IBM QRada SIEM Training  

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.

Objectives

After completing this course, you should be able 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 violations
• Search, filter, group, and analyze security data
• Investigate events and flows
• Investigate asset profiles
• Describe the purpose of the network hierarchy
• Determine how rules test incoming data and create offenses
• Use index and aggregated data management
• Navigate and customize dashboards and dashboard items
• Create customized reports
• Use filters
• Use AQL for advanced searches
• Analyze a real world scenario

Audience

This course is designed for security analysts, security technical architects, offense managers, network administrators, and system administrators using QRadar SIEM.
