Study Notes

Introduction to FortiSOAR

FortiSOAR 7.3 automates investigation processes used by level 1 analysts, such as IOC reputation lookups.
Analysts can close false positive alerts or escalate incidents to level 2 or level 3 analysts depending on the threat validity.
Level 2 analysts assess incidents and can run remediation playbooks or document cases for future playbook development.

SOC Incident Handling

Level 3 analysts take charge of escalated incidents, conducting advanced manual investigations after level 1 and level 2 efforts.
If a threat is not valid, cases are documented and closed; if valid, manual remediation and potential updates to FortiSIEM rules or firewall policies are performed.
New procedures may be developed for future incidents based on the findings, and case logs document these updates.

Developing New Techniques

Protocols for creating new techniques involve identifying threats, indicators, and remediation strategies.
Risks from exploitation may be mitigated through patches, blocks, and implementing future identification methods via SIEM rules or SOAR playbooks.

Enterprise Architecture Overview

FortiSOAR operates within a typical enterprise architecture where logs from various devices are ingested through connectors.
Recommended practice is to send logs through SIEM for centralization, analytics, and reporting rather than direct connectors.
Incidents generated by FortiSIEM are unique records in FortiSOAR, allowing for remediation actions on target devices.

Licensing Options

FortiSOAR licenses include:
- Perpetual: Unlimited time license.
- Perpetual (Trial): Free but restricted trial version.
- Subscription: Limits on users and defined timeframes; renewable and adjustable user counts.
- Evaluation: Limited user count with an expiry date for testing purposes.
The license manager is accessed under the settings menu for management and configuration of licenses.
