Instructions on the 3rd Party Solution

Forward Cisco Email Security Appliance Logs to Sekoia.io

This setup guide will show you how to provide an integration between Cisco Email Security Appliance events and Sekoia.io.

Detailed Procedure:

  1. Enable Syslog Forwarding:
  2. Log in to your Cisco appliance
  3. Go to System Administration > Log Subscriptions
  4. In Add Log Subscription, select Consolidated Event Logs as the log type
  5. Select the fields that you want in the consolidated event logs
  6. In Retrieval Method, check Syslog Push and fill the form with the IP address and the port of your log concentrator
  7. Submit and commit your changes

Instruction on Sekoia

Configure Your Intake

This section will guide you through creating the intake object in Sekoia, which provides a unique identifier called the "Intake key." The Intake key is essential for later configuration, as it references the Community, Entity, and Parser (Intake Format) used when receiving raw events on Sekoia.

  1. Go to the Sekoia Intake page.
  2. Click on the + New Intake button at the top right of the page.
  3. Search for your Intake by the product name in the search bar.
  4. Give it a Name and associate it with an Entity (and a Community if using multi-tenant mode).
  5. Click on Create.

Note

For more details on how to use the Intake page and to find the Intake key you just created, refer to this documentation.

Configure a forwarder

To forward events using syslog to Sekoia.io, you need to update the syslog header with the intake key you previously created. Here is an example of your message before the forwarder

<%pri%>1 %timestamp:::date-rfc3339% %hostname% %app-name% %procid% LOG RAW_MESSAGE
and after
<%pri%>1 %timestamp:::date-rfc3339% %hostname% %app-name% %procid% LOG [SEKOIA@53288 intake_key=\"YOUR_INTAKE_KEY\"] RAW_MESSAGE

To achieve this you can:

  • Use the Sekoia.io forwarder which is the official supported way to collect data using the syslog protocol in Sekoia.io. In charge of centralizing data coming from many equipments/sources and forwarding them to Sekoia.io with the apporpriated format, it is a prepackaged option. You only have to provide your intake key as parameter.
  • Use your own Syslog service instance. Maybe you already have an intance of one of these components on your side and want to reuse it in order to centralize data before forwarding them to Sekoia.io. When using this mode, you have to configure and maintain your component in order to respect the expected Sekoia.io format.

Warning

Only the Sekoia.io forwarder is officially supported. Other options are documented for reference purposes but do not have official support.

Raw Events Samples

In this section, you will find examples of raw logs as generated natively by the source. These examples are provided to help integrators understand the data format before ingestion into Sekoia.io. It is crucial for setting up the correct parsing stages and ensuring that all relevant information is captured.

CVE-2020-0688 Microsoft Exchange Server Exploit

Detects the exploitation of CVE-2020-0688. The POC exploit a .NET serialization vulnerability in the Exchange Control Panel (ECP) web page. The vulnerability is due to Microsoft Exchange Server not randomizing the keys on a per-installation basis resulting in them using the same validationKey and decryptionKey values. With knowledge of these, values an attacker can craft a special viewstate to use an OS command to be executed by NT_AUTHORITY\SYSTEM using .NET deserialization. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs to leverage the credentials of an account it had already compromised to authenticate to OWA.

  • Effort: intermediate
Suspicious TOR Gateway

Detects suspicious TOR gateways. Gateways are often used by the victim to pay and decrypt the encrypted files without installing TOR. Tor intercepts the network traffic from one or more apps on user’s computer, usually the user web browser, and shuffles it through a number of randomly-chosen computers before passing it on to its destination. This disguises user location, and makes it harder for servers to pick him/her out on repeat visits, or to tie together separate visits to different sites, this making tracking and surveillance more difficult. Before a network packet starts its journey, user’s computer chooses a random list of relays and repeatedly encrypts the data in multiple layers, like an onion. Each relay knows only enough to strip off the outermost layer of encryption, before passing what’s left on to the next relay in the list.

  • Effort: advanced
Suspicious URI Used In A Lazarus Campaign

Detects suspicious requests to a specific URI, usually on an .asp page. The website is often compromised.

  • Effort: intermediate
TOR Usage Generic Rule

Detects TOR usage globally, whether the IP is a destination or source. TOR is short for The Onion Router, and it gets its name from how it works. TOR intercepts the network traffic from one or more apps on user’s computer, usually the user web browser, and shuffles it through a number of randomly-chosen computers before passing it on to its destination. This disguises user location, and makes it harder for servers to pick him/her out on repeat visits, or to tie together separate visits to different sites, this making tracking and surveillance more difficult.

