Activities requested from volunteers:

• Writing of learning lab (101, 102) and/or updating older content
• Adding code to Code Exchange (from labs, but maybe also extra use case)
• Presenting or creating webinar/slide-deck
• Writing blogpost on new features/API's on topic. This needs to be done 2 weeks in advance of the Webinar!
• Optionally you can also create a Workflow for SecureX Orchestrator (also add the JSON export to Code Exchange).

Structure PPT:

• Overview slide webinar series with dates
• Agenda slide
• Intro to technology (e.g. Umbrella)
• Overview API’s
• Deep dive on specific API (based on new learning lab content, e.g. Umbrella Reporting API)
• Cool use case with the API (e.g. pulling events from Umbrella into Threat Response via reporting API, or SIEM/SOAR etc.)
• Demo of new script (based on code exchange submission, e.g. retrieve security events past 24 hours)
• Conclusion and closing with links to:
  • Learning labs
  • Blog posts
  • Code exchange submission
  • Dev Center microsite

• Short intro the blog/webinar series (same for every blog post)
• Brief intro to technology and API (e.g. Umbrella)
• Discuss cool use case for a specific API (e.g. Umbrella Reporting API with Splunk)
