Data Class

Server security

HSS alert synchronization

Automatically synchronizes HSS alerts generated for servers.

Alert

Automatic notification of high-risk vulnerabilities

Sends email or SMS notifications to specified recipients when vulnerabilities rated as high severity are discovered.

Vulnerability

Attack link analysis alert notification

Analyzes attack links. If HSS generates an alert for a server, the system checks the website running on the server. If the website information and alert exist, the system sends an alert notification.

Alert

Server vulnerability notification

Checks servers with EIPs bound on the resource manager page and notifies of discovered vulnerabilities.

CommonContext

HSS isolation and killing of malware

Automatically isolates and kills malware.

Alert

Mining host isolation

Isolates the server for which an alert of mining program or software was generated. The playbook also adds the server into a security group that allows no inbound or outbound traffic.

Alert

Ransomware host isolation

Isolates the server for which an alert of ransomware was generated. The playbook also adds the server into a security group that allows no inbound or outbound traffic.

Alert

Automatic security blocking of high-risk alerts

If a source IP address launched more than three attacks, triggered high-risk or critical alerts, and hit the malicious label in ThreatBook, this playbook triggers the corresponding security policies in WAF, VPC, CFW, or IAM to block the IP address.

Alert

Host Defense Alarms Are Associated With Historical Handling Information

Parent workflow. This workflow determines which type of child workflow needs to be invoked based on HSS alerts. The workflow also associates new alerts with historical alerts and adds handling details to the comment area. The following child workflows may be invoked: Host defense alarms are associated with historical handling information - Threat Modeling - Process, Host defense alarms are associated with historical handling information - Threat Modeling - Login, and Host defense alarms are associated with historical handling information - Automatic conversion to alerts.

Alert

Host defense alarms are associated with historical handling information - Threat Modeling - Process

A child workflow. This workflow associates process alerts constructed in threat modeling with historical handling details and adds them to the comment area for the alerts.

Alert

Host defense alarms are associated with historical handling information - Threat Modeling - Login

A child workflow. This workflow associates login alerts constructed in threat modeling with historical handling details and adds them to the comment area for the alerts.

Alert

Host Defense Alarms Are Associated With Historical Handling Information - Automatic conversion to alerts.

A child workflow. This workflow associates HSS alerts that are automatically converted to SecMaster alerts with historical handling details and add them to the comment area for such SecMaster alerts.

Alert

Host isolation - Malware

If suspicious malware (such as ransomware and mining) was detected on a server, a manual review is triggered. The malware details (such as the type, affected server, process command, and file path) are displayed for operation personnel to review. If the malware is confirmed, affected servers will be isolated automatically.
