Advanced Analytics

In this three days course, you will learn how to use FortiSIEM in a multi-tenant environment. You will learn to add various organizations to FortiSIEM and discover devices from each organization. You will learn to differentiate logs and events from each organization and apply appropriate rules. You will dive deep into rules and their architecture. You will also learn about incidents and how they are generated when a rule is triggered. You will learn about different clear conditions. You will also dive deep into baseline calculations performed on FortiSIEM. You will learn to create your own baseline profile and run queries based on the profile. Finally, you will learn the methods of remediation available on FortiSIEM.

In interactive labs, you will explore the role of FortiSIEM in a service provider environment. You will configure FortiSIEM in a cluster with a worker and NFS server for data storage. You will add organizations to FortiSIEM and manage the scope of each organization. You will register collectors from those organizations on FortiSIEM. You will also register Linux and Windows agents. You will analyze events from different organizations and understand how those events trigger some of the built-in rules. You will create your own rules and generate security events to trigger incidents for those rules.

After completing this course, candidates will be able to:

• Identify various implementation requirements for a multi-tenant FortiSIEM deployment
• Understand how FortiSIEM can be deployed in a hybrid environment with and without collectors
• Understand EPS restrictions on FortiSIEM

• Manage EPS assignment on collectors
• Manage collector high availability
• Maintain and troubleshoot a collector installation
• Install Windows and Linux agents and identify the benefits of log collection through agents
• Understand agent architecture and associate templates with Windows and Linux agents
• Understand rule processes architecture and differentiate between a rule worker and a rule master
• Understand how the rule engine sliding time window works when it is evaluating rules
• Understand the out-of-the-box single pattern security rules and how to create rules by evaluating security events
• Define actions for a single pattern security rule
• Understand incident generation and identify the attributes that trigger an incident
• Identify multiple pattern security rules and define conditions and actions for them
• Understand how baseline data is useful in creating conditions in rules
• Differentiate between a standard report and a baseline report
