CrowdStrike Context Tables

tile-crowdstrike.png

The CrowdStrike option is designed to streamline the process of creating a new CrowdStrike device context table. When a CrowdStrike context table is onboarded, it processes device attributes from a CrowdStrike source. These attributes can be mapped to Exabeam target attributes.

By default, CrowdStrike tables map a set of specific device attributes that are compliant with the Exabeam common information model. This model defines standardized device objects for security content across Exabeam products.

Tip

Only one CrowdStrike context table can be created per Exabeam subscription. The name of the CrowdStrike context table is fixed and cannot be changed because it supports the following downstream enrichment rules:

  • CrowdStrike asset ID to Source Host Lookup

  • CrowdStrikeNetwork Connection Assets in

  • CrowdStrikeNetwork Connection Assets Out

  • CrowdStrike asset ID to User Lookup

The CrowdStrike device option is available on the Context Library tab. If you want the CrowdStrike table to populate automatically with device data from a CrowdStrike source, you must onboard the CrowdStrike context table in one of the following ways:

  • Via the Exabeam Ingester for CrowdStrike – You can use the ingester add-on license to ingest the data directly from your CrowdStrike source. Make sure that you have both the New-Scale Analytics Exabeam license and the Ingester for CrowdStrike add-on. Data will be ingested directly from your CrowdStrike source and will be available for processing in a Context Management table. For more information about add-on licenses, see Add Ons in the Exabeam Security Operations Platform Guide.

  • Via Cloud Collector – You can create a CrowdStrike Context cloud collector that will ingest the data from your CrowdStrike source and make it available for processing in a Context Management table. For information about creating the cloud collector, see CrowdStrike Context Cloud Collector in the Cloud Collectors Administration Guide.

    Note

    If you want to use the cloud collector option to ingest CrowdStrike data, the collector must be created before the context table. If you previously onboarded a CrowdStrike context table and you want to integrate with the cloud collector, you must delete the context table and recreate it after the CrowdStrike cloud collector is created and running.

If you do not want the CrowdStrike table to populate automatically when you create it in the Context Management service, you can populate it with data manually or via CSV file.
