Prerequisites
Attendees for this class must ensure that they meet all course prerequisites. This is a challenging, advanced class that draws on technical knowledge from many areas in Splunk and SOAR, and the demanding labs and course schedule leave little time to learn the basics.
To be successful, students should have a solid understanding of the following:
• Experience with Python programming
• Administering Splunk SOAR
• Developing Splunk SOAR Playbooks
• Enterprise Splunk Data Administration
• Enterprise Splunk System Administration
• Either Using or Administering Splunk Enterprise Security
What you’ll learn in this course
This course is intended for experienced SOAR consultants who will be responsible for complex
SOAR solution development and will prepare the attendee to integrate SOAR with Splunk as well as develop playbooks requiring custom coding and REST API usage.
Potential attendees have received a passing grade in all prerequisite courses and must ensure they can devote all of their attention to the class,
as the course work is very challenging. Students will develop a custom solution with SOAR, Splunk and custom Python code. The labs provide requirements for the solution; the student must plan and execute the development. This will require thoughtful focus, experimentation, and problem-solving skills.
