Release Notes CSE(SEIM) (Content Release) - January 12, 2024
The most recent changes include new log mappers, parsers, and normalization schema metadata in addition to Cloud SIEM rules. In addition, a number of rules have been improved to include more accurate MITRE ATT&CK® method and strategy tags.
Rules
Improved expressions for more precise detections and a reduction in false positives in event matching are one of the updated rules. AWS and Azure activities, DLL loads, suspicious Lambda functions, RAT activities, script executions, process spawning, and modifications to Windows Update Agent DLLs and XSL script processing are just a few of the threat scenarios that are covered by this update.
Log Mappers
New 1Password audit and usage actions, new Zeek DNS and HTTP activities and new Zeek conn activity.
Parsers
New /Parsers/System/1Password/1Password, new /Parsers/System/1PasswordC2C/1PasswordC2C and new /Parsers/System/Zeek/Zeek.
Schema
[New] metadata_sourceBlockId: _blockId of the original log message (from Sumo Logic)
Release Notes Service - January 15, 2024
An update for better efficiency and data collecting has been made to the Active Directory JSON - OpenTelemetry program. The sumo.datasource value changes from Active Directory to Windows, resolving double data ingestion for users with both apps installed. Note: The Active Directory app will not display pre-upgrade data. Update the collection configuration by following the procedures if you're upgrading just the Active Directory app.
1.Open the configuration file located in C:\ProgramData\Sumo Logic\OpenTelemetry Collector\config\conf.d.
2.Update the following attributes:
key: sumo.datasource
value: windows
action: insert
3.Restart the collector by using the following Powershell command Restart-Service -Name OtelcolSumo.
To avoid consuming twice the data, if both apps are installed, remove the Active Directory OTEL YAML configuration. If you merely have Windows - OpenTelemetry installed, nothing needs to be done.
