1 00:00:00,550 --> 00:00:08,650 In this section we are going to focus on learning more about data and event analysis to effectively 2 00:00:08,650 --> 00:00:09,970 analyze data. 3 00:00:10,090 --> 00:00:18,810 It needs to be normalized normalization is the process of reorganizing data so that it can be viewed 4 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,350 in one form. 5 00:00:20,370 --> 00:00:27,200 This eliminates redundant data and minimizes the chance that an attacker can evade detection. 6 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,210 Data normalization can be categorized into three types. 7 00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:44,480 One and Two and three are enough Cisco's firepower security devices use normalisation preprocessors 8 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:52,000 to normalize traffic after packet decoding from the firepower management center. 9 00:00:52,020 --> 00:01:02,460 If you go to policies access control and intrusion you can add your IP policy which includes preprocessors 10 00:01:02,460 --> 00:01:04,430 for normalization. 11 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:13,550 So here I have my IP policy I click the pencil icon to edit it you can get to the IPX preprocessor rules 12 00:01:13,550 --> 00:01:17,690 by going under policy information and Salatin rules 13 00:01:23,070 --> 00:01:29,260 and preprocessors. 14 00:01:29,580 --> 00:01:36,330 So as you can see in the preprocessors section there is the list of configuration options for popular 15 00:01:36,330 --> 00:01:41,060 protocols such as DNS a.p and HTP.
