Kaspersky Unified Monitoring and Analysis Platform

Step 5. Response

This is an optional step of the Installation Wizard. On the Response tab of the Installation Wizard, you can select or create response rules and indicate which actions must be performed when the correlation rules are triggered. There can be multiple response rules. You can add them by clicking the Add button and can remove them by clicking the button.

To add an existing response rule to a resource set:

1. Click Add.

   The response rule settings window opens.

2. In the Response rule drop-down list, select the relevant resource.

The response rule is added to the resource set for the correlator.

To create a new response rule in a resource set:

1. Click Add.

   The response rule settings window opens.

2. In the Response rule drop-down list, select Create new.
3. In the Type drop-down list, select the type of response rule and define its corresponding settings:
   • KSC response—response rules for automatically launching the tasks on Kaspersky Security Center assets. For example, you can configure automatic startup of a virus scan or database update.

     Tasks are automatically started when KUMA is integrated with Kaspersky Security Center. Tasks are run only on assets that were imported from Kaspersky Security Center.

     Response settings

     • Kaspersky Security Center task (required)—name of the Kaspersky Security Center task that you need to start. Tasks must be created beforehand, and their names must begin with "KUMA ". For example, "KUMA antivirus check".

       Types of Kaspersky Security Center tasks that can be started using KUMA:

       • Update
       • Virus scan
     • Event field (required)—defines the event field of the asset for which the Kaspersky Security Center task should be started. Possible values:
       • SourceAssetID
       • DestinationAssetID
       • DeviceAssetID

     To send requests to Kaspersky Security Center, you must ensure that Kaspersky Security Center is available over the UDP protocol.

   • Run script—response rules for automatically running a script. For example, you can create a script containing commands to be executed on the KUMA server when selected events are detected.

     The script file is stored on the server where the correlator service using the response resource is installed: /opt/kaspersky/kuma/correlator/<Correlator ID>/scripts.

     The kuma user of this server requires the permissions to run the script.

     Response settings

     • Timeout—the number of seconds the system will wait before running the script.
     • Script name (required)—the name of the script file.

       If the script Response resource is linked to the Correlator service, but the is no script file in the /opt/kaspersky/kuma/correlator/<Correlator ID>/scripts directory, the service will not start.

     • Script arguments—parameters or event field values that must be passed to the script.

       If the script includes actions taken on files, you should specify the absolute path to these files.

       Parameters can be written with quotation marks (").

       Event field names are passed in the {{.EventField}} format, where EventField is the name of the event field which value must be passed to the script.

       Example: -n "\"usr\": {{.SourceUserName}}"

   • KEDR response—response rules for automatically creating prevention rules, starting network isolation, or starting the application on Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response and Kaspersky Security Center assets.

     Automatic response actions are carried out when KUMA is integrated with Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response.

     Response settings

     • Event field (required)—event field containing the asset for which the response actions are needed. Possible values:
       • SourceAssetID
       • DestinationAssetID
       • DeviceAssetID
     • Task type—response action to be performed when data matching the filter is received. The following types of response actions are available:
       • Enable network isolation.

         When selecting this type of response, you need to define values for the following settings:

         • Isolation timeout—the number of hours during which the network isolation of an asset will be active. You can indicate from 1 to 9,999 hours.

           If necessary, you can add an exclusion for network isolation.

           To add an exclusion for network isolation:

           1. Click the Add exclusion button.
           2. Select the direction of network traffic that must not be blocked:
              • Inbound.
              • Outbound.
              • Inbound/Outbound.
           3. In the Asset IP field, enter the IP address of the asset whose network traffic must not be blocked.
           4. If you selected Inbound or Outbound, specify the connection ports in the Remote ports and Local ports fields.
           5. If you want to add more than one exclusion, click Add exclusion and repeat the steps to fill in the Traffic direction, Asset IP, Remote ports and Local ports fields.
           6. If you want to delete an exclusion, click the Delete button under the relevant exclusion.

           When adding exclusions to a network isolation rule, Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response may incorrectly display the port values in the rule details. This does not affect application performance. For more details on viewing a network isolation rule, please refer to the Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform Help Guide.

       • Disable network isolation.
       • Add prevention rule.

         When selecting this type of response, you need to define values for the following settings:

         • Event fields to extract hash from—event fields from which KUMA extracts SHA256 or MD5 hashes of the files that must be prevented from starting.

           The selected event fields and the values selected in the Event field must be added to the inherited fields of the correlation rule.

         • File hash #1—SHA256 or MD5 hash of the file to be blocked.

         At least one of the above fields must be completed.

       • Delete prevention rule.
       • Run program.

         When selecting this type of response, you need to define values for the following settings:

         • File path—path to the file of the process that you want to start.
         • Command line parameters—parameters with which you want to start the file.
         • Working directory—directory in which the file is located at the time of startup.

         When a response rule is triggered for users with the General Administrator role, the Run program task will be displayed in the Task manager section of the application web interface. Scheduled task is displayed for this task in the Created column of the task table. You can view task completion results.

         All of the listed operations can be performed on assets that have Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Windows. On assets that have Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux, the application can only be started.

