QRadar SIEM Training
This IBM QRadar SIEM Training course initially starts with an introduction to this technology application. In general, IBM Qradar is one of the top 5 SIEM applications in today’s market. Speaking about SIEM, Software products and services come together to form security information management (SIM). On the other side, we have Security Event Management Services (SEMs). Here the SIM & SEM club together form SIEM (Security Information and Event Management). SIEM conducts a real-time review of the hazard identified by application and network hardware.
This IBM QRadar training is built for security analysts, technical security developers, offence managers, network administrators and system administrators using QRadar SIEM.
Notably, IBM Security QRadar SIEM is a technology application developed by IBM to provide a 360-degree overview of the company’s security framework. QRadar normalizes and correlates events that arise from the log sources of the security system according to some rules configured in QRadar.
Additionally, IBM QRadar gathers log data from an organization, network equipment, host properties, operating systems, applications, vulnerabilities, user activities and behaviours.
However, IBM QRadar conducts a real-time analysis of log data and network flows to detect malicious activity to be easily stopped, avoided or reduced harm to the enterprise.
Therefore our IBM Qradar SIEM Training course covers Qradar Architecture, Log Activity, Network Operation, Index and Aggregated Data Management, Licenses Management, Event and Flow Management, Covering Troubleshooting, Qradar hosting services etc.
As a final point, a comprehensive Customization of IBM Qradar SIEM training course is possible for individual and corporate professionals accordingly. For more information on IBM Qradar SIEM training courses, please contact us.
