Tivoli Risk Manager
Course Description

IBM Tivoli Risk Manager correlates and prioritizes the vast number of security events generated across applications, operating systems, and network devices to provide an overall view of the security architecture. Tivoli Risk Manager helps eliminate clutter, such as false-positives, while quickly identifying and managing security incidents and vulnerabilities to help administrators respond with adaptive security measures. With Tivoli Risk Managers reporting capabilities, administrators can pinpoint business security risks and take corrective action.
In this course, you will learn about the solution that IBM Tivoli Risk Manager provides, how to operate Risk Manager, how to customize the reports that the application produces, how to perform administration and troubleshooting tasks for the application, and how to install the application.

Class Length 2 days
Objectives

After completing the Risk Manager Workshop, students should be able to accomplish the following:

Install Risk Manager
Configure the Tivoli Enterprise Console to view Risk Manager events
Configure the Risk Manager Agent
View and close events generated by Risk Manager through the Tivoli Enterprise Console
View reports analyzing events detected by Risk Manager

It is beyond the scope of the Risk Manager course, to cover objectives in the enabling technology. Specifically :

Students wll NOT learn to define new TEC events
Students will NOT learn to write TEC rules.

Students will NOT learn how to develop custom sensors. Integrators will need
pre-requisite knowledge in the use of the enabling technology (Framework and
TEC) which security administrators do not need. This course is focused on
product capabilities. It does not cover security in general nor does it cover the
numerous event sensor sources in detail.

Who will benefit from the course? This teaches basic product function, installation, use, configuration, and troubleshooting. It is useful for customers, internal audiences and Business Partners.
