Upskill Employees to Detect Threats with ArcSight SIEM

ArcSight is a security information and event management (SIEM) platform, now part of OpenText, that collects, normalizes, and correlates log and event data from across an organization's IT environment to detect, investigate, and respond to security threats in real time. Built around the Enterprise Security Manager (ESM), SmartConnectors, and Logger, it ingests events from networks, endpoints, applications, and cloud services, applies correlation rules to surface multi-stage attacks, and gives analysts the dashboards and investigation tools a modern security operations center depends on. As threats grow more sophisticated and compliance demands tighten, teams that can operate ArcSight turn a flood of raw log data into clear, prioritized, and actionable detections.

As organizations face rising cyber threats and stricter compliance obligations, this program helps your security teams collect, correlate, and investigate events in ArcSight across real enterprise log sources. Empower your people with expert-led on-site, off-site, and virtual sessions delivered by Edstellar, a premier corporate training provider serving organizations worldwide in-person and virtually across popular languages. Fully customized to your goals, the program turns ArcSight skills into lasting capabilities that strengthen detection and response across your SOC, security engineering, and incident response teams.

By the end of the program, your team can deploy and tune SmartConnectors, write correlation rules, investigate incidents, and produce compliance reports in ArcSight with confidence. The result is faster threat detection, shorter investigation times, fewer false positives, and a measurable improvement in the security posture and audit readiness your organization depends on.
