Summary
Learn about RSA NetWitnessⓇ Platform's implementation of the REST API and how it provides you with access to the proprietary backend, thus enabling you to automate administrative tasks, extract data programmatically, and more. It includes a lab environment in which you will practice your new skills.
.
Overview
This course enables you to access key metrics, controls, and metadata within RSA NetWitness Platform using the command line or scripting. It begins by reviewing how RSA has implemented the REST API and reasons for its use. Demonstration videos walk through REST command syntax and various use cases for the technique. The course also provides sample scripts you can extend for your own use. Lab exercises walk you through "real life" examples of REST API's use and give you the foundation to automate business processes of your own. This OnDemand lab includes modules of lessons, video demonstrations and virtual lab exercises.
