Cisco AMP

The Sumo Logic app for Cisco AMP provides security analysts with essential tools to enhance threat detection, conduct thorough investigations, and strengthen cybersecurity defenses. It offers security analysts with a powerful platform for real-time monitoring and analysis of cybersecurity incidents. Analysts can evaluate event severity, identify types of incidents, assess host activities, and analyze file types involved in breaches.

Additionally, the app highlights the top hosts, users, tactics, and techniques, helping analysts recognize trends and potential risks. With this app, they can examine detection types, review recent malicious files, investigate compromised endpoints, and monitor suspicious processes to respond swiftly to security incidents. The app's geolocation features further enhance analysis by mapping the origins of cybersecurity events and emphasizing activities from restricted areas.

info

This app includes built-in monitors. For details on creating custom monitors, refer to the Create monitors for Cisco AMP app.

Log types

This app uses Sumo Logic’s Cisco AMP Source to collect the event logs from the Cisco platform.

Collection configuration and app installation

Depending on the set up collection method, you can configure and install the app in three ways:

• Create a new collector and install the app. Create a new Sumo Logic Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C) source under a new Sumo Logic Collector and later install the app; Or
• Use an existing collector and install the app. Create a new Sumo Logic Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C) source under an existing Sumo Logic Collector and later install the app; Or
• Use existing source and install the app. Use your existing configured Sumo Logic Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C) source and install the app.

info

Use the Cloud-to-Cloud Integration for Cisco AMP Source to create the source and use the same source category while installing the app. By following these steps, you can ensure that your Cisco AMP app is properly integrated and configured to collect and analyze your Cisco AMP data.

Create a new collector and install the app

To set up collection and install the app, do the following:

1. Select App Catalog.
2. In the 🔎 Search Apps field, run a search for your desired app, then select it.
3. Click Install App.
   note

   Sometimes this button says Add Integration.

4. In the Set Up Collection section of your respective app, select Create a new Collector.
   1. Collector Name. Enter a Name to display for the Source in the Sumo Logic web application. The description is optional.
   2. Timezone. Set the default time zone when it is not extracted from the log timestamp. Time zone settings on Sources override a Collector time zone setting.
   3. (Optional) Metadata. Click the +Add Metadata link to add custom log Metadata Fields. Define the fields you want to associate, each metadata field needs a name (key) and value.
      • A green circle with a check mark is shown when the field exists and is enabled in the Fields table schema.
      • An orange triangle with an exclamation point is shown when the field doesn't exist, or is disabled, in the Fields table schema. In this case, an option to automatically add or enable the nonexistent fields to the Fields table schema is provided. If a field is sent to Sumo that does not exist in the Fields schema or is disabled it is ignored, known as dropped.
   4. Click Next.
5. Use the new Cloud-to-Cloud Integration to configure the source.
6. In the Configure section of your respective app, complete the following fields.
   1. Key. Select either of these options for the data source.

Use an existing source and install the app

To skip collection and only install the app, do the following:

1. Select App Catalog.
2. In the 🔎 Search Apps field, run a search for your desired app, then select it.
3. Click Install App.
   note

   Sometimes this button says Add Integration.

4. In the Set Up Collection section of your respective app, select Skip this step and use existing source and click Next.
5. In the Configure section of your respective app, complete the following fields.
   1. Key. Select either of these options for the data source.
      • Choose Source Category and select a source category from the list for Default Value.
      • Choose Custom, and enter a custom metadata field. Insert its value in Default Value.
6. Click Next. You will be redirected to the Preview & Done section.

Post-installation

Viewing the Cisco AMP dashboards

All dashboards have a set of filters that you can apply to the entire dashboard. Use these filters to drill down and examine the data to a granular level.

• You can change the time range for a dashboard or panel by selecting a predefined interval from a drop-down list, choosing a recently used time range, or specifying custom dates and times. Learn more.
• You can use template variables to drill down and examine the data on a granular level. For more information, see Filtering Dashboards with Template Variables.
• Most Next-Gen apps allow you to provide the scope at the installation time and are comprised of a key (_sourceCategory by default) and a default value for this key. Based on your input, the app dashboards will be parameterized with a dashboard variable, allowing you to change the dataset queried by all panels. This eliminates the need to create multiple copies of the same dashboard with different queries.

Overview

The Cisco AMP - Overview dashboard is a comprehensive tool that provides security analysts with a high-level summary of key cybersecurity metrics. It tracks total security events, newly detected threats, and recent endpoint activities, offering real-time visibility into the organization's threat landscape. By categorizing threats according to severity levels and types, the dashboard helps analysts quickly identify and prioritize response actions. It also highlights key information on top threat actors and prevalent attack techniques, enhancing threat intelligence and supporting robust incident response strategies. Continuous monitoring of threat trends and endpoint activities empowers analysts to proactively mitigate risks, ensuring a resilient cybersecurity defense posture and effective threat management.
