Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to systems, method, and computer-readable mediums for reducing the number of false positive alerts generated by a SIEM system by adjusting the set of rules the SIEM system uses to analyze attributes of the network traffic and/or system activities based on feedback from a SOAR system. Alert feedback may be received for a set of alerts generated in response to attributes triggering one or more rules. The alert feedback may indicate, for each alert of the set of alerts, whether the alert was a true positive alert or false positive alert. One or more conditions of the at least one rule may be adjusted based on the feedback.

Abstract: Transmission handling of analytics query response includes a search head, in a data intake and query system, receiving a query from an analytics system. The search head distributes at least a portion of the query to at least one indexer for processing the query. The at least one indexer transmits, bypassing the search head, and to the analytics system, events matching the query. The search head receives from the at least one indexer, data regarding the events, and sends the data regarding the events to the analytics system.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a search request to search a portion of a data store and splitting the search request into a plurality of sub-searches.

Abstract: Techniques are described for an IT and security operations application to automatically generate aggregate (or “bulk,” “group,” or “composite”) notable events by identifying notable events sharing common characteristics and aggregating the related notable events into a single aggregate notable event entity that can be displayed and operated upon. The IT and security operations application identifies related notable events based on notable events generated by a common correlation search, notable events having common event attributes, based on user-specified relatedness criteria, or other such criteria. Once identified, in some embodiments, the IT and security operations application displays, in notable event lists and other interfaces, a singular aggregate notable event to users representing each of the identified related notable events.

Abstract: A system and method for displaying a number of real-time security events comprises a number of client devices and an administrator device communicatively coupled to the client devices. The administrator device may comprise a preferences module and an event rate adapter module communicatively coupled to the preferences module. The preferences module receives input describing how to display a number of security events on the screen of a graphical user interface the event rate adapter module displays a number of real-time scrolling security events for a relatively longer period of time than other security events.

Abstract: According to an example, pre-cognitive SIEM may include using trained classifiers to detect an anomaly in input events, and generating a predictive attack graph based on the detected anomaly in the input events. The predictive attack graph may provide an indication of different paths that can be taken from an asset that is related to the detected anomaly to compromise other selected assets in a network of the asset, and the other selected assets may be selected based on a ranking criterion and a complexity criterion. A rank list and a complexity list may be generated. The rank list, the complexity list, a depth of the predictive attack graph, and a weighted value may be used to generate a score that provides an indication of a number of assets that can be compromised and a difficulty of exploiting vulnerabilities related to services of the assets that can be compromised.

Abstract: According to an example, security indicator access determination may include determining a security indicator that is received from a first entity by a security indicator sharing platform for sharing with a second entity. A rule associated with identification of a third entity that has access to the security indicator may be analyzed. The third entity may be different from the second entity, and if the second entity belongs to a community, the third entity may not be in the community of the second entity. A determination may be made as to whether to identify the third entity based on the analysis of the rule. In response to a determination that the third entity is to be identified or not to be identified, the third entity may be identified to the first entity, or not identified to the first entity.
