course, you should be able to:

• Navigate ArcSight ESM console and command center to correlate, investigate, analyze

• and remediate both exposed and obscure threats

• Construct ArcSight variables to provide advanced analysis of the event stream

• Develop ArcSight lists and rules to allow advanced correlation activities

• Optimize event-based data monitors to provide real-time viewing of event traffic and

• anomalies

• Design new report templates and create functional reports

• Find events through the search tools.
