Managing alerts using R-Vision IRP
After integration of KUMA and R-Vision IRP is configured, data on KUMA alerts is received in R-Vision IRP. Any change to alert settings in KUMA is reflected in R-Vision IRP. Any change in the statuses of alerts in KUMA or R-Vision IRP (except closing an alert) is also reflected in the other system.
Alert management scenarios when KUMA and R-Vision IRP are integrated:
- Forward cyberthreat data from KUMA to R-Vision IRP
Data on detected alerts is automatically forwarded from KUMA to R-Vision IRP. An incident is also created in R-Vision IRP.
The following information about a KUMA alert is forwarded to R-Vision IRP:
- ID.
- Name.
- Status.
- Date of the first event related to the alert.
- Date of the last detection related to the alert.
- User account name or email address of the security officer assigned to process the alert.
- Alert priority.
- Category of the R-Vision IRP incident corresponding to the KUMA alert.
- Hierarchical list of events related to the alert.
- List of devices (internal and external) related to the alert.
- List of users related to the alert.
- Alert change log.
- Link to the alert in KUMA.
- Investigate cyberthreats in KUMA
Initial processing of an alert is performed in KUMA. The security officer can update and change any parameters of an alert except its ID and name. Any implemented changes are reflected in the R-Vision IRP incident card.
If a cyberthreat turns out to be a false positive and its alert is closed in KUMA, its corresponding incident in R-Vision IRP is also automatically closed.
- Close incident in R-Vision IRP
After all necessary work is completed on an incident and the course of the investigation is recorded in R-Vision IRP, the incident is closed. The corresponding KUMA alert is also automatically closed.
- Open a previously closed incident
If active monitoring detects that an incident was not completely resolved or if additional information is detected, this incident is re-opened in R-Vision IRP. However, the alert remains closed in KUMA.
The security officer can use a link to navigate from an R-Vision IRP incident to the corresponding alert in KUMA and make the necessary changes to any of its parameters except the ID, name, and status of the alert. Any implemented changes are reflected in the R-Vision IRP incident card.
Further analysis is performed in R-Vision IRP. When the investigation is complete and the incident is closed again in R-Vision IRP, the status of the corresponding alert in KUMA remains closed.
- Request additional data from the source system as part of the response playbook or manually
If additional information is required from KUMA when analyzing incidents in R-Vision IRP, you can send to KUMA a search request (for example, you can request telemetry data, reputation, host info). This request is sent via REST API KUMA and the response is recorded in the R-Vision IRP incident card for further analysis and report generation.
This same sequence of actions is performed during automatic processing if it is not possible to immediately save all information on an incident during an import.
