Elasticsearch Best Practices Security Monitoring and Incident Response
In this lab, we will install and configure a variety of security and monitoring tools to enhance network and system visibility, detect and prevent advanced attacks, identify and respond to network anomalies, and monitor user actions and file changes. The main components we will be using include Wazuh, Snort, Zeek, kibana and Elasticsearch Best Practices
This article covers the flowing steps:
Network Security Architecture
Security Monitoring with Wazuh, Snort, Zeek, Elasticsearch, and Kibana
Incident Response Lab: Enhance Network and System Visibility
Elasticsearch will be used to store all logs and alerts collected by Wazuh, Snort, and Zeek. It is a fast database solution that can handle large volumes of data. We will use Filebeat to send logs and alerts from these tools to Elasticsearch for storage and analysis. In the lab, we will also define machine learning rules and detect abnormal traffic.
Kibana will be used to run queries and visualize the results of Elasticsearch data. We will create advanced filters and use Elasticsearch’s minimal security to explore the API and machine learning capabilities.
Overall, this lab aims to provide a comprehensive security monitoring and incident response infrastructure that can detect and respond to a wide range of security events and attacks
Enhance Your Network Security with this Hands-on Lab
In this lab, you will learn how to install Elasticsearch on your machine. Elasticsearch is a powerful, open-source, full-text search and analytics engine that can be used to index, search, and analyze large volumes of data quickly and in near real-time.
The lab will guide you through the process of installing Elasticsearch on your machine, including downloading and installing the necessary software, configuring Elasticsearch to suit your needs, and starting and stopping the Elasticsearch service. By the end of the lab, you will have a fully functioning Elasticsearch instance up and running on your machine.
This lab is intended for users who are new to Elasticsearch and are looking to get it up and running on their machine. No prior experience with Elasticsearch or other search engines is necessary.
ata visualization and exploration platform that is part of the Elastic Stack. It allows you to search, view, and interact with data stored in Elasticsearch indices through a web interface.
The lab will guide you through the process of installing Kibana on your machine, including downloading and installing the necessary software, configuring Kibana to suit your needs, and starting and stopping the Kibana service. By the end of the lab, you will have a fully functioning Kibana instance up and running on your machine.
This lab is intended for users who are new to Kibana and are looking to get it up and running on their machine. No prior experience with Kibana or other data visualization platforms is necessary.
n this lab, you will learn how to install Wazuh on your machine. Wazuh is an open-source security monitoring platform that provides security visibility for your cloud and on-premises environments. It includes Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (ELK stack) and a set of security rules to detect threats, vulnerabilities, and anomalies.
The lab will guide you through the process of installing Wazuh on your machine, including downloading and installing the necessary software, configuring Wazuh to suit your needs, and starting and stopping the Wazuh service. By the end of the lab, you will have a fully functioning Wazuh instance up and running on your machine.
This lab is intended for users who are new to Wazuh and are looking to get it up and running on their machine. No prior experience with Wazuh or other security monitoring platforms is necessary
In this lab, you will learn how to install Zeek (formerly known as Bro) on your machine. Zeek is a free, open-source network security monitor that provides a comprehensive set of tools for analyzing network traffic. It is designed to be used by network administrators and security professionals to monitor, detect, and respond to security threats on networks.
The lab will guide you through the process of installing Zeek on your machine, including downloading and installing the necessary software, configuring Zeek to suit your needs, and starting and stopping the Zeek service. By the end of the lab, you will have a fully functioning Zeek instance up and running on your machine.
This lab is intended for users who are new to Zeek and are looking to get it up and running on their machine. No prior experience with Zeek or other network security monitoring tools is necessary.
In this lab, you will learn how to use Snort3 rules to analyze Command and Control (C2) traffic on your network. C2 traffic is used by malicious actors to remotely control compromised systems, and it is important to detect and block this traffic to prevent attacks on your network.
The lab will guide you through the process of configuring Snort3 to detect and analyze C2 traffic, including downloading and installing the necessary software, setting up rules, and configuring alerts. By the end of the lab, you will be able to use Snort3 to identify and analyze C2 traffic on your network and take appropriate action to mitigate potential threats.
This lab is intended for users who are familiar with Snort3 and network security concepts, and are looking to learn how to use Snort3 to detect and respond to C2 traffic on their network.
