Summary

This instructor led course provides experience using the features and functions of RSA NetWitness Logs & Network to perform forensic analysis on network-based security breaches.

Overview

This instructor-led classroom-based course provides hands-on experience using the RSA NetWitness Logs & Network tool to identify, investigate and remediate network-based security breaches on your enterprise network. The course consists of about 75% hands-on lab work, following practical use cases from the identification and investigation stages through event reconstruction, damage assessment, and remediation.

Audience

SOC analysts relatively new to RSA NetWitness Logs & Network, who wish to increase their familiarity with the tool’s features and functions within the context of SOC breach investigation and analysis.

Duration

2 days, including approximately 1 ½ days of hands-on lab exercises.

Prerequisite Knowledge/Skills

Students should have familiarity with the basic processes of cybersecurity forensic analysis, including some knowledge of network architecture, the TCP/IP stack, networking protocols, and integrating log & network traffic to perform analysis on network-based security events.

Students should have completed the following courses (or have equivalent knowledge) prior to taking this training: RSA NetWitness Logs & Network Foundations

Course Objectives

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

• Build dynamic dashboards to monitor network alerts
• Create alerts to populate dashboards
• Create alerts to populate meta keys
• Use investigation and event reconstruction techniques to reconstruct breach events
• Create reports to consolidate alerts across a configurable time period
• Create alerts to generate incidents in the Incident Queue
• Assign, document, and remediate incidents from within the Incident Queue
• Identify, reconstruct, and remediate four sample use cases within the student laboratory SOC environment
