README

What is the Respond Analyst/Mandiant Defense Engine?

Disclaimer: Respond Software was recently acquired by FireEye and has rebranded from the Respond Analyst to the Mandiant Defense Engine. These terms refer to the same product. Most of this integration was written prior to rebranding, and primarily includes references to Respond. This will be updated in the future, at which point this disclaimer will be removed.

Mandiant Defense is the cybersecurity investigation automation solution that connects the dots across disparate cybersecurity data to find real incidents fast. The Mandiant Defense engine is built to accelerate investigations for security operations teams in defense agencies, government bodies, universities, large enterprises, and leading managed service providers to get investigation power at machine speed. Mandiant Defense works with the broadest range of vendors, sensors, threat intelligence and data repositories in the industry to improve detection and response while raising security analyst productivity.

What does this pack do?

This pack provides a set of commands which can be executed against an instance of the Respond Analyst. The commands allow users to retrieve information from Respond and modify incidents from within XSOAR. Additionally, this integration supports bi-directional mirroring (for XSOAR v6 and above) of

  • incident closure status
  • incident assignee
  • incident feedback and notes
  • incident title
  • incident description

When fetch incidents is enabled, the pack will pull all open incidents from Respond into XSOAR. Each incident in XSOAR will follow the naming convention <Respond Tenant Id>:<Respond Incident Id>

It is worth noting that this pack does not pull in all of the data on each incident in Respond, rather a subset deemed to be most critical and helpful based on customer feedback. There is a link to the Respond incident provided on every corresponding XSOAR incident in case a user needs to retrieve additional information.

Use the Mandiant Automated Defense integration to fetch and update incidents from Mandiant Automated Defense. Mandiant Automated Defense fetches open incidents and updates them every minute. Changes made within XSOAR are reflected in Mandiant Automated Defense platform with bi-directional mirroring capabilities enabled.

Incident Mirroring

You can enable incident mirroring between Cortex XSOAR incidents and Mandiant Automated Defense (Formerly Respond Software) corresponding events (available from Cortex XSOAR version 6.0.0).
To set up the mirroring:

  1. Enable Fetching incidents in your instance configuration.
  2. In the Mirroring Direction integration parameter, select in which direction the incidents should be mirrored:

    Option Description
    None Turns off incident mirroring.
    Incoming Any changes in Mandiant Automated Defense (Formerly Respond Software) events (mirroring incoming fields) will be reflected in Cortex XSOAR incidents.
    Outgoing Any changes in Cortex XSOAR incidents will be reflected in Mandiant Automated Defense (Formerly Respond Software) events (outgoing mirrored fields).
    Both  

Newly fetched incidents will be mirrored in the chosen direction. However, this selection does not affect existing incidents.
Important Note: To ensure the mirroring works as expected, mappers are required, both for incoming and outgoing, to map the expected fields in Cortex XSOAR and Mandiant Automated Defense (Formerly Respond Software).

  • mirror_direction — Incident Mirroring Direction
  • base_url — Base Url (required)
  • insecure — Trust any certificate (not secure)
