Guides and Resources

Here we’ve listed a collection of tutorials, recorded demonstrations and other resources we think will be useful to get the most out of the Carbon Black Cloud Python SDK.

Audience for These Guides

In general, and unless otherwise indicated, these guides are directed at those that:

  • Have a working knowledge of Python.
  • Have a basic understanding of what the Carbon Black Cloud does, and its basic terminology such as events, alerts, and watchlists.

Certain guides may be more geared towards audiences with more experience with the Carbon Black Cloud, such as administrators.

Recordings

Demonstrations are found on our YouTube channel.

A recent highlight shows how to schedule Audit and Remediation Tasks.
