Looker dashboard updates

The following changes have been made to the Looker dashboards in Google SecOps:

  • All dashboards have been moved to the ingestion_metrics_connector explore.

  • The ingestion_stats, ingestion_metric_with_ingestion_stats and ingestion_metrics explores are no longer supported.

  • The total_entry_number and total_size_bytes fields are defined in the new explore and used to query the log count and log volume for the Google SecOps Ingestion API. For more information, see the Ingestion metrics field reference for dashboards.

  • The default dashboards for Context aware detections risk and Cloud detection and response overview have been updated to use a different field for the risk score. It was rule_detections.outcomes['risk_score'] and is now rule_detections.risk_score. This change aligns the risk score in the Google SecOps dashboards to the risk score used in the Google SecOps user interface.

  • The severity field in the Rules and detections default Dashboard has been updated so that it would show the severity for both Curated Detections and custom rules.

November 25, 2024

Curated Detections has been enhanced with a new detection category, MacOS Threats. The category includes a Mandiant Intel Emerging Threats rulepack.

November 21, 2024

The Google SecOps team identified that a cloud threat detection rule pack (azure-defender-for-cloud-vm-extensions) was inadvertently made available to all customers. The licensing requirements restrict the availability of this rule pack to only Enterprise and Enterprise+ customers and this has been corrected.

This change should not remove any prior detections for customers who have enabled this rule pack and do not meet the licensing requirements but the rules themselves will now be unavailable and no new detections will generate.

Chronicle Applied Threat Intelligence helps you identify and respond to threats. When enabled, it ingests IOCs curated by Mandiant Threat Intelligence with an IC-Score greater than 80 and generates an error when a match is found. The following are some of the features of Applied Threat Intelligence.

  • Event-level enrichment: All telemetry in Chronicle is enriched with Google Threat Intelligence which is a combination of Mandiant and Virus Total, including all threat intelligence associations like campaigns and actors.

  • Sophisticated indicator matching: Curated out-of-the-box detections that deliver sophisticated indicator matching using augmented prioritization logic, noise reduction based on customer environment context, and other correlation techniques to maximize signal to noise.

  • Active breach alerting: Uses Mandiant's incident response intelligence to alert on potential active breaches delivering on our no patient 1 vision.

  • Curated behavioral detections for emerging threats: To protect against newly emerging risks and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), Applied Threat Intelligence uses real-time insights.

  • DIY detection engineering and response automation: Access to Fusion intelligence (formerly known as Mandiant Fusion) for the following.

    • Customer authoring of rules
    • Customer development of response playbooks
  • Curated views for Investigation and triage Insights: Applied Threat Intelligence provides curated views that show valuable associations between an indicator and threat actor, threat campaign, or malware, statistics about a threat observed in customer environments. These views are invaluable for all security operations workflows.

For more information about Applied Threat Intelligence, see Applied Threat Intelligence overview.

This note incorrectly states that an error is generated when an IOC match is found. See the entry for May 8, 2024 for the updated statement.

Risk Analytics

Google has introduced Risk Analytics to Chronicle. Risk Analytics looks for patterns of risk across your enterprise, assigning risk scores to all entities and activities. These scores are surfaced in the Risk Analytics dashboard which lets you better understand risk in your environment by visualizing entity risk trends. The dashboard helps you to identify unusual behavior and the potential risk that entities pose to your enterprise. You can specify watchlists of entities you suspect of having greater risk. The watchlists let you more easily monitor risk within your environment.

Risk Analytics also provides both predefined curated detections and YARA-L metric functions for authoring custom rules.

Risk Analytics is available with Enterprise and Enterprise Plus licenses, or as an add-on to a SIEM standalone license.

February 06, 2024

Chronicle requires a minimum Transport Layer Security (TLS) version of 1.2 to maintain security compliance. Ingestion routing connections that use lower TLS versions are automatically blocked. Upgrade any custom ingestion mechanisms to adhere to TLS 1.2 or higher.

When the data ingestion rate for a tenant reaches a certain threshold, Chronicle controls the rate of ingestion for new data feeds to prevent a source with a high ingestion rate from affecting the ingestion rate of another data source. The ingestion volume and tenant's usage history determine the threshold. If the rate of ingestion does not deviate greatly then there is no effect on the ingestion rate.

