In this course, you will learn how to use the Cortex XDR management console messages to investigate attacks. It explains causality chains, detectors in the Analytics Engine, alerts versus logs, log stitching, and the concepts of causality and analytics.
You will learn how to analyze alerts using the causality and timeline views and how to use advanced response actions such as remediation suggestions, the EDL service and remote script execution. Several modules focus on how to use the collected data. You will create simple search queries in one module and XDR rules in another. The course demonstrates the use of special investigation views to visualize artifact-related data, such as IP and hash views. It also provides an introduction to the XDR Query Language (XQL). The course concludes with Cortex XDR's capabilities for collecting external data, including using the Cortex XDR API to receive external alerts.
