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

- Package formulated ESM contents for the Use Case into ArcSight Resource Bundle
Course Content
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
