The Anomali integration can fetch indicators from Anomali ThreatStream, a commercial Threat Intelligence service.

It has the following data streams:

intelligence Indicators retrieved from the Anomali ThreatStream API’s intelligence endpoint.
threatstream Indicators received from the Anomali ThreatStream Elastic Extension, which is additional software. This is deprecated.

Logs

edit

Expiration of Indicators of Compromise (IOCs)

edit

An Elastic Transform is created to provide a view of active indicators for end users. The transform creates destination indices that are accessible via the alias of the form logs-ti_anomali_latest.<datastreamname>. When querying for active indicators or setting up indicator match rules, use the alias to avoid false positives from expired indicators. The dashboards show only the latest indicators.

Handling Orphaned IOCs

edit

Indicator data from Anomali can contain information about deletion or expiry times. However, some Anomali IOCs may never expire and will continue to stay in the latest destination index. To avoid any false positives from such orphaned IOCs, users are allowed to configure an "IOC Expiration Duration" or "IOC Duration Before Deletion" parameter while setting up a policy. The value set there will limit the time that indicators are retained before deletion, but indicators may be removed earlier based on information from Anomali.

Destination index versioning and deleting older versions

edit

The destination indices created by the transform are versioned with an integer suffix such as -1, -2, for example, logs-ti_anomali_latest.intelligence-1.

Due to schema changes in the destination index, its version number may be incremented.

When this happens, the transform does not have the functionality to auto-delete the old index, so users must delete this old index manually. This is to ensure that duplicates are not present when using wildcard queries such as logs-ti_anomali_latest.intelligence-*. To delete an old index, follow the steps below (either for intelligence as below, or for the older threatstream equivalents):

After upgrading the integration to the latest version, check the current transform’s destination index version by navigating to: Stack Management -> Transforms -> logs-ti_anomali.latest_intelligence-default -> Details. Check the destination_index value.
Run GET _cat/indices?v and check if any older versions exist. Such as logs-ti_anomali_latest.intelligence-1
Run DELETE logs-ti_anomali_latest.intelligence-<OLDVERSION> to delete the old index.

ILM Policies

edit

To prevent unbounded growth of the source data streams logs-ti_opencti.<datastreamname>-*, index lifecycle management (ILM) policies will deletes records 5 days after ingestion.

Anomali ThreatStream API

edit

The Anomali ThreatStream API’s intelligence endpoint is the preferred source of indicators. This data will be be accessible using the alias logs-ti_anomali_latest.intelligence.

Example

An example event for intelligence looks as following:

Anomali ThreatStream via the Elastic Extension

edit

This source of indicators is deprecated. New users should instead use the API source above. This source requires additional software, the Elastic Extension, to connect Anomali ThreatStream to this integration. It’s available on the ThreatStream download page.

Please refer to the documentation included with the extension for a detailed explanation on how to configure Anomali ThreatStream to send indicators to this integration.

Indicators ingested in this way will become accessible using the alias logs-ti_anomali_latest.threatstream.