         At the software level, the capability to create prevention rules and network isolation rules for assets with Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux is unlimited. KUMA and Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response do not provide any notifications about unsuccessful application of these rules.

   • Response via KICS for Networks—response rules for automatically starting tasks on KICS for Networks assets. For example, you can change the asset status in KICS for Networks.

     Tasks are automatically started when KUMA is integrated with KICS for Networks.

     Response settings

     • Event field (required)—event field containing the asset for which the response actions are needed. Possible values:
       • SourceAssetID
       • DestinationAssetID
       • DeviceAssetID
     • KICS for Networks task—response action to be performed when data matching the filter is received. The following types of response actions are available:
       • Change asset status to Authorized.
       • Change asset status to Unauthorized.

       When a response rule is triggered, KUMA will send KICS for Networks an API request to change the status of the specified device to Authorized or Unauthorized.

   • Response via Active Directory—response rules for changing the permissions of Active Directory users. For example, block a user.

     Tasks are started if integration with Active Directory is configured.

     Response settings

     • Account ID source—event field, source of the Active Directory account ID value. Possible values:
       • SourceAccountID
       • DestinationAccountID
     • AD command—command that is applied to the account when the response rule is triggered. Possible values:
       
       • Add account to group
       • Remove account from group
       • Reset account password
       • Block account

• In the Workers field, specify the number of processes that the service can run simultaneously.

  By default, the number of workers is the same as the number of virtual processors on the server where the service is installed.

  This field is optional.

1. In the Filter section, you can specify conditions to identify events that will be processed using the response rule. You can select an existing filter from the drop-down list or create a new filter.

   Creating a filter in resources

   To create a filter:

   1. In the Filter drop-down list, select Create new.
   2. If you want to keep the filter as a separate resource, select the Save filter check box. In this case, you will be able to use the created filter in various services. This check box is cleared by default.
   3. If you selected the Save filter check box, enter a name for the created filter resource in the Name field. Maximum length of the name: 128 Unicode characters.
   4. Under Conditions, specify the conditions that the events must meet:
      1. Click the Add condition button.
      2. In the Left operand and Right operand drop-down lists, specify the search parameters. Depending on the data source selected in the Right operand field, fields of additional parameters for identifying the value to be passed to the filter may be displayed. For example, when you select active list, you must specify the name of the active list, the entry key, and the entry key field.
      3. In the operator drop-down list, select an operator.

         Filter operators

         • =—the left operand equals the right operand.
         • <—the left operand is less than the right operand.
         • <=—the left operand is less than or equal to the right operand.
         • >—the left operand is greater than the right operand.
         • >=—the left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand.
         • inSubnet—the left operand (IP address) is in the subnet of the right operand (subnet).
         • contains—the left operand contains values of the right operand.
         • startsWith—the left operand starts with one of the values of the right operand.
         • endsWith—the left operand ends with one of the values of the right operand.
         • match—the left operand matches the regular expression of the right operand. The RE2 regular expressions are used.
         • hasBit—checks whether the left operand (string or number) contains bits whose positions are listed in the right operand (in a constant or in a list).

           The value to be checked is converted to binary and processed right to left. Chars are checked whose index is specified as a constant or a list.

           If the value being checked is a string, then an attempt is made to convert it to integer and process it in the way described above. If the string cannot be converted to a number, the filter returns False.

         • hasVulnerability—checks whether the left operand contains an asset with the vulnerability and vulnerability severity specified in the right operand.

           If you do not specify the ID and severity of the vulnerability, the filter is triggered if the asset in the event being checked has any vulnerability.

         • inActiveList—this operator has only one operand. Its values are selected in the Key fields field and are compared with the entries in the active list selected from the Active List drop-down list.
         • inDictionary—checks whether the specified dictionary contains an entry defined by the key composed with the concatenated values of the selected event fields.
         • inCategory—the asset in the left operand is assigned at least one of the asset categories of the right operand.
         • inActiveDirectoryGroup—the Active Directory account in the left operand belongs to one of the Active Directory groups in the right operand.
         • TIDetect—this operator is used to find events using CyberTrace Threat Intelligence (TI) data. This operator can be used only on events that have completed enrichment with data from CyberTrace Threat Intelligence. In other words, it can only be used in collectors at the destination selection stage and in correlators.
         • inContextTable—presence of the entry in the specified context table.
         • intersect—presence in the left operand of the list items specified in the right operand.

      4. If you want the operator to be case-insensitive, select the do not match case check box. The selection of this check box does not apply to the InSubnet, InActiveList, InCategory or InActiveDirectoryGroup operators. This check box is cleared by default.
      5. If you want to add a negative condition, select If not from the If drop-down list.

      You can add multiple conditions or a group of conditions.

   5. If you have added multiple conditions or groups of conditions, choose a selection condition (and, or, not) by clicking the AND button.
   6. If you want to add existing filters that are selected from the Select filter drop-down list, click the Add filter button. You can view the nested filter settings by clicking the button.

The new response rule was added to the resource set for the correlator.

Proceed to the next step of the Installation Wizard.