February 01, 2024

The following log types were added to the Chronicle feed management API to create AWS data feeds. These feeds can be used to get context on AWS resources such as EC2 instances and users in identity and access management (IAM). Each is listed by product name and log_type value, if applicable.

  • AWS EC2 Hosts (AWS_EC2_HOSTS)
  • AWS EC2 Instances (AWS_EC2_INSTANCES)
  • AWS EC2 VPCs (AWS_EC2_VPCS)
  • AWS Identity and Access Management (AWS_IAM)

To view a list of log types that Chronicle supports for third-party APIs, see Configuration by log type.

January 31, 2024

The bi-weekly release of Chronicle parsers will change to a more frequent release schedule to allow for more testing before parser changes automatically take effect in Parser Management.

Beginning on February 1, 2024, new parser updates will be released weekly as pending updates in Parser Management. Every 4 weeks beginning February 15, pending updates will automatically become active when these parser versions are promoted to default.

Any Chronicle tenants with Parser Management disabled do not use the standard Parser Management release process, so weekly parser updates will automatically take effect.

January 25, 2024

The Detection Engine added support for event variable joins on or expressions and function calls. For examples, see Event variable join requirements.

UDM Search for entity investigation

UDM Search now includes a feature that lets you investigate entities (for example, an IP address, user, or asset) in addition to the events and alerts that match the search query terms. UDM Search query conditions can include both UDM fields (for example, principal.hostname="alice") and grouped fields (for example, hostname="alice"). When a search query includes a condition that identifies a specific entity, the search results include details about that entity in addition to UDM events that match the entire search query.

It works much the same as the navigation for Chronicle Security Operations. The new navigation menu expands from the left side of the screen, replacing the 9-dot icon at the top right. It is designed to make it easier to find information and resources and to help you work more efficiently. The Chronicle homepage can be accessed by clicking the Chronicle logo at the top left of the page. Reference lists can now be found within the Search page or the Rules Editor page.

When you create dashboards, you can make use of the following enhancements to UDM Events Explore:

  • Search and navigation improvements. When you navigate or search for events in UDM Events Explore, the results appear instantly and field names are easy to identify.
  • Improvements to field names and descriptions. The field names and path are now consistent with the pattern used in Detection Engine rules and UDM search. For example, the field name Udm Events Principal Hostname now appears as UDM principal.hostname as in documentation. Also, in addition to online help, in-context descriptions are available for UDM fields. For example, deprecated fields are indicated by the suffix [D] in the field name.
  • User experience improvements in UDM Events Explore. When you use UDM Events Explore, user experience is improved by removing unused and rarely used fields. Also, you can filter based on the grouped fields.
  • Field conversion improvements. Added fields that automatically handle conversion of formats. Here are some examples:
    • Enum fields also contain human readable values. For example, the values for the UDM.network.ip_protocol enum also appear as ICMP, TCP, and UDP instead of 1, 2, and 3.
    • Timestamp fields are available in multiple date formats. Previously, timestamp fields were available only in nano and second formats.
    • Location fields are parsed accurately and can be used in maps.
  • Report improvements. Made data in reports up-to-date by using the events table in BigQuery. Also, existing reports that previously used udm_events will use the events table.

Chronicle now links to a customer-supplied Google Cloud Project to integrate more closely with Google Cloud services, such as Cloud IAM, Cloud Monitoring, and Cloud Audit Logs. Customers can now use Cloud IAM and workforce identity federation to authenticate using their existing identity provider.

Chronicle provides an onboarding and migration portal, available via Cloud Console, where new customers are able to provision and configure a new Chronicle SIEM instance, and existing customers can bind their current Chronicle SIEM instance to Google Cloud services.

For more information, see the following documentation:

Updated content to reflect the new Alert view and Alert list. The following changes have been made to Alert view:

  • New Overview and Alert History tabs. The Overview section provides a snapshot of important alert information. This is separate from the History tab to clearly differentiate between alert investigation and audit area.
  • Detection widget now has a view other alerts from this rule button to get fast access to more alerts that came from this rule. Users can pivot to other alerts from this rule.
  • Updated information on how to close an alert and change alert status.
  • Updated information on how to adjust the time range.
  • Updated information on how to apply single and multiple filters.

