Phantom Integration

Description

The Phantom integration for ExtraHop Reveal(x) enables you to automate and orchestrate rapid security investigation, response, and remediation workflows. ExtraHop Reveal(x) provides a uniquely rich, real-time data source by turning unstructured packets into structured wire data and analyzing it in real-time. Based on this data, you can confidently configure Phantom to automate security workflows and investigations and orchestrate precise, rapid responses to security threats more effectively than ever before.

Extrahop and Phantom connect through simple, powerful REST APIs, making it easy to build and iterate new use cases to get the most value for the least effort, a vital capability for thinly stretched enterprise security teams.

The Phantom integration for ExtraHop Reveal(x) is composed of an ExtraHop bundle and a Phantom app. The ExtraHop appliance sends events to Phantom through an ExtraHop open data stream (ODS), which is accessed through the ExtraHop Trigger API.

In Phantom, these events create a container with a single child artifact.

Playbook examples

The ExtraHop app for Phantom and the Phantom bundle for ExtraHop include example playbooks to help get you started. These example playbooks demonstrate how you can configure third-party Phantom apps to react to wire data observed by ExtraHop.

Disclaimer: The example playbooks rely on third-party Phantom integrations that are tested and maintained independently of the ExtraHop app.

ExtraHop Externally Accessible Databases

This playbook example shows you how to configure the Palo Alto Networks Firewall app to automatically block external clients from accessing internal databases. When an ExtraHop appliance detects an external machine accessing an internal database, the appliance sends information about the client, server, and peers of those machines to the Phantom appliance. In Phantom, the Palo Alto Networks Firewall app then blocks traffic from the specified external client IP address.

Components

• Phantom Database Access trigger: This ExtraHop trigger counts each time an external IP address accesses an internal database.
• Phantom Connector trigger: This trigger sends the information collected by the Phantom Database Access trigger to the Phantom app.
• Palo Alto Networks Firewall app: This Phantom app blocks the external IP addresses from accessing the internal database.

To configure this playbook:

1. On the ExtraHop appliance, click the System Settings icon, and then click Triggers.
2. Select the checkbox next to Phantom Database Access, and then click Enable.
3. On the Phantom appliance, navigate to Playbooks.
4. In the search bar, type ExtraHop.
5. In the row for extrahop_externally_accessible_databases, select Active from the Status list.

Extrahop Detect Data Exfiltration

This playbook example shows you how to configure the Anomali ThreatStream app to analyze devices involved in ExtraHop data-exfiltration anomalies. When an ExtraHop appliance detects a data exfiltration anomaly on a device, the appliance sends a list of all recent peers of the device to the Phantom appliance. In Phantom, the Anomali ThreatStream app analyzes each IP address. If ThreatStream finds a known bad IP address, it notifies the ExtraHop appliance, which adds the bad_ip_reputation tag to the device. Phantom then creates a task for an analyst to manually look into the data exfiltration event.

Components

• Phantom - Data Exfiltration Detected alert: This ExtraHop alert is generated when ExtraHop detects a data exfiltration anomaly.
• Phantom Detect Data Exfiltration trigger: Whenever a Data Exfiltration Detected alert is generated, this ExtraHop trigger records information about peers of the device that the anomaly was detected on.
• Phantom Connector trigger: This trigger sends the information collected by the Phantom Detect Data Exfiltration trigger to the Phantom app.
• Anomali ThreatStream app: This Phantom app analyzes the peer IP addresses sent from an ExtraHop appliance.

To configure this playbook:

1. On the ExtraHop appliance, click the System Settings icon, and then click Triggers.
2. Select the checkbox next to Phantom Detect Data Exfiltration, and then click Enable.
3. Click the System Settings icon and then click Alerts.
4. Select the checkbox next to Phantom - Data Exfiltration Detected, and then click Enable.
5. On the Phantom appliance, navigate to Playbooks.
6. In the search bar, type ExtraHop.
7. Click extrahop_detect_data_exfiltration.
8. Click Edit Playbook.
9. Click the decision block directly following the ip reputation block and configure the threshold values for both Threat Score and Confidence to fit your operational requirements.
10. Click Save.
11. In the row for extrahop_detect_data_exfiltration, select Active from the Status list.

ExtraHop New DNS Servers

This playbook example shows you how to configure a Nessus vulnerability scanner app to scan new DNS servers discovered by the ExtraHop system for vulnerabilities. The playbook queries the ExtraHop appliance every 30 minutes through the ExtraHop REST API for information about any newly discovered DNS servers on your network. The Nessus Phantom app then scans each of the new DNS servers for potential vulnerabilities.

Components

• Timer asset: This Phantom asset queries an ExtraHop appliance for newly discovered DNS servers on your network and forwards information about those servers to Nessus.
• Nessus app: This Phantom app scans DNS servers for potential security vulnerabilities.
