The collaborative intelligence standard powering intelligence and information exchange, sharing and modeling. Show
At misp-standard.org, we build a simple, efficient and flexible set of standards to support information exchange and data modeling in different fields, such as: AIL is a modular framework to analyse potential information leaks from unstructured data sources like pastes from Pastebin and similar services or unstructured data streams. The AIL framework is flexible and can be extended to support other functionalities to mine or process sensitive information (e.g. data leak prevention). Learn more MISP is the leading Open Source Threat Intelligence and Sharing Platform (formely known as the Malware Information Sharing Platform). The objective of MISP is to foster the sharing and exchange of structured information within the security, intelligence community and abroad. Learn more A 4-in-1 Security Incident Response Platform A scalable, open source and free Security Incident Response Platform, tightly integrated with MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform), designed to make life easier for SOCs, CSIRTs, CERTs and any information security practitioner dealing with security incidents that need to be investigated and acted upon swiftly. Learn more Threat intelligence platforms (TIP) are critical security tools that use global security data to help proactively identify, mitigate, and remediate security threats. Every day there are unique and ever-changing challenges. Whilst security experts know that the solution to keeping up with these risks is analyzing data, the challenge is how to capture high data volumes effectively and thus obtain an aggressive perspective in order to deter potential
attacks proactively. That is why security departments, especially SOC teams, depend on threat intelligence platforms (TIPs) in order to protect their organizations against cyber attacks. Threat intelligence sharing is going beyond IP addresses, hackings, and other key identifiers, includes the essential contexts around threat behavior, including indicators of compromise (IoC), indicators of attack
(IoA), the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used and, likely, the motive and identification of an adversary. Industries need to exchange more intelligence data with business partners to help protect themselves against evolving threats and to adapt more quickly. Especially nowadays, sharing threat intelligence is critically important to foster greater collaboration and share best practices. In fact, it is very straightforward to share some simple knowledge that is genuinely
helpful and important to peer organizations while not revealing you as much as you thought. Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is a type of intelligence that is used to determine the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of the attackers as a result of analyzing the collected and enriched data that could damage the business elements at any level. CTI is the field of cybersecurity that focuses on collecting and analyzing information about current and potential attacks that threaten the security of an organization. The benefit of cyber threat intelligence is that it can prevent data leaks and especially save on financial costs. Why threat intelligence is important?To put it briefly, threat intelligence is required primarily to prevent data loss. Collecting and analyzing data can act as a precaution for possible attacks. Another important point is that data breaches can be detected. The earlier a data breach that has occurred, the less harmful impact it will have on the organization. Thirdly, with Incident Response, the information on which devices the data loss or breach is happening helps to identify the compromised systems. What’s MISP?The MISP is a threat sharing 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. It is a free and open-source software helping information sharing of threat intelligence including cybersecurity indicators. The project is developed by a team of developers from CIRCL, Belgian Defence, NATO, and NCIRC and funded by the European Union (through the Connecting Europe Facility) and the Computer Incident Response Center Luxembourg. MISP assists security teams in the collection and review of vulnerability data for identified malware threats, dynamically linking and saving data in a centralized format with the malware and its assets. The purpose of MISP is to create a platform of trust by locally storing threat information and enhancing malware detection to encourage information exchange among organizations. Where is MISP used and what are its features?MISP is used by different organizations in diverse sectors, each using threat feeds from the public, proprietary or local sources. If an instance is set up, organizations can add events to their own feeds viewable by either only organization. MISP is mostly used by cybersecurity analysts, incident analysts, security experts, and malware analysts, and SOC teams. In addition to information exchange, network intrusion detection systems, log-based intrusion detection systems by MISP can be used by SIEMs. By integrating with APIs into SIEM products, the information obtained can also be correlated with the MITER ATT&CK framework. Some of the top MISP features can be listed as follows;
How does MISP work?Events, feeds, groups, and users are included in the MISP structure. An incident is a threat entry that includes details on the threat and related IOCs. When an event is created, a user assigns it to a particular feed which acts as a centralized list of events of a certain organization and includes certain events or grouping requirements. Via a web interface or REST API, MISP consists of trusted independent users and organizational threat submissions, both ingested by the respective user base. Organizations can subscribe to feeds linked to risks in their respective sectors by entering MISP groups. Users will start ingesting API pull requests on SIEM sites, identification protocols, firewall blacklists, and so on after signing up for the feeds. In addition, organizations may contribute to the community by incorporating feeds and activities that can be shared with others. How can SOC teams use MISP more effectively?Because members of MISP run the community, there is no central authority to tell users what to do. Each member association chooses independently how much information to exchange, how to use usable MISP information, etc. SOC analysts use MISP to view how a specific campaign can be applied to various IP addresses and associated attributes because of the set of data shown by MISP. This amount of knowledge about threats gives you a richer image of a particular threat than any company itself would produce. SOC teams are fuelled by the combined force of MISP intelligence, creating a greater reaction that normally decreases the meantime to the resolution of an attack (MTTR). MISP also offers an enrichment with risks as well as threats exchange. The MISP dashboard offers information that allows users to gain insight into the threat and what it could do with their environment. For example, MISP may illustrate that the indicator seen by a member of the group in the attack campaign forms part of a series of indicators. What is the difference between MISP and a threat intelligence platform (TIP)?MISP is a centralized platform for threat analysis with many features, but unfortunately, there is no real threat intelligence available via the platform. For instance, the following features of a typical TIP aren’t available in MISP;
