IBM Security QRadar enables deep visibility into network, endpoint, user, and application activity. It provides collection, normalization, correlation, and secure storage of events, flows, assets, and vulnerabilities. Suspected attacks and policy breaches are highlighted as offenses. In this course, you learn about the solution architecture, how to navigate the user interface, and how to investigate offenses. You search and analyze the information from which QRadar concluded a suspicious activity. Hands-on exercises reinforce the skills learned.
In this 3-day instructor-led course, you learn how to perform the following tasks:
- Describe how QRadar SIEM collects data to detect suspicious activities
- Describe the QRadar SIEM component architecture and data flows
- Navigate the user interface
- Investigate suspected attacks and policy breaches
- Search, filter, group, and analyze security data
- Investigate the vulnerabilities and services of assets
- Use network hierarchies
- Locate custom rules and inspect actions and responses of rules
- Analyze offenses created by QRadar SIEM
- Use index management
- Navigate and customize the QRadar SIEM dashboard
- Use QRadar SIEM to create customized reports
- Use charts and filters
- Use AQL for advanced searches
- Analyze a real world scenario
Extensive lab exercises are provided to allow students an insight into the routine work of an IT Security Analyst operating the IBM QRadar SIEM platform. The exercises cover the following topics:
- Using the QRadar SIEM user interface
- Investigating an Offense triggered by events
- Investigating the events of an offense
- Investigating an offense that is triggered by flows
- Using rules
- Using the Network Hierarchy
- Index and Aggregated Data Management
- Using the QRadar SIEM dashboard
- Creating QRadar SIEM reports
- Using AQL for advanced searches
- Analyze a real-world large-scale attack
The lab environment for this course uses the IBM QRadar SIEM 7.3 platform.

This course teaches you the developer skills that are required to configure and implement authentication and authorization support within your IBM DataPower Gateway V7.5 services.
A common requirement for DataPower services is to authenticate the sender of a message, and authorize that sender to request the messages behavior. The AAA action within DataPower provides the basics of the authenticate, authorize, and audit support.
OAuth is an authorization framework that defines a way for a client application to access server resources on behalf of another party. It provides a way for the user to authorize a third party to their server resources without sharing their credentials. DataPower supports OAuth specifications and protocols and can provide an OAuth web token service.
OpenID Connect (OIDC) is an authentication layer that runs on top of an OAuth 2.0 authorization framework. DataPower can operate as an OIDC client.

This ZL00G: zVM and zLinux Bootcamp course introduces the system programmer to the tasks required to support a z/VM operating system. It provides an overview of the processes required to install z/VM and perform the required tailoring steps to support guest operating system virtual machines and CMS users. The students will leave the course with the knowledge to perform the steps to add guest systems and other virtual machines to the z/VM system, to apply service to the z/VM system, and to define a minimal TCP/IP configuration. Additionally this course is designed to teach the implementation of SUSE Linux on System z.

This WM816G: CICS v5.3 Systems Tailoring and Administration course teaches CICS system programmers how to install, tailor, and administer CICS Transaction Server (TS) for z/OS. You learn to construct, run, and administer a CICS system. You tailor the system by configuring CICS to run applications, defining transactions, programs, files, web services, and other resources that CICS applications need. You administer CICS by using CICS transactions and the CICS Explorer.
The course also provides a thorough introduction to security and recovery concepts that are needed to administer new or existing installations of CICS TS. Topics include resource management, storage management, system control, task management, measurement and problem determination tools, intercommunication services, CICSPlex SM, Cloud, Liberty, DevOps, IBM UrbanCode Deploy, DB2, IBM MQ, DBCTL, and more. You practice your new skills on a z/OS system that is configured specifically for this lab-intensive course.

This CL487G: Db2 11.1 Quickstart for Experienced Relational DBAs course teaches you to perform, basic and advanced, database administrative tasks using Db2 11.1. These tasks include creating and populating databases and implementing a logical design to support recovery requirements.
The access strategies selected by the Db2 Optimizer will be examined using the Db2 Explain tools. Various diagnostic methods will be presented, including using various db2pd command options. Students will learn how to implement automatic archival for database logs and how to plan a redirected database restore to relocate either selected table spaces or an entire database. The REBUILD option of RESTORE, which can build a database copy with a subset of the tablespaces, will be discussed.
We will also cover using the TRANSPORT option of RESTORE to copy schemas of objects between two Db2 databases. The selection of indexes to improve application performance and the use of SQL statements to track database performance and health will be covered. This course provides a quick start to Db2 database administration skills for experienced relational Database Administrators (DBA).
The lab demonstrations are performed using DB2 LUW 11.1 for Linux. For some lab tasks, students will have the option to complete the task using a DB2 command line processor, or using the graphical interface provided by IBM Data Server Manager.
