Apache Metron: Open source cybersecurity at scale

Carolyn Duby (Cloudera)
1:30pm–5:00pm Tuesday, 09/11/2018

Who is this presentation for?

  • Data engineers, platform engineers, security analysts, and data scientists

Materials or downloads needed in advance

  • A laptop
  • Download materials from the course GitHub repository (link TBD)

What you'll learn

  • Learn to use the most important features of the Apache Metron platform to triage cybersecurity data

Description

Cybersecurity is a big data challenge. Applications and security devices create terabytes of logs per day in hundreds of different formats, but security analysts can only investigate a portion of the events. Which ones should they investigate? Which events are related? Enter Apache Metron, a real-time security analytics platform that ingests, normalizes, enriches, triages, and stores application and security events in a data lake.

Carolyn Duby walks you through the main features of Metron using a standard cybersecurity data feed. You’ll leave ready to explore Apache Metron on your own cybersecurity event data.

Topics include:

  • Apache Metron overview
  • Getting started
  • Ingesting, normalizing, and enriching events
  • Triaging events to find the “needle in the haystack”
  • Machine learning: Building and applying models
  • User and entity behavior analytics: Profiling and anomaly detection
  • Exploring event history: Dashboards, threat hunting, and investigation
