Introduction The goal of this series is to put readers in the right mindset when thinking about SIEM and describe how to set themselves up for success. While I’m not a Data Scientist and don’t claim to be, I can confidently say that expecting results in security analytics without first having “good data” to work with is folly. This is why […]
Why Short-Cut The Threat Hunting Process? As with any security operations endeavor, we want to balance efficacy and efficiency to produce the best results with the smallest amount of resources. Unfortunately, Threat Hunting is often seen as a ‘luxury’, reserved only for the most advanced sec-ops teams with ample budgets to fund expert resources and […]
The purpose of this blog is to explain the necessity for manual (non-alert based) analysis methods in threat hunting. An example of effective manual analysis via aggregations/stack counting is provided. Automation Is Necessary Automation is absolutely critical and as threat hunters we must automate where possible as much as possible. However, automation is built on […]
Introduction to Sigma Sigma, created by Florian Roth and Thomas Patzke, is an open source project and initiative for creating a structured language for SIEM detection content. The concept is analogous to YARA for file-based detections, SNORT for IDS, and STIX for threat intelligence. However, Sigma takes this one step further by abstracting detection concepts […]
Many things are written about SIEM, yet my personal experience with these wonderful tools began back in 2007. Today the technology itself is more than 18 years old and SIEM is by all means a mature market. Together with clients, team and partners I was privileged to actively participate in more than a hundred of […]
A very common task for all ArcSight content developers is cleaning active lists on a scheduled basis or on-demand automatically. In the previous post I have described how to clear Active Lists on scheduled basis using trends: https://socprime.com/en/blog/active-lists-in-arcsight-automatic-clearing-part-1/ Today I will show you another two ways how this can be achieved. Automatic clearing of Active Lists […]
In the previous article, we have examined using depends panel for creating convenient visualizations in dashboards. If you missed it, follow the link: https://socprime.com/blog/using-depends-panels-in-splunk-for-creating-convenient-drilldowns/ Many people who begin to study Splunk have questions about monitoring the availability of incoming data: when the last time the data came from a particular source, when the data ceased […]
