How To Enhance IBM QRadar XDR with Snare

Snare’s team provides a hands-on demonstration on how to deploy Snare to address critical use cases that extend and compliment QRadar XDR:

  • File Integrity Monitoring
  • File Activity Monitoring
  • Registry Integrity Monitoring
  • Registry Activity Monitoring
  • USB Auditing

Snare Agents

Snare is the global standard for feature-rich, reliable, lightweight agents. Rock solid log collection is both a compliance and security imperative.

When companies across the world want the best, they choose Snare.

“I tend to use Snare when customers have a lot of end points, 1,000 or more though particularly over 10K windows end points and they know they want to monitor each and every one of them. I know Snare will report in every time, all the time, even in large scale environments. Snare is well documented and easy to install. Snare also does encryption from the agent to the QRadar host, which is very important for most organizations, though in particular federal customers.”

How Snare Supports QRadar XDR Capabilities

File Integrity Monitoring (FIM)
Many regulations require the addition of a checksum to detecting file changes, and file permission changes, such as PCI DSS that require the change detection tools be run at least weekly.

Registry Integrity Monitoring (RIM)
Similar to FIM, performing a checksum and tracking the permission changes on the registry is important for identifying changes to key parts of the windows configuration and applications.

Database Activity Monitoring
Effectively monitor MS SQL activity within a single database or an entire instance that covers multiple databases.

File Activity Monitoring (FAM)
Find out who is doing what to your files and when. Who opens, reads, deletes them, and are they supposed to? A critical component to most compliance policies such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, FISMA, ISO27001, NIST, etc.

Registry Activity Monitoring (RAM)
Most applications maintain their configuration in the registry on Windows platforms. Being able to detect unauthorized changes to an application from changing key registry values is an important forensic tool in determining if the change resulted in unauthorized application activity.

Enterprise Grade
Heartbeats, self-audit, audit policy, data enrichment, data masking, and EPS controls. Windows Agents Veracode Verified. No Java or .NET required.

Veracode Verified

USB Drives
Tracking removable media and its usage on systems is important for identifying potential data exfiltration and potential sources of malware and other malicious activity. It is important to track the device activity and if the media was something like a thumb drive or Rubber Ducky device that can be used to steal data or write malware/exploit at 3,000 characters a second and then execute it on the system as the user that is logged-in on the system.

Multi Destination
Unlimited destinations for logs being sent with different ports, protocols, and formats for each destination. Get the right data, to the right people, at the right time.

24/7/365 Support
Around-the-clock, regionalized support.

Database Activity Monitoring (DAM)

Snare’s Database Activity Monitoring (DAM) helps identify and report on anomalous database activity behavior, with minimal impact on user operations and productivity. Snare’s specialized Microsoft SQL (MS SQL) agent allows customers to effectively monitor SQL activity within a single database or an entire instance that covers multiple databases. Specific settings can be used to collect information on a specific database, tables with sensitive data, or specific commands run in the database. This reduces the noise of general monitoring of all user activity on the SQL environment.

The Snare MS SQL agent works on all current versions of SQL server on Windows platforms, including complex enterprise environments.

  • Let security monitor the DBA to identify and alert on insider threats and/or external threat actors
  • Bring SQL into scope by focusing on intelligence vs all-or-nothing SQL logging options
  • Mask sensitive data like PCI and other PII

Reduce Noise & Spend Time on Intelligence

Noise can diminish the investment in your cybersecurity platform by obscuring the threat and masking the intruder. Snare ensures that the right data gets to the right place at the right time, so customers spend more time on intelligence and less time on sifting through a noisy infrastructure, reducing Mean Time to Detection (MTTD).

  • Snare can truncate the Windows verbose help text, getting rid of useless noise
  • Snare can set your audit policy to only generate the events you need
  • Snare reduces the hardware and network infrastructure needed to scale for enterprises
  • Snare, for example, can direct the needed date to your IBM QRadar SIEM, while concurrently storing all events locally for forensics
