Integrate Devices

The Rapid7 Digital Risk Protection Automation and Threat Intelligence capabilities streamline the threat remediation process by identifying and taking down internal and external threats.

Digital Risk Protection and Threat Intelligence deliver:

• Early warnings of hacking efforts and fraudulent attacks targeting a specific user or individual company, via a sophisticated cyber-intelligence platform.
• Tailored intelligence by scanning a wide range of sources (such as: the clear web, dark web, cyber-crime forums, IRC channels, social media, app stores, and paste sites) and provides near-real-time alerts regarding cyber-threats.

Every indicator of compromise (IOC) is examined to validate its severity and context. The outcome is a tailor-made list of indicators that can be shared with security information and event management (SIEM) devices.

For example, by pushing IOCs to a security device, you can protect employees and customers by automatically blocking email messages sent from malicious IP addresses and domains. Rapid7 sends the IOCs to the device’s anti-spam service, and the IOCs are immediately added to the blocked senders list.

For customer on-premises devices, the Threat Intelligence Virtual Appliance connects the IOCs Management module running in the Digital Risk Protection cloud to the security or monitoring devices that protect your organizational network. The IOCs Management module in the cloud aggregates IOCs, acquired from Digital Risk Protection alerts, Rapid7 analyst research, third-party intelligence feeds, customer documents and emails, and more.

For customer cloud devices, the appliance is not necessary, as all communication takes place in the cloud.

Devices can be updated with IOCs using the following methods:

• Pull - The device pulls IOCs from Digital Risk Protection.

• Push - Digital Risk Protection pushes IOCs to the device.

The device itself defines the method (push or pull) as well as whether communication is using the virtual appliance or with the Digital Risk Protection cloud.

The following process describes how Digital Risk Protection pushes IOCs to an anti-spam blocklist on a cloud device:

1. Digital Risk Protection identifies IOCs from Threat Intelligence, and optionally from public and private feeds on the internet.
2. IOCs are stored in the Digital Risk Protection cloud.
3. Digital Risk Protection enriches the IOCs in the cloud, to get as much information about threat actors, malware, and campaigns as possible, to provide maximum benefit to the client.
4. Within Digital Risk Protection, the client determines which IOCs are sent to their device.
5. The client integrates their device with Digital Risk Protection, via the cloud interface and/or the Rapid7 Virtual Appliance.
6. The Digital Risk Protection cloud integration server connects to the client device account.
7. The Digital Risk Protection cloud server pushes new IOCs to the client anti-spam blocklist on their device.

Integration with devices

To successfully configure integration with a security device, you need to complete the following steps:

1. Add a device with the virtual appliance or the cloud.
2. Create an IOC group that will share IOCs with the device.
3. Copy the URL of the IOC group to the device manager and perform additional configuration, as necessary.

This section describes steps 1 and 3.

Creating an IOC group (step 2) is described in Automate Internal Remediation .
