Securing Cisco Networks with Threat Detection and

Analysis (SCYBER)

The Securing Cisco® Networks with Threat Detection Analysis (SCYBER) course,
version 1.0 is an instructor-led course offered by Learning Services High-Touch Delivery.
This lab-intensive training course prepares you to take the Cyber Security Specialist
Certification exam (exam ID = 600-199) and to hit the ground running as a security
analyst team member.

The course combines lecture materials and hands-on labs throughout to make sure that
you are able to successfully understand cyber security concepts and to recognize specific
threats and attacks on your network. This course is designed to teach you how a network
security operations center (SOC) works and how to begin to monitor, analyze, and
respond to security threats within the network. The job role for a security analyst will vary
from industry to industry and differ in the private sector versus the public sector.

Duration
Five days.

Target Audience
This course is designed for technical professionals who need to know how to monitor, analyze, and
respond to network security threats and attacks.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, you should have obtained four major areas of competency:

● Monitor security events

● Configure and tune security event detection and alarming
● Analyze traffic for security threats
● Respond appropriately to security incidents

Lab Infrastructure and Topology

This lab infrastructure is designed to walk you through the process of understanding how
a network SOC works and then proceeds into the data security threat analysis and
response process.

The course uses software such as Lancope, Splunk, OSSIM, and Observium to simulate
some of the most current cyber security threats on the lab equipment. For example, in the
module “Investigating Security Threats,” you will perform the initial configuration of
NetFlow, followed by interpreting the traffic in the NetFlow environment. Similarly, you will
configure SNMP monitoring to work with the Observium software.
