The GIAC Intrusion Analyst (GCIA) certification validates a practitioner's knowledge of network and host monitoring, traffic analysis, and intrusion detection. GCIA certification holders have the skills needed to configure and monitor intrusion detection systems, and to read, interpret, and analyze network traffic and related log files.
I had an incredible 2 weeks, having my eyes opened to many new tools and techniques within the fields of networking and intrusion detection. Thanks to the incredible instructor and TAs who ensured everything ran smoothly and made even the most complex topics seem simple after some explanation. It was an incredible opportunity and I highly recommend anyone takes it should they get the opportunity to. But beware, you may start counting packets instead of sheep when trying to get to sleep...
An IDS monitors network traffic searching for suspicious activity and known threats, sending up alerts when it finds such items. A longtime corporate cyber security staple, intrusion detection as a function remains critical in the modern enterprise, but maybe not as a standalone solution.
Enterprise IT departments deploy intrusion detection systems to gain visibility into potentially malicious activities happening within their technology environments. A longtime corporate cyber security staple, intrusion detection as a function remains critical in the modern enterprise, but maybe not as a standalone solution.
IDS technology can also have trouble detecting malware with encrypted traffic, experts said. Additionally, the speed and distributed nature of incoming traffic can limit the effectiveness of an intrusion detection system in an enterprise.
GIAC Certified Intrusion Analysts (GCIAs) have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to configure and monitor intrusion detection systems, and to read, interpret, and analyze network traffic and related log files.
What sets this course apart from any other training is that we take a bottom-up approach to teaching network intrusion detection and network forensics. Rather than starting with a tool and teaching you how to use that tool in different situations, this course teaches you how and why TCP/IP protocols work the way they do. After spending the first two days examining what we call "Packets as a Second Language," we add in common application protocols and a general approach to researching and understanding new protocols. With this deep understanding of how network protocols work, we turn our attention to the most widely used tools in the industry to apply this deep knowledge. The result is that you will leave this class with a clear understanding of how to instrument your network and the ability to perform detailed incident analysis and reconstruction.
