Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

AlienVault OSSIM setup can be challenging, and the guides on AT&T’s website are mainly for the paid product with less attention to the community edition. Cybersecurity is increasingly becoming something that must be addressed sooner rather than later and having a functional SIEM is one great step towards doing so. 

This course will go over an All-In-One configuration for OSSIM and attempt to make it as set-it-and-forget-it as possible. IT usually has plenty of other fires going on and automating alerts for security events and incidents will make OSSIM far more useful than if you are required to check it constantly on your own. This course will also show you how to address vulnerabilities proactively and detect threats in near real-time. Whether you decide to move to AT&T’s paid product USM or not, you will have far more insight into the security of your network.

By the end of this course, you will have mastered AlienVault OSSIM. You will also have mastered commercial off-the-shelf products such as Netgear, or freely available solutions such as pfSense.
Let’s begin the journey!
