CrowdStrike Spotlight

thumbnail icon

The Sumo Logic app for CrowdStrike Spotlight offers real-time visibility into vulnerabilities across your organization's assets to the security teams. By integrating with CrowdStrike's powerful endpoint protection platform, the app helps security analysts monitor, detect, and prioritize vulnerabilities based on severity, operating system, internet exposure, and remediation status.

This app provides enhanced threat intelligence through geolocation mapping of vulnerabilities, quick identification of top affected hosts, and insights into asset criticality. The app also tracks vulnerability remediation efforts, providing a clear view of progress and unresolved issues. With customizable dashboards and detailed logs, security teams can streamline their vulnerability management, ensuring they address critical threats promptly and minimize exposure to attacks. This integration ultimately strengthens an organization's overall security posture by enabling faster, data-driven decision-making in response to emerging vulnerabilities.

info

This app includes built-in monitors. For details on creating custom monitors, refer to Create monitors for CrowdStrike Spotlight app.

Log types

This app uses Sumo Logic’s CrowdStrike Spotlight Source to collect Vulnerability Logs from CrowdStrike Spotlight platform.

Set up collection

To set up the CrowdStrike Spotlight Source for the CrowdStrike Spotlight app, follow the instructions provided. These instructions will guide you through the process of creating a source using the CrowdStrike Spotlight Source category, which you will need to use when installing the app. By following these steps, you can ensure that your CrowdStrike Spotlight app is properly integrated and configured to collect and analyze your CrowdStrike Spotlight data.

Installing the CrowdStrike Spotlight app​

To 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. Click Next in the Setup Data section.
  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

Once your app is installed, it will appear in your Installed Apps folder, and dashboard panels will start to fill automatically.

Each panel slowly fills with data matching the time range query and received since the panel was created. Results will not immediately be available, but will update with full graphs and charts over time.

Viewing CrowdStrike Spotlight 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 CrowdStrike Spotlight - Overview dashboard provides security analysts with a comprehensive view of vulnerabilities across the organization's assets. Key panels display active vulnerabilities, closed vulnerabilities, and affected hosts, allowing for quick identification of critical security issues.

The dashboard categorizes vulnerabilities by severity (Critical, High, Medium, and Low), operating system type (Windows and Linux), and internet exposure, helping analysts prioritize threats based on risk factors. Geolocation data highlights the location of the most severe vulnerabilities aiding in threat localization. The panel showing vulnerabilities by remediation level tracks the organization's progress in resolving these issues.

Analysts can also monitor top affected hosts, asset criticality, and vulnerabilities over time to spot trends and potential areas of concern. Additional detailed views provide information on vulnerability remediation actions, pending patches, and asset details, helping teams focus on closing security gaps promptly and efficiently.

    tip

    Using app version in the folder name will be helpful to determine the versioning for future updates.

  9. Click Create. Once the folder is created, click on Save.

CrowdStrike Spotlight monitors

NameDescriptionTrigger Type (Critical / Warning / MissingData)Alert Condition
Critical Vulnerabilities DetectedThis alert is triggered when critical security vulnerabilities are identified in your systems. These vulnerabilities are classified as high-risk and could be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access or cause significant damage. Immediate remediation is advised.CriticalCount > 0
Unpatched VulnerabilitiesThis alert signals the presence of known vulnerabilities that remain unpatched. These unpatched vulnerabilities could potentially be leveraged by attackers and should be addressed through prompt patching or other mitigation strategies.CriticalCount > 1
Publicly Exposed Vulnerable AssetsThis alert is triggered when assets with known vulnerabilities are exposed to the public internet. These publicly exposed assets are more vulnerable to exploitation, posing a significant risk if left unaddressed.CriticalCount > 0
Exploit Status ChangeThis alert notifies you when there is a change in the exploitability status of a known vulnerability. A status change indicates that a vulnerability has either become more or less susceptible to exploitation, which may require immediate action depending on the new status.CriticalCount > 5
Vulnerabilities Detected from Risky LocationsThis alert is activated when vulnerabilities are detected from high-risk geographical locations or IP addresses. This could indicate potential malicious activity, as risky locations often correlate with areas known for cybercrime.CriticalCount > 0

Upgrading the CrowdStrike Spotlight app (Optional)

To update the app, do the following:

  1. Select App Catalog.
  2. In the Search Apps field, search for and then select your app.
    Optionally, you can identify apps that can be upgraded in the Upgrade available section.
  3. To upgrade the app, select Upgrade from the Manage dropdown.
    1. If the upgrade does not have any configuration or property changes, you will be redirected to the Preview & Done section.
