What you'll learn

Enterprises often face challenges in effectively detecting anomalies and events across their systems, exposing them to security vulnerabilities. In this course, Detecting Anomalies and Events with Elastic Agent, you'll explore how to use Elastic Agent to enhance anomaly detection in a live enterprise environment. First, you'll discover the setup and configuration of Elastic Agent to collect data from multiple sources. Next, you'll create and apply data collection policies to monitor critical logs, metrics, and security events. Finally, you'll simulate potential anomalies to validate Elastic Agent's effectiveness in detecting and responding to suspicious activity. By the end of this course, you'll have the skills needed to implement effective anomaly detection to protect and monitor enterprise systems.
