Introduction
Course overview
SIEM platforms collect and correlate security events across the organisation, enabling detection of threats and supporting investigations and compliance. However, many SIEM deployments generate noise rather than value.
This Aractech course covers SIEM architecture, log source onboarding, parsing and normalisation, correlation rules and detection use cases, alert tuning, dashboards, investigations, compliance reporting and SIEM programme management. Participants design detection use cases and tuning approaches.
The course suits security analysts, engineers and managers.
