Integrate QRadar with IOC (Attributes) from MISP - Open Source Threat Intelligence Platform

IBM QRadar Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) centrally collects and analyzes log and network flow data throughout even the most highly distributed environments to provide actionable insights into threats.

Using advanced analytics, the solution automatically sorts through millions to billions of events per day to detect anomalous and malicious activities, identify and group related events, and generate prioritized alerts to only the most critical threats.

The MISP threat sharing platform is a free and open source software helping information sharing of threat intelligence including cyber security indicators.

MISP is a threat intelligence platform for gathering, sharing, storing and correlating Indicators of Compromise of targeted attacks, threat intelligence, financial fraud information, vulnerability information or even counter-terrorism information.

Many organizations use MISP to maintain internal repository of IOCs involved in any security incident of the organization.

MISP has rich RESTful API support to integrate with any producers or consumers of threat intelligence information.

• Validate if the reference set exists
• Identify the Element Type of the reference set
• If the Reference Set - Element Type is IP, only the IPs from the MISP will be imported to Reference Set.
• Socket connection validation for QRadar and MISP
