Support – Must Know Terms CTD example flows April 17, 2020 8 Replication – The data replication from back-end to front-end and eventually the UI is: When there is a change in the MYSQL it creates call files bim.log The leecher rapped those files with CTD frame and pass the to the bridge The bridge moves the data to PSQL The UI will query the PSQL and present the data Asset creation: Net-sniffer get the data using tcpdump The data is dissected, and relevant information is gathered ( Events,Baselines ) The pre-processor verifies that the data is new and if so, it passes it to the processor The processor inserts the data into the MYSQL DB MYSQL Leecher Bridge PSQL Net-sniffer Dissector Processor MYSQL
Support – Must Know Terms CTD example flows April 17, 2020 9 Events – The data replication from back-end to front-end and eventually the UI is: Net-sniffer get the data using tcpdump The dissector creates an event The pre-processor verifies that the data is new and if so, it passes it to the processor The processor inserts the data into the MYSQL DB Alerts: The concluder queries the MYSQL for events with no alerts association The events are then added to existing alert/new alert The cap saver attached pcap file to the alert The Enricher adds relevant data Net-sniffer Dissector Processor MYSQL Concluder MYSQL Capsaver Enricher
Support – Must Know Terms CTD Architecture April 17, 2020 10 CTD Server – The CTD server is located at the site level, typically based on a core switch and digests data from the monitored network. CTD Server can be deployed at the following component architectures: CTD can work as stand alone CTD can be connected to a single or multiple EMCs CTD can have sensors and sensor light components connected to them CTD Server is built out of all available workers: Splinter Dissector NG Dissector Pre-processor Processor Concluder Capsaver Web
Support – Must Know Terms CTD Workers April 17, 2020 11 EMC – The Enterprise Management Console receives information from multiple or a single site and provides enterprise wide visibility and management capabilities. This component cannot sniff data. EMC can be deployed at the following component architectures: Multiple CTD servers can be connected to the EMC EMC is built out of the following workers: Bridge Web Notification Mailer
Support – Must Know Terms CTD Workers April 17, 2020 12 Sensor – The purpose of the sensor is to extend the monitored segments of CTD server, the sensors are without DB components so it sends the data to the site Sensor can be deployed at the following component architectures: Can only operate if connected to CTD No UI Cannot be connected to the EMC Sensor is built out of the following workers: Splinter Dissector/ Dissector_NG Snort reader
Support – Must Know Terms CTD Workers April 17, 2020 13 SensorLite – The purpose of the sensor is to extend the monitored segments of CTD server, the sensors are without DB components, so it sends the data to the site. The difference between the sensor and sensor lite is that the sensor performs dissection of the data before it passes it to CTD server while sensor lite does not dissect any data. Sensor can be deployed at the following component architectures: Can only operate if connected to CTD No UI Cannot be connected to the EMC The senso lite has no workers, it’s a remote TCPDUMP
