Cortex XDR 2: Prevention, Analysis and Response (EDU-260)
Overview
The Cortex XDR course teaches students how the Cortex XDR agent protects against exploits and malware-driven attacks. In hands-on lab exercises, students will explore and configure the Cortex XDR management platform and install Cortex XDR agent as well as relevant components; create security policies and profiles to protect endpoints against multi-stage, fileless attacks built using malware and exploits; respond to attacks using response actions; understand behavioral threat analysis, log stitching, agent-provided enhanced endpoint data, and causality analysis; investigate and triage attacks using the incident management page of Cortex XDR and analyze alerts using the Causality and Timeline analysis views; use API to insert alerts; create BIOC rules; and search a lead in raw data sets in Cortex Data Lake using Cortex XDR Query Builder.
