Supported in:

Google secops SIEM

Note: This feature is covered by Pre-GA Offerings Terms of the Google Security Operations Service Specific Terms. Pre-GA features might have limited support, and changes to pre-GA features might not be compatible with other pre-GA versions.

This document explains how to ingest AWS Network Firewall logs to Google Security Operations. AWS Network Firewall is a managed service that provides protection to your VPC against malicious traffic. By sending Network Firewall logs to Google SecOps, you can improve your monitoring, analysis, and threat detection.

Before you begin

Ensure you have the following prerequisites:

• Google SecOps instance
• Privileged access to AWS

How to configure Logging for AWS Network Firewall

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console.
2. Open the Amazon VPC console.
3. In the navigation pane, select Firewalls.
4. Select the name of the firewall that you want to edit.
5. Select the Firewall details tab.
6. In the Logging section, click Edit.
7. Select the log types: Flow, Alert and TLS.

8. For each selected log type, choose S3 for the destination type.

   Note: In order to change the destination for an existing log type, you must first disable logging for the policy.
   Then, edit the policy and specify the new destination(s) for the log type.

9. Click Save.

Set up feeds

There are two different entry points to set up feeds in the Google SecOps platform:

• SIEM Settings > Feeds > Add New
• Content Hub > Content Packs > Get Started

How to set up the AWS Network Firewall feed

1. Click the Amazon Cloud Platform pack.
2. Locate the AWS Network Firewall log type.

3. Specify the values in the following fields.

   • Source Type: Amazon SQS V2
   • Queue Name: The SQS queue name to read from
   • S3 URI: The bucket URI.
     • s3://your-log-bucket-name/
       • Replace your-log-bucket-name with the actual name of your S3 bucket.

   • Source deletion options: Select the deletion option according to your ingestion preferences.

     Note: If you select the Delete transferred files or Delete transferred files and empty directories option, make sure that you granted appropriate permissions to the service account.

   • Maximum File Age: Include files modified in the last number of days. Default is 180 days.

   • SQS Queue Access Key ID: An account access key that is a 20-character alphanumeric string.

   • SQS Queue Secret Access Key: An account access key that is a 40-character alphanumeric string.

   Advanced options

   • Feed Name: A prepopulated value that identifies the feed.
   • Asset Namespace: Namespace associated with the feed.
   • Ingestion Labels: Labels applied to all events from this feed.

4. Click Create feed.

Note: The Content Hub is not available on the SIEM standalone platform. To upgrade, contact your Google SecOps representative.
