What you'll learn:
- Concept of SOAR and Use Cases
- Components of XSOAR
- Developing Playbooks, Automations and Integrations
- XSOAR Workflow Automation
In this course, we will thoroughly explore several essential topics, starting with a comprehensive introduction to SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) and XSOAR 6, a leading platform in this field by Palo Alto Networks. It is important to note that XSOAR 6 is the older version of the platform, which has since evolved in more recent updates. We will delve into the various use cases of XSOAR 6, demonstrating its pivotal role in enhancing and streamlining security operations within organizations.
As we advance, you will gain in-depth knowledge of XSOAR’s components, such as incident types, integrations, and instances, and how they interconnect to create a cohesive security framework. You will learn to leverage these components to optimize and refine your security operations.
A significant portion of the course will focus on developing automations and playbooks, essential tools for automating incident response tasks. In addition to this, you will explore how to design and implement automated workflows that streamline repetitive processes, enhance productivity, and reduce human error.
In this course, instructions on how to install the XSOAR server instance and its administrator are not provided; it is more focused on development.
By the end of this course, you will be equipped to create sophisticated automated workflows and integrations within XSOAR 6, dramatically improving your organization's response to security incidents and ensuring stronger overall security management.
