Reporting Dashboard Revamp
The Reporting & Analytics dashboard module has been completely revamped as the Reporting Dashboard, with a new user interface and new functionalities. The new reporting features offer personalized dashboards to security executives and managers to visualize and monitor their Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in real time.
This module comprises two main parts: Widgets and Dashboards.
Widgets provide visual representations of data extracted from four sources: Artifact, Event, Global List, and Incident. You can create queries using the query builder to extract data from these sources and select specific time ranges and sites to display within the widget. Once created, these widgets can be added to Dashboards.
Dashboards are collections of widgets that can be tailored to meet different reporting needs, including KPI monitoring, SLA monitoring, and SOC team management. The dashboard view can also be filtered by sites and time range and exported as PNG.
In addition, you can use the email scheduler feature to automate the sharing of dashboards, by conveniently scheduling one-time or recurring emails to recipients. Recipients receive a viewable link in the email, providing easy access to the interactive dashboard without requiring additional logins, facilitating streamlined communication and data-driven decision-making.
MSSP Client Access Portal
The MSSP (Managed Security Service Provides) client portal is an innovative addition enhancing communication, visibility, and collaboration between MSSPs and their clients.
Once the MSSP client portal license is purchased and activated, MSSPs can create user accounts with customized roles specifically designed for their clients. These roles, configured with the "Client" access type, provide MSSP clients with limited access to the SOAR platform, including the investigation dashboard and reporting dashboard. Here are some highlighted key features:
Incident Review: Clients can view incidents and events from the investigation dashboard, allowing them to view summarized and in-depth incident details.
Interaction Capabilities: Clients can take limited actions, such as running ad hoc commands and responding to pending tasks that require SLA approvals.
Messaging: MSSPs can improve response times and promote collaboration by using the portal to communicate with their clients and request approvals via the message center.
Reporting and Analytics Dashboard: MSSPs can curate reports and data visualizations to provide clients with valuable insights into their security operations.
Investigations Tab: Clients can view insights on each incident curated by the MSSP, organized by Summary, Findings, Mitigations, and Recommendations.
The client portal serves as a centralized hub, consolidating all necessary functionalities for efficient and effective collaboration. It empowers MSSPs and their clients to seamlessly interact, share information, and work together towards their security goals.
Incident Workspace Enhancement
Key Fields
The Incident Summary section within the Overview Tab has been renamed to Key Fields, allowing for the inclusion of custom fields. Just like the previous Incident Summary section, Key Fields displays and allows you to edit the default incident fields filled in by an analyst or playbook during the event escalation or incident intake process. The notable enhancement is the introduction of the Custom Fields section, which provides flexibility in field mapping. Previously, these fields were limited to a predetermined set of system fields.
Your Pending Tasks
The Your Pending Tasks section provides an overview of your top six most urgent ad-hoc tasks and playbook tasks related to the selected incident. This section will only display tasks assigned to you.
The tasks are organized based on their due dates. From left to right, these tasks are colour-coded based on urgency, with red indicating the tasks past their due dates, followed by yellow for tasks due within one hour. Tasks without a coloured stripe are those with deadlines further in the future or no deadline. Tasks with a required tag must be completed before an incident can be closed, while suggested playbook tasks need your input to run or skip the task. Clicking on a task will bring up the full task details.
Investigations Tab
The Investigations Tab is a brand new tab added to Incident Workspace.
This tab is a centralized location designed for analysts to input and manage investigation information related to an incident. It consists of four sections: Summary, Findings, Remediations & Mitigations, and Recommendations. Analysts can input incident investigation information to the appropriate sections by using JSON-defined data tables or HTML, allowing them to record details such as notes, findings, and recommendations. The Findings section is further divided into subsections for Initial Findings, Data Enrichments, Data Correlations, Indicators of Attack (IOA), and Indicators of Compromise (IOC). Analysts can manually input information through the user interface or use utility commands in playbooks for automated data population, saving time and ensuring accurate capture of critical details.
Two new utility commands are available to help automate populating the investigation sections.
Export Incident Report Enhancement
The incident template has been revised to match the updated and new components of the Incident Workspace. These revisions apply to both the exported templates in Microsoft Word and PDF formats.
Incident Messaging
Incident messaging allows SOC analysts to communicate about investigations, and for MSSPs to collaborate with clients. New features include mentioning and direct messaging, requesting approval, and Slack integration. Plans for integration with other messaging services are in development for future releases.
