Integrate RevealX 360 with Splunk Enterprise Security SIEM

This integration enables the Splunk Enterprise Security SIEM to export detection data from the ExtraHop system through detection notification rules. You can view exported data in the SIEM to gain insight into security threats in your environment and to accelerate response times.

To configure this integration, you will provide information to establish a connection between the SIEM and the ExtraHop system, and you will create detection notification rules that will send webhook data to the SIEM. Integrating the ExtraHop system with Splunk Enterprise Security SIEM is supported on both RevealX 360 and RevealX Enterprise.

After the connection is established and notification rules are configured, you can Install the ExtraHop RevealX App for Splunk on your Splunk SIEM. The app provides a dashboard of detection data and correlation rules that generate detection alerts in Splunk.

Before you begin

You must meet the following system requirements:

  • ExtraHop RevealX 360
    • Your user account must have System Administration privileges.
    • Your user account must have NDR module access to create security detection notification rules.
    • Your user account must have NPM module access to create performance detection notification rules.
    • Your RevealX system must be connected to an ExtraHop sensor with firmware version 9.8 or later.
    • Your RevealX system must be connected to ExtraHop Cloud Services.
  • Splunk SIEM
  1. Log in to RevealX 360.
  2. Click the System Settings icon and then click Integrations.
  3. Click the Splunk Enterprise Security SIEM tile.
  4. Complete the following steps to configure the connection between the SIEM and the ExtraHop system:
    1. In the Ingest Host field, type the URL or hostname of the SIEM server that will receive webhook data.
    2. In the Ingest Port field, type the port number that will receive webhook data.
    3. In the Index field, type the name of the index that will store the webhook data.
    4. In the HEC Token field, type the token that will authenticate the connection to the ingest host.
  5. Select one of the following connection options:
    Option Description
    Direct Connection Select this option to configure a direct connection from this RevealX 360 console to the provided URL.
    Proxy through a connected sensor Select this option if your SIEM cannot support a direct connection from this RevealX 360 console due to firewalls or other security controls.
    1. From the drop-down menu, select a connected sensor to act as the proxy.
    2. (Optional): Select Connect through the global proxy server configured for the selected sensor to send data through a global proxy. (Only available if the selected sensor is running RevealX Enterprise.
  6. Click Send Test Event to establish a connection between the ExtraHop system and the SIEM server and to send a test message to the server.
    A message is displayed that indicates whether the connection succeeded or failed. If the test fails, edit the configuration and test the connection again.
  7. (Optional): Select Skip server certificate verification to bypass verification of the SIEM server certificate.
  8. Click Save.
  9. Click Add Notification Rule.
    The Create Notification Rule window opens in a new tab and the following fields are set to default values.
    • The Name field is set to the name of the SIEM.
    • The Event Type field is set to Security Detection.
    • The Target field is set to the SIEM integration.
  10. In the Description field, add information about the notification rule.
  11. In the Criteria section, click Add Criteria to specify criteria that will generate a notification.
    • Recommended for Triage
    • Minimum Risk Score
    • Type
    • Category
    • MITRE Technique (NDR only)
    • Offender
    • Victim
    • Device Role
    • Participant
    • Site
    The criteria options match the filtering options on the Detections page.
  12. Under Payload Options, select if you want to send the default payload or type in a custom JSON payload.
    • Default payload

      Populate the webhook payload with a core set of detection fields.

      From the Add Payload Fields drop-down menu, you can click additional fields that you want to include in the payload.

    • Custom payload

      Populate the webhook payload with custom JSON.

      You can edit the suggested custom payload in the Edit Payload window.

  13. Click Test Connection.
    A message titled Test Notification will be sent to confirm the connection.
  14. In the Options section, the Enable notification rule checkbox is enabled by default. Deselect the checkbox to disable the notification rule.
  15. Click Save.

Next steps

  • Navigate back to the integration configuration page to check that your rule has been created and added to the table.

  • Click Edit to modify or delete a rule.
  • Install the ExtraHop RevealX App for Splunk to view a detections dashboard and alerts.

Install the ExtraHop RevealX App for Splunk

The ExtraHop RevealX App for Splunk receives ExtraHop RevealX detection data from the Splunk event collector to build a detection dashboard and to generate detection event alerts in Splunk based on correlation rules.

  1. Download the ExtraHop RevealX App for Splunk from Splunkbase.
  2. Log in to your Splunk SIEM.
  3. From the Apps drop-down list, click Manage Apps .
  4. From the upper right corner, click Install the app from file.
  5. Click Choose File, and then select the downloaded app.
  6. Click Upload and follow the prompts.
  7. From the Apps drop-down list, click ExtraHop RevealX App for Splunk to open the app in your Splunk SIEM.
    The ExtraHop Detections Overview dashboard is displayed by default and contains the following charts:
    Chart Description
    Recommended Detections Displays the total number of recommended detections generated during the selected time period.
    Total Detections Displays the number of detections generated during the selected time period.
    Maximum Risk Score Displays the highest risk score associated with detections generated during the selected time period.
    Top Recommended Detections Displays the top 10 recommended detections generated during the selected time period and the number of times each detection occurred.
    Top Detection Categories Displays the top 10 detection categories associated with detections generated during the selected time period and the percentage and number of detections for each category.
    Top MITRE Techniques Displays the top 10 MITRE techniques associated with detections generated during the selected time period and the number of detections for each technique.
    Top Sources Displays the top 10 source hosts associated with detections generated during the selected time period and the number of detections for each source.