Extracted Fields

The following table lists the fields that are extracted, normalized under the ECS format, analyzed and indexed by the parser. It should be noted that infered fields are not listed.

Name Type Description
@timestamp date Date/time when the event originated.
cisco.esa.authentication.dkim.verdict keyword This field indicates the verdict assigned to a message by the ESA's DKIM authentication mechanism. DKIM is a protocol used to verify the integrity of an email message by checking a digital signature applied by the sender's domain.
cisco.esa.authentication.dmarc.verdict keyword This field indicates the verdict assigned to a message by the ESA's Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance (DMARC) mechanism. DMARC is a protocol used to verify the authenticity of email messages by checking various authentication mechanisms, such as Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM).
cisco.esa.authentication.spf.verdict keyword This field indicates the verdict assigned to a message by the ESA's SPF authentication mechanism. SPF is a protocol used to verify that an email message was sent from an authorized IP address for the sender's domain.
cisco.esa.delivery.connection_id keyword
cisco.esa.email.message_size keyword This field represents the size of the email message
cisco.esa.event.action_details keyword This field contains the details about the action of the event
cisco.esa.helo.domain keyword This field indicates the domain name associated with the HELO (or EHLO) command used by the sending
cisco.esa.helo.ip ip This field indicates the IP address associated with the HELO (or EHLO) command used by the sending server during the SMTP handshake. The HELO command is used to identify the sending server to the receiving server, and the IP address can be used to help identify the geographic location of the sending server.
cisco.esa.injection.connection_id keyword This field is similar to the cisco.esa.connection_id field, but it specifically refers to the connection ID associated with an incoming message that is being injected into the ESA for processing.
cisco.esa.protection.amp.verdict keyword This field indicates the verdict assigned to a message by the ESA's Advanced Malware Protection (AMP). A verdict can be either clean (indicating that the message does not contain any known viruses or malware) or malicious (indicating that the message contains one or more viruses or malware).
cisco.esa.protection.antivirus.verdict keyword This field indicates the verdict assigned to a message by the ESA's antivirus protection mechanism. A verdict can be either clean (indicating that the message does not contain any known viruses or malware) or infected (indicating that the message contains one or more viruses or malware).
cisco.esa.protection.dlp.verdict keyword This field indicates the verdict assigned to a message by the ESA's data loss prevention (DLP) protection mechanism. DLP is a set of tools and techniques used to prevent sensitive or confidential data from being disclosed or leaked, and the verdict for a message can indicate whether it contains any such data.
cisco.esa.protection.spam.verdict keyword This field indicates the verdict assigned to a message by the ESA's spam protection mechanism. A verdict can be either spam (indicating that the message is likely unwanted or malicious) or not spam (indicating that the message is legitimate).
cisco.esa.sender_group keyword This field refers to the sender group assigned to a message by the ESA. A sender group is a way to categorize email senders based on various criteria, such as domain name, IP address, or other attributes. By assigning a sender group to a message, the ESA can apply different policies or filtering rules based on the characteristics of the sender.
cisco.esa.source.domain.age keyword This field indicates the age of the domain associated with the sender of a message. Older domains are generally considered more trustworthy than newer domains, so this field can be used as a factor in determining whether a message is legitimate or spam.
cisco.esa.status keyword
cisco.esa.url keyword the declaration of the cisco urls
cisco.esa.url_domain keyword
email.attachments array A list of objects describing the attachment files sent along with an email message
email.from.address array A list of source email
email.local_id keyword Unique identifier given by the source.
email.message_id wildcard Value from the Message-ID header.
email.subject keyword The subject of the email message.
email.to.address array A list of destination email
event.action keyword The action captured by the event.
event.end date event.end contains the date when the event ended or when the activity was last observed.
event.severity long Numeric severity of the event.
event.start date event.start contains the date when the event started or when the activity was first observed.
host.hostname keyword Hostname of the host.
host.id keyword Unique host id.
host.name keyword Name of the host.
log.syslog.facility.name keyword Syslog text-based facility of the event.
observer.egress.interface.name keyword Interface name
observer.ingress.interface.name keyword Interface name
observer.type keyword The type of the observer the data is coming from.
observer.vendor keyword Vendor name of the observer.
observer.version keyword Observer version.
rule.name keyword Rule name
server.ip ip IP address of the server.
source.ip ip IP address of the source.
url.domain keyword Domain of the url.
url.original wildcard Unmodified original url as seen in the event source.
user_agent.original keyword Unparsed user_agent string.
