SIEM Deployment and Log Management for Security Teams

Security information and event management platforms are only as good as the logs feeding them and the rules watching for trouble. This course teaches security teams how to plan log collection, deploy a SIEM and build detection rules that surface real threats without drowning in noise. Delegates practise with scenarios reflecting the constrained budgets and skills common in African security operations.

What you will be able to do

  • Plan which log sources matter most for detecting threats.
  • Design a practical log collection and retention approach.
  • Deploy and tune a SIEM to reduce noise and false alerts.
  • Build detection rules and use cases aligned to real threats.
  • Integrate SIEM output into investigation and response workflows.
  • Maintain and improve detection coverage over time.
