IBM Security Network Protection (XGS) Advanced Threat Protection Integration Framework Summary

1. IBM Security Network Protection (XGS) Advanced Threat Protection Integration Framework Summary Full Details: http://ibm.biz/ISNP_ATP_API

2. Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) Integration Framework • ATP Integration Framework is mechanism for IBM Security Network Protection (ISNP) to receive external alerts and act on these alerts using Quarantine • Two integrations methods • User instigated via QRadar GUI Right-Click tool • Automated via direct XML API on the ISNP Appliance

3. Advanced Threat Protection Policy • An alert will be mapped to one of five types • Compromise • a successful breach of security, currently active within the environment. This could range from subversive human behavior to automated command and control exploits. • Reputation • describes characteristics tied to an address or web URI and related to geography or observed content behavior. • Intrusion • an instance of an in progress network attack attempt • Malware • represents malicious software in flight on the network or at risk on a disk.

4. Advanced Threat Protection Policy (cont.) • Exposure/vulnerability • represents an identified network weaknesses which, if successfully exploited, could result in compromises • The classification of the alert into one of 3 severities • High • Medium • Low

6. Sandbox Malware Detection Integration example • Web Security Appliance • Uses sandboxing to execute and profile files to identify Command & Control (C&C) hosts • Can monitor traffic and identify internal hosts that are compromised (through calls to known C&C sites) • Although Malware Detection systems can raise alerts, they are not enforcement devices • ISNP can provide the enforcement for Malware Detection • i

8. Typical Use Cases • There are three supported Quarantine use cases: • Compromise: A machine infected with malware, transmitting data to a Command & Control Server represents a Compromised Host in an enterprise network. • Reputation: A Command & Control Server contacted by a Compromised Host or a Web Server Hosting A Web Exploit represents a Malicious Server with a poor reputation. • Malware: A Malware Object being transmitted over the network to a Target Host from a Hosting Server represents a Threat-In-Flight.
