Using a Threat Intelligence Feed with LEM?

I am curious if anybody out there is using LEM in conjunction with a Threat Intelligence feed?  I realize that LEM doesn't currently accept any of the feed protocols; however, I have seen that some feeds provide human readable dashboards which can then be used in conjunction with a SIEM such as LEM.

    We keep an eye on this question to see what we can integrate with natively, but so far haven't heard much of it. We have had some people import feed info via CSVs to User-Defined Groups to use in correlation rules or filters, but so far that's about it (and it's somewhat infrequent or vague).

    Maybe some others will chime in with their experience, but that's what I've heard from the tower.

    I guess my question would be; what options do you provide for Threat Intelligence Feeds to integrate into LEM?  If you are waiting to see what you can integrate with natively, what native options do you support?

    How do you import CSV into a user defined group?  If I was able to get CSV data from some other source I would love to import a list of IP's into a group that LEM would then use as a watch list.

    Right now the only real option IS the import CSV to UDG. Effectively the "Import" on a UDG can import a CSV. Mentioned here: Log & Event Manager v5.7 RC Now Available: Scheduled Searching, License Recycling, and More! - here's the copy/paste for that section (it's super brief):

    IMPORT USER-DEFINED GROUPS FROM CSV FILES

    A commonly requested feature is the ability to import CSV files to automatically populate groups, rather than having to edit data elements by hand, which we've implemented in this RC. From Build>Groups, go to (top right) Gear>Import, change to "All File Types" and choose your CSV file. The format of the file is basically what you see in Build>Groups:

    UDG, UDG Name, UDG Description

    Element Name, Element Data, Element Description

    Element 2 Name, Element 2 Data, Element 2 Description

    If you could get the data as a big list (text?), you could create a CSV with the other 2 columns (name/description) and pull it in. Data is the column/field that's actually used for the comparison.

  • Awesome, thanks Nicole!  I will go ahead and give this a try as soon as I can.

  • nicole pauls if you get a chance you should check out the service that the folks over at ThreatStream have put together.  I just had a conversation with them today and what they have is pretty awesome.  I did mention that we use LEM as our SIEM and therefore have no native ability to consume the data from their feed.  They noted that since they are a newer company they are very agile at working with different SIEM solution providers to integrate with their technologies and he suggested that they may be reaching out to you as another SIEM to work to integrate with.  They have already integrated with different SIEM solutions and consider themselves "SIEM agnostic" despite the fact they were born from ex-ArcSight employees.  I just thought I should point this all out.

  • Sorry for bumping this old thread.

    It seems like this feature does not work anymore. I am on 6.3.1 HF5 and am unable to import CSV lists into User Defined Groups

    I followed instructions form your post and I get this error

    Has anyone got this feature working ?

    Edit: I found that this feature now works only with .txt files
