Case Management with TheHive

Introduction: Streamlining Incident Response

In today's rapidly evolving threat landscape, organizations face the challenge of detecting and responding to security incidents swiftly and effectively. This guide explores a comprehensive approach to incident response by integrating Wazuh Manager, VirusTotal, TheHive, and an SMTP server. By leveraging these tools together, organizations can streamline their incident response processes, enhance collaboration among security teams, and mitigate potential threats more efficiently.Detecting Security Events with Wazuh Manager Wazuh Manager serves as a powerful security monitoring and intrusion detection system. It continuously analyzes system logs and detects various security events, including suspicious activities associated with Mimikatz, a popular tool used for credential theft.

Extracting SHA256 Hashes with Shuffle

Upon detecting security events, Wazuh Manager forwards relevant data to Shuffle, a data processing and enrichment tool. Shuffle extracts SHA256 hashes from files associated with Mimikatz alerts, providing unique identifiers for further analysis and investigation.

Assessing File Reputation Scores with VirusTotal

With SHA256 hashes extracted, we can leverage VirusTotal, a comprehensive malware analysis platform, to assess the reputation scores of files. By querying VirusTotal's extensive database of file metadata and threat intelligence, we gain insights into the potential risks posed by the files associated with security events.

Automating Alert Creation with TheHive API

TheHive, an open-source security incident response platform, plays a central role in orchestrating incident response activities. Leveraging TheHive's powerful API, we automate the creation of alerts based on the processed data from Wazuh Manager, Shuffle, and VirusTotal. This automation reduces manual effort, accelerates response times, and ensures consistent handling of security incidents.

Facilitating Collaboration with Detailed Reports via SMTP

Effective collaboration among security analysts is essential for timely and coordinated incident response. To facilitate communication and collaboration, we set up an SMTP server to send detailed reports to SOC (Security Operations Center) analysts. These reports contain critical information, including alert details, file hashes, VirusTotal reputation scores, and any additional context necessary for investigation.

Strengthening Incident Response Capabilities

By integrating Wazuh Manager, VirusTotal, TheHive, and an SMTP server, organizations can strengthen their incident response capabilities and effectively mitigate security risks. This integrated approach empowers security teams to detect, analyze, and respond to security incidents with greater speed, accuracy, and efficiency. By implementing these best practices, organizations can enhance their overall security posture and better protect their assets from emerging threats.
