IBM QRadar SIEM provides deep visibility into network, user, and application activity. It provides collection, normalization, correlation, and secure storage of events, flows, asset profiles, and vulnerabilities. QRadar SIEM classifies suspected attacks and policy violations as offenses. In this 3-day instructor-led course, you learn how to perform the following tasks: Describe how QRadar SIEM collects data to detect suspicious activities Describe the QRadar SIEM component architecture and data flows Navigate the user interface Investigate suspected attacks and policy breaches Search, filter, group, and analyze security data Investigate the vulnerabilities and services of assets Use network hierarchies Locate custom rules and inspect actions and responses of rules Analyze offenses created by QRadar SIEM Use index management Navigate and customize the QRadar SIEM dashboard Use QRadar SIEM to create customized reports Use charts and filters Use AQL for advanced searches Analyze a real world scenario Extensive lab exercises are provided to allow students an insight into the routine work of an IT Security Analyst operating the IBM QRadar SIEM platform. The exercises cover the following topics: Using the QRadar SIEM user interface Investigating an Offense triggered by events Investigating the events of an offense Investigating an offense that is triggered by flows Using rules Using the Network Hierarchy Index and Aggregated Data Management Using the QRadar SIEM dashboard Creating QRadar SIEM reports Using AQL for advanced searches Analyze a real-world large-scale attack The lab environment for this course uses the IBM QRadar SIEM 7.3 platform.

IBM Security QRadar enables you to minimize the time gap between when a suspicious activity occurs and when you detect it. Attacks and policy violations leave their footprints in log events and network flows of your IT systems. To connect the dots, QRadar SIEM correlates these scattered events and flows into offenses that alert you to suspicious activities. Using the skills taught in this course, you will be able to configure processing of uncommon events, work with reference data, and develop custom rules, custom actions, and custom anomoly detection rules. The lab environment for this course uses the IBM QRadar SIEM 7.3 platform.
