Splunk SOAR Feature Video: Custom Functions
Splunk SOAR’s custom functions allow shareable custom code across playbooks and the introduction of complex data objects into the playbook execution path. These aren’t just out-of the-box playbooks, but out-of-the-box custom blocks that save you time and effort. This allows for centralized code management and version control of custom functions providing the building blocks for scaling your automation, even to those without coding capabilities.
Splunk SOAR Feature Video: Contextual Action Launch
Splunk SOAR apps have a parameter for action inputs and outputs called "contains". These are used to enable contextual actions in the Splunk SOAR user interface. A common example is the contains type "ip". This is a powerful feature that the platform provides, as it allows the user to chain the output of one action as input to another.
Splunk SOAR Feature Video: Investigation Command Line
When you're on the Splunk SOAR investigation page, there are several ways to run actions. One of the easiest ones is to use the command line, down where you would write comments in the event. If you start off with a slash (/) you get prompting for the action you would like to choose.
Splunk SOAR Feature Video: Create a Manual Event
If you haven’t done anything on your Splunk SOAR instance yet you'll see zeros across the top in what we call the ROI summary. So how do you get started creating events in Splunk SOAR?
Splunk SOAR Feature Video: Configure Third Party Tools
To get started in Splunk SOAR, you will need to configure an asset. Assets are the security and infrastructure assets that you integrate with the Splunk SOAR platform, like firewalls and endpoint products. Splunk SOAR connects to these assets through apps. Apps extend the platform by integrating third-party security products and tools.
Splunk SOAR Feature Video: Install/Update Apps
A common task on the Splunk SOAR platform is installing a new app, or updating existing apps. Apps extend the Splunk SOAR platform by integrating third-party security products and tools. We currently offer more than 350 premade apps that are accessible right now.
How Network Segmentation Can Protect Supply Chains from Ransomware Attacks
Organizations can take various steps to protect their operational technology (OT) environments against digital threats. But some stand out more than others. In particular, network segmentation is described as “the first answer to insufficient ICS (Industrial Control System) cybersecurity.” Experts advocate zoning ICS assets to coordinate informational technology (IT) and OT environments effectively. That doesn’t always happen, however.
Data Security Explained: Challenges and Solutions
Data is the most valuable asset for any business. No matter what industry you are in, it’s critical to take care of your data, whether it is financial reports, healthcare records or a start-up business plan. Despite increased data protection regulation, data breach risks are growing. According to Capita, 80% of data breaches involve personally identifiable information at a cost of $150 per record.
Defending the Internet of Things from hackers and viruses
The 2010 Stuxnet malicious software attack on a uranium enrichment plant in Iran had all the twists and turns of a spy thriller. The plant was air gapped (not connected to the internet) so it couldn’t be targeted directly by an outsider. Instead, the attackers infected five of the plant’s partner organizations, hoping that an engineer from one of them would unknowingly introduce the malware to the network via a thumb drive.
