What

On this 4-day GIAC Intrusion Analyst Certification course, you'll develop the competence to configure and monitor detection systems as well as understand, interpret and analyse network traffic and log files.

This course is aimed at professionals responsible for network and host monitoring, traffic analysis and intrusion detection. Some of the skills you'll learn include:

  • Understanding the importance behind the optimal placement of IDS sensors and how network forensics can help identify intrusions
  • Understanding the intricacies behind detecting intrusions and assisting analysts with the necessary resources

Our unique Lecture | Lab | Review technique will immerse you in course content. Combining both theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience means you'll learn faster and you'll develop the skills necessary to put your new found knowledge to practice as soon as you return to work.

On this course, you'll be prepared for the GIAC Certified Intrusion Analyst (GCIA) exam. This is covered by your Certification Guarantee.

This course is aimed at those responsible for networking and host monitoring, traffic analysis and intrusion detection.