Data Ingestion
MITRE TTP Search and Event Automation Rules Settings
Upon configuring a new data source across different components in D3 SOAR, such as API Keys, JWT, Data Ingestion, Schedule, Upload File (from the Investigation Dashboard), and Ongoing Surveillance Task, two checkboxes will appear that allow you to customize the behaviour of ingested events. The first checkbox enables the automatic mapping of ingested events from the data source to MITRE tactics and techniques. The second checkbox enables event automation rules for event dismissal and escalation.
JWT Authentication
JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open and widely accepted industry standard, defined in RFC 7519. They provide a secure and efficient way of transferring claims between two parties, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of the data. JWTs can now be used to authenticate data ingestion and remote commands via webhook in D3 SOAR. Additionally, token creators have the ability to reassign, regenerate, rename, and delete tokens as needed.
To enable JWT authentication in D3 SOAR, navigate to Configuration > Application Settings > Web Config, and set the value of the "EnableEnhanceWebhookAuthentication" configuration key to True.
IOA/IOC Link Analysis
The IOA/IOC Link Analysis tab under the Investigation Dashboard visualizes the relationships between indicators of attack (IOAs) and indicators of compromise (IOCs) from events and incidents. You can view analyses from the past 7 or 30 days to gather historical attack patterns. Each node represents an artifact entity, coloured red (IOA), yellow (IOC), or both. Arrows show the direction of the labelled relationship. Clicking on a node reveals more information, and the "Add Investigation Details" command lets users define artifact relationships for automated link analysis.
Incident Playbook Enhancements
Trigger: On Incident External Action
The On Incident External Action trigger in incident playbooks combines external action data with raw incident data, allowing users to perform a comprehensive investigation on an incident using a defined playbook workflow. By ingesting events through the D3 API with a unique key, multiple requests with the same key ID are aggregated into a single incident. This trigger feature enables users to initiate additional workflows for investigating a specific incident without the need to log into D3 SOAR directly.
Utility Commands Enhancements
The following utility commands have been added to this release of D3 SOAR.
Commands | Functionality |
Add Investigation Details | Adds investigation details in HTML rich text to the sections in the Investigation Tab. |
Add Investigation Table Content | Adds data tables defined in JSON format to the relevant Incident Workspace's Investigation Tab. You can use this utility command to populate any of the sections in the Investigation Tab, as well as highlight important key details. |
Get Incident Static Field | Returns all static incident fields and corresponding values of the specified incident, which are shown in the overview tab in Incident Workspace. |
Get Related Incidents by Artifact | Searches for incidents related to the specified artifact(s). |
Link Event To Incident | Searches for a pre-existing incident by applying a specific set of search conditions and updates the custom fields of the first identified incident that meets the search conditions. The corresponding event is also added to the same incident. If no matching incident is found, a new incident is created. |
Set Incident Field HTML | Adds HTML content to a specified incident's description, note or conclusion, which is shown in the overview tab in Incident Workspace. |
Trigger Incident External Action | Activates the "On Incident External Action" trigger in incident playbooks for the first incident that matches the specified search conditions. |
Connections Module Enhancement
The connections module now has a newly added Webhook Keys tab. This tab allows you to efficiently manage and view all the webhook keys you have created and are currently available for your account. This addition is especially beneficial for our MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider) users who need to manage webhook keys for various tenants and client sites. With the Webhook Keys tab, you can conveniently access and remove keys created from your account in a centralized location, streamlining your key management process.
Application Settings Enhancements
Dashboard Columns
With this new update, you can now easily manage the default and custom columns displayed in your investigation dashboard. When you add a new custom column, it will be automatically saved to the investigation dashboard. To enable or disable the column, simply click the "more" icon located on the top right corner of event and investigation lists.
Logo Customization
You can now customize the branding of your incident reports and email approval pages to better reflect your company or MSSP's corporate identity.
By default, the incident report and send email templates are equipped with D3's logo. You can now upload your own logo to replace the default one. Additionally, you can also include your company URL in the header of the incident report. Every time an incident report is generated or an email approval page is sent, your logo will be prominently displayed, providing your team and clients with a consistent and professional brand experience.
Proxy Agent Update
We have released a new version of the proxy agent along side D3 SOAR version 16.0. To ensure compatibility, please upgrade your proxy agent to version 16.0.18.0. For instructions on how to update a proxy agent, please refer to the Agent Management section in the user guide.
