Summary

In this chapter, we thoroughly explored the Elastic Security app. We dug into each of the app sections and explored the detection engine. From the detection engine, we created five different types of rules and generated sample data for analysis. We also explored specific host and network sections that display security-related information. We created timelines for events using EQL. We used cases to track events in combination with timelines. Finally, we explored the administration of the Security solution, looking at adding trusted applications.

The skills you gained in this chapter will allow you to identify malicious events, correlate endpoint and network data together, and begin the analysis process.

In the next chapter, we'll spend even more time in the Security solution, specifically leveraging timelines to further investigate the Tesla Agent event we observed in this chapter.
