Manage threat collections
ExtraHop Reveal(x) includes curated threat collections that identify suspicious hostnames, IP addresses, and URIs in charts and tables throughout the system. You must enable these threat collections before threat intelligence is applied to your network activity. In addition, you can upload threat collections from free or commercial sources as a custom threat collection.
Before you begin
Learn about threat intelligence.Here are some important considerations about adding threat collections:
- ExtraHop currently supports STIX versions 1.0 - 1.2.
- The maximum number of observables that a threat collection can contain depends on your platform and license. Contact your ExtraHop representative for more information.
Enable ExtraHop-curated threat collections
Enable the ExtraHop threat collection to display suspicious hostnames, IP addresses, and URIs in system charts and records.
- Log in to the ExtraHop system through https://<extrahop-hostname-or-IP-address>.
-
Click the System Settings icon
and then click Threat Intelligence.
- In the ExtraHop Threat Intelligence table, select the Enabled checkbox in the Status column
Upload a threat collection
Upload threat collections from free and commercial sources to identify suspicious hosts, IP addresses, and URIs in system charts and records. Because threat intelligence data is updated frequently (sometimes daily), you might need to update a threat collection with the latest data. When you update a threat collection with new data, the collection is deleted and replaced, and not appended to an existing collection.
Tip: | Upload STIX files through the REST API. |
Custom threat collections must be formatted in Structured Threat Information eXpression (STIX) as TAR.GZ files. Reveal(x) currently supports STIX version 1.0 - 1.2.
- Log in to the ExtraHop system through https://<extrahop-hostname-or-IP-address>.
-
Click the System Settings icon
and then click Threat Intelligence.
- Click Manage custom collections.
- Click Upload New Collection.
- In the Collection ID field, type a unique collection ID. The ID can only contain alphanumeric characters and spaces are not allowed.
- Click Choose file and select a .tgz file that contains a STIX file.
