Course Description

Creating Advanced ESM Content for Security Use Cases covers ArcSight security problem solving methodology

within the ESM context. In this course, you will learn advanced techniques to use ArcSight ESM content to find,

track and remediate security incidents specifically identified in the course use cases. During the training, you will

learn to:

• Use variables and correlation activities

• Customize report templates to use dynamic content

• Customize notification templates to send the appropriate notification based upon specific attributes of an

event

Audience/Job Roles

This course is intended for:

• Defining organization’s security objectives

• Building ArcSight ESM content to adhere to those objectives

Course Objectives

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

• In an ArcSight ESM context, define a Use Case

• Use the Use Case worksheet from an initial problem statement, generate requirement statements and

prioritize objectives

• Identify data sources and ESM resources required to fulfil the objectives of the use case

• To fulfil use case requirements, create identified ESM content

• Construct ArcSight Variables to provide advanced analysis of the event stream

• Develop ArcSight Rules to allow advanced correlation activities

• Build event-based data monitors to provide real-time views of event traffic and anomalies

• Implement custom velocity macros for notification

• Package formulated ESM contents for the Use Case into ArcSight Resource Bundle
