Download or read book Cyber Resiliency with IBM QRadar and IBM Spectrum Virtualize for Public Cloud on Azure with IBM Copy Services Manager for Safeguarded Copy written by IBM and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2022-07-11 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this Blueprint publication is to highlight the early threat detection capabilities of IBM® QRadar® and to show how to proactively start a cyber-resilience workflow in response to a cyberattack or malicious user actions. The workflow uses IBM's Copy Services Manager as orchestration software to start IBM Spectrum Virtualize for Public Cloud (SV4PC) Safeguarded Copy functions. The IBM SV4PC Safeguarded Copy function creates an immutable copy of the data in an air-gapped form on the same IBM SV4PC on Azure for isolation and eventual quick recovery. This document describes the steps that are involved to enable and forward IBM SV4PC audit logs to IBM QRadar. It also describes how to create various rules to determine a threat, and configure and start a suitable response to the detected threat in IBM QRadar. This document also explains how to register a storage system and create a scheduled task by using IBM Copy Services Manager. Finally, this document also describes deploying IBM QRadar and SV4PC on Azure. A use case for protecting the MS SQL database (DB) volume that was created on IBM SV4PC is included. Upon threat detection on a database volume, Safeguarded Copy is started for IBM SV4PC volume. The Safeguarded Copy creates an immutable copy of the data. The same data volume can be recovered or restored by using IBM's Copy Services Manager.

Download or read book Cyber Resiliency with Splunk Enterprise and IBM FlashSystem Storage Safeguarded Copy with IBM Copy Services Manager written by Hemant Kantak and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2022-12-12 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this document is to highlight early threat detection by using Splunk Enterprise and proactively start a cyber resilience workflow in response to a cyberattack or malicious user action. The workflow uses IBM® Copy Services Manager (CSM) as orchestration software to invoke the IBM FlashSystem® storage Safeguarded Copy function, which creates an immutable copy of the data in an air-gapped form on the same IBM FlashSystem Storage for isolation and eventual quick recovery. This document explains the steps that are required to enable and forward IBM FlashSystem audit logs and set a Splunk forwarder configuration to forward local event logs to Splunk Enterprise. This document also describes how to create various alerts in Splunk Enterprise to determine a threat, and configure and invoke an appropriate response to the detected threat in Splunk Enterprise. This document explains the lab setup configuration steps that are involved in configuring various components like Splunk Enterprise, Splunk Enterprise config files for custom apps, IBM CSM, and IBM FlashSystem Storage. The last steps in the lab setup section demonstrate the automated Safeguarded Copy creation and validation steps. This document also describes brief steps for configuring various components and integrating them. This document demonstrates a use case for protecting a Microsoft SQL database (DB) volume that is created on IBM FlashSystem Storage. When a threat is detected on the Microsoft SQL DB volume, Safeguarded Copy starts on an IBM FlashSystem Storage volume. The Safeguarded Copy creates an immutable copy of the data, and the same data volume can be recovered or restored by using IBM CSM. This publication does not describe the installation procedures for Splunk Enterprise, Splunk Forwarder for IBM CSM, th Microsoft SQL server, or the IBM FlashSystem Storage setup. It is assumed that the reader of the book has a basic understanding of system, Windows, and DB administration; storage administration; and has access to the required software and documentation that is used in this document.
