Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) Integration FrameworkATP Integration Framework is mechanism for IBM Security Network Protection (ISNP) to receive external alerts and act on these alerts using Quarantine

Two integrations methods User instigated via QRadar GUI Right-Click tool Automated via direct XML API on the ISNP Appliance

Advanced Threat Protection Policy

An alert will be mapped to one of five types

Compromise a successful breach of security, currently active within the environment. This could range from subversive human behavior to automated command and control exploits.

Reputation describes characteristics tied to an address or web URI and related to geography or observed content behavior.

Intrusion an instance of an in progress network attack attempt

Malware represents malicious software in flight on the network or at risk on a disk.

Advanced Threat Protection Policy (cont.)

Exposure/vulnerability represents an identified network weaknesses which, if successfully exploited, could result in compromises

• The classification of the alert into one of 3 severities–High–Medium–Low

Web Security Appliance Uses sandboxing to execute and profile files to identify Command & Control (C&C) hosts Can monitor traffic and identify internal hosts that are compromised (through calls to known C&C sites)

Although Malware Detection systems can raise alerts, they are not enforcement devices

ISNP can provide the enforcement for Malware Detection

Typical Use Cases

• There are three supported Quarantine use cases:

• Compromise: A machine infected with malware, transmitting data to a Command & Control Server represents a Compromised Host in an enterprise network.

• Reputation: A Command & Control Server contacted by a Compromised Host or a Web Server Hosting A Web Exploit represents a Malicious Server with a poor reputation.

• Malware: A Malware Object being transmitted over the network to a Target Host from a Hosting Server represents a Threat-In-Flight.
