Content Quality Improvement
With this release, we've enhanced the quality of Sigma rule translations into the following formats.
QRadar
We've improved the handling of single and double quotes in Sigma rules when translating into this platform's format.
Elastic Query
We've improved the parsing of fields with modifiers in the detection component and their processing for translations with the default config. This ensures that values with non-alphanumeric characters are handled in the correct way taking into account the type of the field in the translation.
Environments Renaming
We've renamed Environments to Data Planes to highlight how they fit in the concept of Zero Trust Architecture.
Platform Settings Menu
We've moved Data Planes (ex-Environments), Custom Field Mapping, and Search Profiles to a new menu called Platform Settings. This is part of our effort to improve navigation and group all settings of the SOC Prime Platform in one place.
You can find Platform Settings under the Account icon.
After opening Platform Settings, you can navigate to the desired section on the left.
Temporarily, Data Planes (ex-Environments), Custom Field Mapping, and Search Profiles are still available via the Automate menu, just like before. Yet, they already have updated URLs, so if you've bookmarked them, please update your bookmarks.
In addition, to make the Account icon menu cleaner, we've combined all Account Settings into one menu item.
After clicking it, you can select the desired settings section on the left, just like before.
Page Redesign
We've redesigned the Data Planes (ex-Environments), Custom Field Mapping, and Search Profiles pages, making them more consistent and adding a search bar.
Also, we've revamped the context action menu:
Data Planes
Use icons on the right to check the connection to the integrated Data Plane, edit the integration settings, or delete it.
Uncoder AI
Autocomplete
We've improved the options suggested in autocomplete. Additionally, MITRE ATT&CK® tactics, techniques, sub-techniques, tools, and actors are suggested only in the tags component of a Sigma rule.
IP Parsing
We've improved the parsing of IPs as IOCs. Now, IPs with octets greater than 255 are not recognized as valid.
Deprecating Some Content Types
To better focus our efforts on the development and enhancement of Sigma rules, we've deprecated and removed some content types that have not been relevant for most users.
The following types of content have been removed from the UI and are no longer accessible:
YARA Rules
Snort Rules
Red tests
Config
Data Enricher
Playbook
This means that as of now the following content types are available on the SOC Prime Platform:
Content Pack
Alert
Query
Premium App
Accordingly, we no longer accept deprecated types of content through the Threat Bounty Portal.
Uncoder CTI
We've updated the placeholder text in the input panel that informs the user that the SOC Prime Platform does not store their input.
Sigma Rules Bot for Threat Bounty
Tag Parsing
We've removed the functionality of parsing MITRE ATT&CK® tags from the Bot. Now, the parsing is done on the SOC Prime Platform side to centralize the process.
Slack Restriction on File Uploading
Some Sigma rules can contain strings that Slack considers to be indicators of a virus or other malware. Such files can’t be uploaded to Slack.
In this case, the Sigma rule is still submitted for review, but instead of the file with the Sigma code that can't be uploaded, we show a message explaining the situation.
Key Bug Fixes & Improvements
With this release, we’ve made the following key bug fixes and improvements to enhance the user experience with the SOC Prime Platform:
Fixed a bug in Detection Engineering where the functionality of selecting a sorting option or setting a filter in some cases did not work
Fixed a bug on the Dashboard page where drilling down to details in some cases did not work correctly
Made error messages in Uncoder AI more informative for reverse translations from Splunk to Carbon Black
Fixed a bug in Uncoder AI where the counter of the parsed IOCs in some cases could show a doubled number
