This IBM® blueprint publication focuses on early threat detection within a database environment by using IBM Security® Guardium® Data Protection and IBM QRadar® . It also highlights how to proactively start a cyber resilience workflow in response to a cyberattack or potential malicious user actions. The workflow that is presented here uses IBM Copy Services Manager as orchestration software to start IBM FlashSystem® Safeguarded Copy functions. The Safeguarded Copy creates an immutable copy of the data in an air-gapped form on the same IBM FlashSystem for isolation and eventual quick recovery. This document describes how to enable and forward Oracle database user activities (by using IBM Security Guardium Data Protection) and IBM FlashSystem audit logs by using IBM FlashSystem to IBM QRadar. This document also describes how to create various rules to determine a threat, and configure and launch a suitable response to the detected threat in IBM QRadar. The document also outlines the steps that are involved to create a Scheduled Task by using IBM Copy Services Manager with various actions.
The focus of this blueprint is to highlight early threat detection by IBM® QRadar® and to proactively start a cyber resilience workflow in response to a cyberattack or malicious user actions. The workflow uses IBM Copy Services Manager (CSM) as orchestration software to start IBM DS8000® Safeguarded Copy functions. The Safeguarded Copy creates an immutable copy of the data in an air-gapped form on the same DS8000 system for isolation and eventual quick recovery. This document also explains the steps that are involved to enable and forward IBM DS8000 audit logs to IBM QRadar. It also discusses how to use create various rules to determine a threat, and configure and start a suitable response to the detected threat in IBM QRadar. Finally, this document explains how to register a storage system and create a Scheduled Task by using CSM.
The focus of this Blueprint is to demonstrate how IBM FlashSystem® with IBM Spectrum® Virtualize can be used as a preferred back-end persistent storage for VMware Tanzu-based deployments. This document describes the use of IBM® FlashSystem storage volumes as virtual volumes (vVols) that are made available to provision persistent volumes for a VMware Tanzu deployment. All models of IBM FlashSystem family are supported by this document, including: FlashSystem 9100 and 9200 FlashSystem 7200 FlashSystem 5000 IBM SAN Volume Controller All storage that is running IBM Spectrum Virtualize software By using IBM Spectrum Connect VASA provider with IBM Spectrum Virtualize, the vVols are used to create a data store under vCenter. Post provisioning of VMware Tanzu Kubernetes grid service (TKGS), the vVols data store is used to provision the persistent volumes for future applications that are deployed on the worker nodes.
Cyberattacks are likely to remain a significant risk for the foreseeable future. Attacks on organizations can be external and internal. Investing in technology and processes to prevent these cyberattacks is the highest priority for these organizations. Organizations need well-designed procedures and processes to recover from attacks. The focus of this document is to demonstrate how the IBM® Unified Data Foundation (UDF) infrastructure plays an important role in delivering the persistence storage (PV) to containerized applications, such as IBM Cloud® Pak for Security (CP4S), with IBM Spectrum® Scale Container Native Storage Access (CNSA) that is deployed with IBM Spectrum scale CSI driver ...
This IBM® blueprint publication focuses on early threat detection within a database environment by using IBM QRadar®. It also highlights how to proactively start a cyber resilience workflow in response to a cyberattack or potential malicious user actions. The workflow that is presented here uses IBM Spectrum® Copy Data Management as orchestration software to start IBM FlashSystem® Safeguarded Copy functions. The Safeguarded Copy creates an immutable copy of the data in an air-gapped form on the same IBM FlashSystem for isolation and eventual quick recovery. This document describes how to enable and forward SQL database user activities to IBM QRadar. This document also describes how to create various rules to determine a threat, and configure and start a suitable response to the detected threat in IBM QRadar. Finally, this document outlines the steps that are involved to create a Scheduled Job by using IBM Spectrum® Copy Data Management with various actions.
The focus of this document is to highlight early threat detection by using Splunk Enterprise and proactively start a cyber resilience workflow in response to a cyberattack or malicious user action. The workflow uses IBM® Copy Services Manager (CSM) as orchestration software to invoke the IBM FlashSystem® storage Safeguarded Copy function, which creates an immutable copy of the data in an air-gapped form on the same IBM FlashSystem Storage for isolation and eventual quick recovery. This document explains the steps that are required to enable and forward IBM FlashSystem audit logs and set a Splunk forwarder configuration to forward local event logs to Splunk Enterprise. This document also de...
Having appropriate storage for hosting business-critical data and advanced Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) software for deep inspection, detection, and prioritization of threats has become a necessity for any business. This IBM® Redpaper publication explains how the storage features of IBM Spectrum® Scale, when combined with the log analysis, deep inspection, and detection of threats that are provided by IBM QRadar®, help reduce the impact of incidents on business data. Such integration provides an excellent platform for hosting unstructured business data that is subject to regulatory compliance requirements. This paper describes how IBM Spectrum Scale File Audit Logging ...
Enterprise networks are large and rely on numerous connected endpoints to ensure smooth operational efficiency. However, they also present a challenge from a security perspective. The focus of this Blueprint is to demonstrate an early threat detection against the network fabric that is powered by Brocade that uses IBM® QRadar®. It also protects the same if a cyberattack or an internal threat by rouge user within the organization occurs. The publication also describes how to configure the syslog that is forwarding on Brocade SAN FOS. Finally, it explains how the forwarded audit events are used for detecting the threat and runs the custom action to mitigate the threat. The focus of this publ...
The focus of this document is to demonstrate an early threat detection by using IBM® QRadar® and the Safeguarded Copy feature that is available as part of IBM FlashSystem® and IBM SAN Volume Controller. Such early detection protects and quickly recovers the data if a cyberattack occurs. This document describes integrating IBM FlashSystem audit logs with IBM QRadar, and the configuration steps for IBM FlashSystem and IBM QRadar. It also explains how to use the IBM QRadar's device support module (DSM) editor to normalize events and assign IBM QRadar identifier (QID) map to the events. Post IBM QRadar configuration, we review configuring Safeguarded Copy on the application volumes by using volume groups and applying Safeguarded backup polices on the volume group. Finally, we demonstrate the use of orchestration software IBM Copy Services Manager to start a recovery, restore operations for data restoration on online volumes, and start a backup of data volumes.
The newest threat to security has been categorized as the Advanced Persistent Threat or APT. The APT bypasses most of an organization's current security devices, and is typically carried out by an organized group, such as a foreign nation state or rogue group with both the capability and the intent to persistently and effectively target a specific entity and wreak havoc. Most organizations do not understand how to deal with it and what is needed to protect their network from compromise. In Advanced Persistent Threat: Understanding the Danger and How to Protect your Organization Eric Cole discusses the critical information that readers need to know about APT and how to avoid being a victim. Advanced Persistent Threat is the first comprehensive manual that discusses how attackers are breaking into systems and what to do to protect and defend against these intrusions. - How and why organizations are being attacked - How to develop a "Risk based Approach to Security" - Tools for protecting data and preventing attacks - Critical information on how to respond and recover from an intrusion - The emerging threat to Cloud based networks
