  1. Before you configure the S2W Threat Intelligence Cloud Collector, complete the prerequisites.

  2. Log in to the New-Scale Security Operations Platform with your registered credentials as an administrator.

  4. Click New Collector.

  5. Click S2W Threat Intelligence.

  6. Enter the following information for the cloud collector.

    • NAME – Specify a name for the S2W Threat Intelligence Cloud Collector.

    • COLLECTION DISCOVERY TYPE – The Manual method is selected by default to identify the available collections.

    • API ROOT URL – The API ROOT URL is auto-generated.

    • AUTHENTICATION TYPE – The Basic authentication method is used during Discovery and Collection phases.

    • USERNAME – For the Basic authentication type, enter an authentication username.

    • PASSWORD – Enter an authentication password.

    • COLLECTION – Enter an identifier for the specific collection on the TAXII server from which the collector will ingest data.

      Note

      Early Access

      When the cloud collector has been created, you cannot currently return to use the Retrieve Collections List drop down menu to choose another collection.

    • INDICATOR TYPE – Select the type threat indicators you want to collect. Options include Domain or IP.

    • MAXIMUM AGE IN DAYS – Set a maximum age in days for the threat intelligence data. Avoid maintaining threat indicators for too long because aging data can be inaccurate and result in false positives.

    • AUTOMATICALLY CREATE A CONTEXT TABLE – Toggle this option on if you want to automatically generate a corresponding context table in the Context Management application. The context table will have the same name as the cloud collector. You can only connect one context table to one collector.

  7. (Optional) SITE – Select an existing site or to create a new site with a unique ID, click manage your sites. Adding a site name helps you to ensure efficient management of environments with overlapping IP addresses.

    By entering a site name, you associate the logs with a specific independent site. A sitename metadata field is automatically added to all the events that are going to be ingested via this collector. For more information about Site Management, see Define a Unique Site Name.

  8. (Optional) TIMEZONE – Select a time zone applicable to you for accurate detections and event monitoring.

    By entering a time zone, you override the default log time zone. A timezone metadata field is automatically added to all events ingested through this collector.
