Generate Casebook with Top Hosts and Peers

Workflow #0034

Response Workflow

This workflow fetches the top 10 hosts and peers that communicated with the IP address pivoted on from Cisco Secure Network Analytics (SNA). The lists of IPs are then added to a SecureX casebook. Supported observable: ip

This workflow has been updated to use the new "SecureX Token" account key. For more information about this, please see this page. If you want to use legacy authentication, you can import an older version of the workflow.

  • The targets and account keys listed at the bottom of the page
  • A SecureX orchestration remote with connectivity to your Secure Network Analytics instance
  • Cisco Secure Network Analytics (SNA)

Workflow Steps

  1. Make sure the observable type provided is supported
  2. Fetch global variables
  3. Calculate date 24 hours ago
  4. Get Secure Network Analytics tokens and tenant information
  5. Fetch and parse the top peers
  6. Fetch and parse the top hosts
  7. Make sure at least one of the queries returned data
  8. Create a casebook in SecureX

Configuration

  • Add your Secure Network Analytics API username and password to SNA Username and SNA Password (or, if you have them stored in global variables, use the Fetch Global Variables group at the beginning of the workflow to update the local variables)
  • Set the SNA Tenant Name to the name of the tenant you want to work in
  • If you want to change the name of this workflow in the pivot menu, change its display name

Targets
