Real Time Alerting - Smart 1 Cloud

HI there,

have been tasked to configure real time alerts on a Azure Based Cloudguard managed via Smart -1 cloud.  

Unit is licensed for both Smart Event and Compliance with the appliance running R81.20

The process is required to adhere to a security framework, the relevant item is  "real-time alerts for attempted intrusions. "

A little ambitious,  but all previous research pointed at using SmartEvent Reactions, however have just found the S1C admin guide lists smart event polices are not supported.  


I know i can configure an email alert within the treat protection policy, but my understanding is that will then not log the event. 

 

Has anyone got any advise on how i can achieve the request? 

Cheers!

Sorry I think I have used the wrong terminology.  I have a stand alone Security Gateway managed by smart -1 cloud. not the SaaS application suite the admin guide you have linked referenced.

Standalone term means gateway AND management in one appliance, but I think you mean single gateway? As only one, not cluster?

Sorry.  Yeah you are correct.  Single gateway.

Smart-1 Cloud does not support the legacy SmartEvent client, which is necessary to configure SmartEvent Reactions.
You should be able to configure the action for Track type of Mail in Global Properties:

These commands execute on the gateway itself.

Yeah I have identified info around this config.  But my understanding is, if I where to change the threat protection rule tracking option from log to mail, then the events/action from this rule while being emailed, would no longer be logged.

Setting the email option is "on top" of the logging. The event should still be logged if the Track option is "Mail".

The easiest way to achieve this is to leverage the new PlayBlocks application (under Horizon) in the Infinity Portal.

This application allows you to define triggers and actions on events that happen in your security systems. It has integrations to notify you via email, SMS and even Teams or Slack. It can also open a ticket for you in ServiceNow if you'd like (although I wouldn't recommend that for every IPS attack).

Beyond notifications, it can also take remediation actions such as blocking the IP of the attacker at the Firewall level so that they can't continue to attack you. Here's an example:

It's a relatively new offering, so if you are missing something or have additional requirements, we're eager for feedback 😉

BTW, both Smart-1 Cloud and on-premise customers can use PlayBlocks. If you are on-prem, you just need to connect to the Infinity Portal first, using the Infinity Services tab in SmartConsole (R81.10 and up).

Any idea when this will be rolled out to the Australian infinity portal?  

I don't have it available on Australia, but can see it on EU portal 

What can you tell me about licensing for this feature?  is it included in the smart-1 cloud subscription?

@jfelix you are looking at Horizon, which is a different product. The post is about Smart-1 Cloud

Hi Val, there is a post above from Tomer referencing Horizon playbooks as a possible solution

If its not there, you may want to check with your local SE person, maybe its licensing issue. I see it in North American and EU portal. My colleague and I worked on it, it is relatively new and it needs lots of improvements, for sure, but so far, it seems pretty robust.

Our current focus is on the EU and US regions, but we have plans for early next year to support PlayBlocks on AP (Australia) as well.

With regards to licensing/cost, it's free to use as long as we are in "Preview" mode. We hope to have attractive pricing for this service and will share more info as soon as it's available.