The following changes have been made to Alert list:

  • Expanded columns to include Risk Score and Tags. This helps users to focus on and prioritize high-risk and critical security findings.
  • Ingestion Time and Last Modified were also added to Alert List.
  • Users can now customize columns in the Alert list, add or remove columns from the table.
  • Expanded filters to include OR and AND operators to allow more complex filtering.
  • Updated information on how to refresh Alert List.

These changes are documented in Investigate an alert and View Alerts and IOCs.

May 26, 2023

Starting June 7, 2023, Chronicle will no longer use reference lists to reduce the number of alerts generated by Curated Detection rule sets. The predefined reference lists for Curated Detections will be replaced by rule exclusions. You will see the following changes:

  • Reference lists will not be available in the Cloud Threats and Windows Threats categories and will not be displayed in the settings page for these rule sets.
  • Any category-specific reference lists that are currently empty will be deleted.
  • Any category-specific reference lists that are not empty will be automatically migrated to an equivalent rule exclusion.

No action is required. Rule set behavior should not be affected because category-specific reference lists will be replaced with rule exclusions.

Going forward, we recommend using rule exclusions to tune the number of alerts returned by Curated Detections.

The end of support process is gradual, and you may see some Curated Detection rule sets in a partial migration state before the process is complete. The process should complete by June 21, 2023.

May 25, 2023

On or after July 1, 2023, the existing udm_events table in Chronicle-managed BigQuery projects will be fully replaced with a new table named events. This new table is currently available for all customers. Chronicle will handle all changes in-product for this new table. Customers issuing queries against the udm_events table through the Cloud console or through the API should fully migrate queries to the new table by July 1 to avoid interruption.

May 24, 2023

Chronicle has updated Rules Engine's YARA-L 2.0 language to support more functionality for handling arrays.

  • A new arrays.length() function has been added. This function returns the number of elements in a repeated field. For more information, see YARA-L 2.0 language syntax.

  • You can now perform array indexing on repeated fields using bracket notation. This lets you access an element of a repeated field at a specific index. For more information, see YARA-L 2.0 language syntax.

Chronicle Curated Detections has been enhanced with the following additional detection content for Cloud threats. A new rule set was added, called Cloud SQL Ransom, that detects activity associated with exfiltration or ransom of data within Cloud SQL databases.

May 23, 2023

Single event rules meeting all of the following conditions have been reclassified as multiple event rules to increase detections:

  • Includes a match section.
  • Includes one or more conditions on outcome variables in the condition section.
  • Includes a simple existence condition on exactly one event variable in the condition section.

Affected rules will be automatically reprocessed to find any missed detections over the next 5 to 6 business days.

UDM Search Pivot Table

The UDM Search Pivot Table enables you to further analyze your UDM search results, giving you the following capabilities:

  • Group search results by up to five UDM fields.
  • Perform aggregations (sum, count, count distinct, average, stddev, min, and max) on up to to five values within the UDM fields (for example, domains, users, and products).
  • Sort results of the pivot table (ascending, descending)

This feature is being enabled for global customers in a phased manner and is expected to fully roll out over the next month.

Chronicle forwarder executable for Windows is deprecated and is scheduled for shutdown on March 31, 2024. To install the Chronicle forwarder on Microsoft Windows, use Chronicle forwarder for Windows on Docker.

You can now install and configure Chronicle forwarder for Windows on Docker. This Docker installation provides better security through isolation and the container distribution mechanism can be private and separate for Google Cloud and customers. This release also includes the following updates:

  • The forwarder signing key will be rotated every 6 months for security. You must update the Chronicle forwarder for Windows on Docker image every 6 months.

  • The minimum batch size for forwarder is now increased to 200KB for better performance.

  • Data compression is now enabled by default. It reduces the network bandwidth consumption by 80%.

  • Hot config loading is now supported and applies configuration changes within 5 minutes without the need to restart the forwarder.

