This one-day hands-on course focuses on configuring and administering NDR systems, specifically Network Investigator and Packet Capture. Participants will engage in practical labs to integrate existing Trellix sensors, such as Network Security and Intrusion Prevention System, into the NDR environment. The course provides an overview of each appliance, their standard network deployments, and how they function within the NDR system alongside the sensors.

Lab exercises are included in this course.

• Provide an overview of the NDR sensors that integrate with the Trellix NDR-enabled Network Investigator system.
• Integrate NDR sensors including Network Security and Intrusion Prevention System with Network Investigator for export of metadata, flow, and alerts.
• Configure and integrate Trellix Packet Capture with Network Investigator for packet capture retrieval.
• Enable NDR machine learning (ML) detection modules.
• Describe other NDR features and integrations including Asset Discovery and Trellix Logon Collector.
• Illustrate the typical deployment of Packet Capture and Network Investigator in the context of other Trellix systems.
• Access the various administration interfaces for Packet Capture and Network Investigator.
• Perform primary management and administration tasks for Packet Capture and Network Investigator.
