This 13.5 hour course is intended for experienced SOAR consultants who will be responsible for complex SOAR solution development, and will prepare the attendee to integrate SOAR with Splunk as well as develop playbooks requiring custom coding and REST API usage. This course does not cover topics related to paired Enterprise Security and SOAR systems; see the course Developing Playbooks for Enterprise Security for more information

Potential attendees have received a passing grade in all prerequisite courses and must ensure they can devote all of their attention to the class, as the course work is very challenging. Students will develop a custom solution with SOAR, Splunk and custom Python code. The labs provide requirements for the solution; the student must plan and execute the development. This will require thoughtful focus, experimentation, and problem-solving skills.

• Using external search in SOAR
• Sending events from Splunk to SOAR
• Updating Splunk events from SOAR
• Running SOAR reports on Splunk
• Executing SOAR playbooks from Splunk
• Searching Splunk from SOAR playbooks
• Writing custom code in SOAR playbooks
• Using the SOAR REST API in Phantom playbooks
