Cortex XSOAR Tips & Tricks – Creating indicator relationships in automations

Introduction In Cortex XSOAR, indicators are a key part of the platform as they visualize the Indicators Of Compromise (IOC) of a security alert in the incident to the SOC analyst and can be used in automated analysis workflows to determine the incident outcome. If you have a Cortex XSOAR Threat Intelligence Management (TIM) license, … Continue reading Cortex XSOAR Tips & Tricks – Creating indicator relationships in automations →

Cortex XSOAR Tips & Tricks – Execute Commands Using The API

Introduction Every automated task in Cortex XSOAR relies on executing commands from integrations or automations either in a playbook or directly in the incident war room or playground. But what if you wanted to incorporate a command or automation from Cortex XSOAR into your own custom scripts? For that you can use the API. In … Continue reading Cortex XSOAR Tips & Tricks – Execute Commands Using The API →

Cortex XSOAR Tips & Tricks – Using The API In Automations

Introduction When developing automations in Cortex XSOAR, you can use the Script Helper in the built-in Cortex XSOAR IDE to view all the scripts and commands available for automating tasks. When there is no script or command available for the specific task you want to automate, you can use the Cortex XSOAR API to automate … Continue reading Cortex XSOAR Tips & Tricks – Using The API In Automations →

Cortex XSOAR Tips & Tricks – Tagging War Room Entries

Introduction The war room in Cortex XSOAR incidents allows a SOC analyst to do additional investigations by using any command available as an automation or integration command. It also contains the output of all tasks used in playbooks (if not in Quiet mode). In this blogpost we will show you how to format output of … Continue reading Cortex XSOAR Tips & Tricks – Tagging War Room Entries →

Cortex XSOAR Tips & Tricks – Execute Command Function

Introduction When developing the automated SOC workflows for the NVISO Managed SOC and the additional NITRO services on Cortex XSOAR, we have started to make use of automations to do complex tasks instead of playbooks. Automations have much better performances and, if your team has a decent level of Python skills, developing complex tasks in … Continue reading Cortex XSOAR Tips & Tricks – Execute Command Function →

In our SOC, we rely heavily on automations performed by our SOAR platform Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR to minimize the manual tasks that need to be done … Continue reading Automated spam detection in Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR →

Going beyond traditional metrics: 3 key strategies to measuring your SOC performance

Establishing a Security Operation Center is a great way to reduce the risk of cyber attacks damaging your organization by detecting and investigating suspicious events derived from infrastructure and network data.  In traditionally heavily regulated industries such as banking, the motivation to establish a SOC is often further complimented by a regulatory requirement. It is … Continue reading Going beyond traditional metrics: 3 key strategies to measuring your SOC performance →

Sigma engine adds support for ee-outliers backend: start tagging your Sigma hits in Elasticsearch!

Introduction We are happy to announce that the awesome people maintaining the Sigma project on GitHub have merged our work to support the ee-outliers backend! So what you can you do with this? Sigma already contained support for Elasticsearch through the es-dsl and es-qs backends. However, these generate queries then need to be integrated by … Continue reading Sigma engine adds support for ee-outliers backend: start tagging your Sigma hits in Elasticsearch! →
