Integrate Devices

The Rapid7 Threat Command Automation and TIP modules streamline the threat remediation process by identifying and taking down internal and external threats.

Threat Command delivers:

• 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 Command virtual appliance connects the IOCs Management module running in the Threat Command cloud to the security or monitoring devices that protect your organizational network. The IOCs Management module in the cloud aggregates IOCs, acquired from Threat Command 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 Threat Command.

• Push - Threat Command 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 Threat Command cloud.

The following process describes how Threat Command pushes IOCs to an anti-spam blocklist on a cloud device:

1. Threat Command identifies IOCs from the Threat Command Tailored Intelligence Platform (TIP), and optionally from public and private feeds on the internet.
2. IOCs are stored in the Threat Command cloud.
3. Threat Command 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 Threat Command, the client determines which IOCs are sent to their device.
5. The client integrates their device with Threat Command, via the cloud interface and/or the Threat Command virtual appliance.
6. The Threat Command cloud integration server connects to the client device account.
7. The Threat Command 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 the "Automate Internal Remediation" section of the Threat Command User Guide.
