Overview
There are three types of Content Lists that differ both in the method of adding content and in intended use.
Type | Method of Adding Content | Intended Use |
Static | Add content items manually one by one from the SOC Prime Threat Detection Marketplace. Curating a List of this type, you can also remove content items. Thus, Static Lists contain items that you specifically included. | To automate the deployment of manually curated content.
|
Dynamic | Add and continuously update content items automatically based on defined criteria. Currently, Dynamic Lists can include up to 500 content items to prevent overloading your security technology. You can't remove a specific item from a Dynamic List. | To automate the management of continuously updated content items matching the selected criteria. |
Inventory | Add content items manually one by one from the Inventory page. Added detections can be edited without modifying the original content items on the Inventory page and then deployed to another SIEM instance using separate jobs. Lists of this type have “Inventory” added in parentheses after the name to differentiate them. Curating an Inventory List, you can also remove content items. | To copy content items that are already being streamed to a SIEM instance, and then edit the copied items and deploy them to a different Data Plane without modifying the original detections. |
To learn more about using Lists for automation, see here.
On the Lists page, you can see Content Lists that are available to you.
Tab | Description |
Global | Lists created by the SOC Prime Team and shared with the companies. Users without Admin privileges can only view these Lists, copy them, or use them in Jobs. |
My | Lists created by you. Other people from your company can view them by default or edit them if the Allow other users from my company to edit this list checkbox is set. |
Company | Lists created by the users from your company (including the Lists created by you). |
Here you can see the following information about Content Lists:
Name | Description |
Type |
|
List Name | Name defined by the List author |
Author | Company or user who created the Content List |
Data Plane | What Data Planes are set in the Job that deploys the List |
Job | What Jobs deploy the List |
Rule Count | On the My and Company tabs: The number of content items within the list, which is updated on the fly according to the corresponding list changes. On the Global tab: The maximum number of content items that can match filter conditions set for the Content List. The actual amount of content for Global Lists depends on the current subscription plan and the company-wide content availability.
For Lists with automatic unlocking of Premium Sigma rules enabled, this column includes the Auto Unlock label. The first number above the label indicates how many rules from the List are available to your team. The second shows the total number of rules in the List. Hover over the numbers to see the legend and the number of Premium rules that can be unlocked. |
Last Updated | Date of the latest update to the Content List |
Hover over a List and click on it to see the content it includes.
All content included in the selected List is displayed. If you click a content item, its page in the Threat Detection Marketplace is opened.
For Dynamic Lists, the Rule column shows the rule's availability status:
Available: the rule is available to your team.
Premium: the rule needs to be unlocked for your team to use it. You can unlock the rule manually by opening the code tab on its page or automatically by setting a corresponding checkbox in the List settings.
List Settings
Lists of all types have the following settings:
Setting | Description |
Content List Name
(Required) | Name defined by the List author |
Automatically unlock Premium Sigma rules using your team's balance when Jobs deploy content (only for Dynamic Lists)
(Optional) | Set this checkbox to allow automatic unlocking of Premium Sigma rules included in the List. Unlocking takes place right before the rules from the List are deployed via a CCM Job or downloaded via API.
A Dynamic List can include up to 500 rules. If you configure inclusion criteria that return more than 500 rules, only the most recently updated 500 rules are included. Accordingly, automatic unlocking will be applied only to the locked Premium rules that are included in the most recently updated 500 rules.
Users with the View Only permission level cannot set this checkbox. Note that a List with Auto Unlock enabled can be deployed via a CCM Job or downloaded via API by a user with the View Only permission level.
Please, use automatic unlocking of Premium Sigma rules with caution since this may result in heavy usage of your team's Premium Sigma rule balance. |
Allow other users from my company to edit this list
(Optional) | Set this checkbox to allow your teammates to edit the List |

How To
Here you can find instructions on how to work with Content Lists:
Create Content List
To create a content list:
Click the Create List button in the upper right-hand corner of the Lists page.
Specify the list details that depend on the list type (“static”, “dynamic”, or “inventory”). See List Settings to find out more about particular fields.
Click the Save Changes button to add the list.
To prevent the platform overload when deploying content via the Automation module (previously called Continuous Content Management), Dynamic Lists can contain no more than 500 items of content. The information about content limit is visible on the Create Content List pop-up when selecting the Dynamic list type.
Edit Content List
You can edit all Static, Dynamic, and Inventory Lists (except for Global ones):
Open the editing modal in one of the following ways:
Click the More (...) button and select Edit List in the upper right-hand corner of the page with the List you want to update.
Update the list details in the corresponding fields. See List Settings to find out more about particular fields.
Click the Save Changes button.
You can also edit the current list by clicking Edit in the List Settings section on the right-hand side of a specific list page.
Copy Content List
Copying content lists allows creating a new list based on the already existing one to streamline content management. To make a copy of the selected list:
Open the copying modal in one of the following ways:
Click the More (...) button and select Copy List in the upper right-hand corner of the page with the List you want to update.
Update the list details in the corresponding fields, which you want to make different from the original list. Note that the Type field is not editable since the list type may only be defined during the original list creation.
Click the Save Changes button.
After saving, the list copy will be added to the Lists page with the word "copy' in the name.
