Hello everyone,
many of you are probably already running the latest QRadar CE 7.5 with UP8. If not, maybe here a preview to do so :)
Home-Lab or Mobile-Lab
In my case I use a Macbook Pro and Vmware Fusion. For years a reliable combination to have QRadar SIEM Security mobile with me, for testing, practicing or creating use cases :)
Prepared & Independend
For me it is also important to be able to demonstrate functions and features that make up QRadar SIEM at any time. And i have always the opportunity to educate myself anytime or anywhere! If this is a good impulse “for you” at this point, here is a link with all the details and preparation for an easy installation and entry into QRadar SIEM Security:

Good to know
The great thing about this QRadar 7.5 CE Release is that Update Packages can also be applied. Like for example the current UP9, which activates the “dark mode” by default. In addition, current apps can now also be installed and tested, such as the “New UI”, the IBM Security Analyst Workflow.

Modern UI - check it out!
A good opportunity to take a look at a modern and innovative user interface for SOC analysts; and how quickly a “simple” selection can display the view of the main movement tracks in focus at a central point!
Dark Mode - the force will be with you!
So yesterday my goal for the day was to set up the UP9 in my QRadar CE instance! Here is the result :)
The login Page in a new fresh look :)
Classic Dashboard refreshed | has been given a new coat of paint!
Conclusion
With this option and the fact that there is a license renewal for the QRadar CE installation every 3 months, I have a great and cost-neutral way for me and my team to test, level up hands-on, learn or try new things and learn more about the architecture of QRadar!
Many thanks to @Shivam Sharma, @Chaitanya Challa and all of the team! #IBMChampion#IBMQRadar#IBMSecurity