  • Automatic buffering handles spikes in incoming traffic by efficiently using available memory on the host system. This feature is optional.

April 21, 2023

The Chronicle forwarder for Linux has been enhanced with the following changes:

  • After you make a change to a configuration file, either <FORWARDER_NAME>.conf or <FORWARDER_NAME>_auth.conf, the change is automatically applied within 5 minutes. You no longer need to restart the container to apply the configuration changes. For information about changing configuration files, see Customize the configuration files.

  • You can now configure automatic memory buffering which is a dynamically shared buffer used by collectors on a system. You specify the target memory utilization as a percentage of system RAM. For more information, see Configure disk buffering.

  • The forwarder's minimum batch size increased to 200 KB for better performance.

  • Data compression is now enabled by default, which reduces network bandwidth consumption by 80%.

If you have not updated the Chronicle forwarder for Linux Docker image since April 1, 2023, you must update it before October 31, 2023. This ensures that the Forwarder Bundle continues to receive updates.

April 20, 2023

Chronicle enhanced the detection engine so that all rules have a value set to the $risk_score variable. With this change, rules that do not have a $risk_score variable defined in the outcome section will have one of the following default values set:

  • If the rule is configured to generate an alert, then $risk_score is set to 40.
  • If the rule is not configured to generate an alert, then $risk_score is set to 15.

This change applies to all existing rules and new rules that do not have a $risk_score variable defined. The change does not impact rules that define the $risk_score variable in the outcome section of the rule.

For more information about the $risk_score variable, see Outcome section syntax.

April 19, 2023

Chronicle released the following additional data enrichment and precomputed analytic capabilities that can provide additional context during an investigation:

  • Enriched entities with WHOIS data.
  • Enriched entities with VirusTotal relationship data.
  • Enriched events with VirusTotal file metadata.
  • Data from Google Cloud Threat Intelligence curated threat feeds.
  • Precomputed first-seen and last-seen occurrence for domains, IP addresses, and file hashes (SHA256, SHA1, MD5).
  • Precomputed first-seen occurrence for assets and users.

For more information, see the following documents:

UDM saved search

The UDM saved search options have been simplified and enhanced. From the UDM Search page, click Save to save your UDM search.

You can now specify placeholder variables in the format $<variable name> using the same format as is used for variables in YARA-L. If you add a variable to a UDM search, you must also include a prompt to help the user to understand what information they need to enter before they run the search. All variables must be populated with values prior to a search being run.

UDM Search - Grouped fields

Grouped fields are aliases for groups of related UDM fields. You can use them to query multiple UDM fields at the same time without typing each field individually. For example, you can use the IP address grouped field to search for an IP address across most of the common UDM IP address fields.

You can match a grouped field using a regular expression and using the nocase operator. Reference lists are supported. Grouped fields can be used in combination with regular UDM fields. Grouped fields also have a separate section in Quick Filters.

UDM Search

UDM Search is a new Chronicle search feature which enables you to find UDM events within your Chronicle instance. You can search both for individual UDM events and groups of UDM events tied to shared search terms. UDM search includes a number of search features, enabling you to navigate through your UDM data:

  • Quick Filters—Fast access to saved searches and search history.
  • Event Viewer—View the raw log and UDM for the event.
  • Search Manager—Comprehensive view of your saved searches and search history.

There is also a new UDM search API method available for the Chronicle Search API.

Be sure to review Google's recommended best practices for conducting searches using UDM Search. UDM searches can require substantial computational resources to complete if they are not constructed carefully. Performance also varies depending on the size and complexity of the data in your Chronicle instance.

Reference Lists

Google has made enhancements to the Chronicle reference lists feature, it now enables you to perform more complex matching beyond exact string matches. These new types of reference lists can be used in Detection Engine rules.

For more detailed information about these special list types, see the reference lists documentation.

When creating a list, you must provide a "List Type" to indicate how you want Chronicle to interpret your list. List type cannot be changed after list creation, and can be STRING, REGEX, or CIDR. The list type for any existing lists has been set to STRING, since all reference lists made by preview customers perform exact string matching.

You can create Reference Lists using the Chronicle user interface or programmatically using the Reference List API. For information on how to embed a Reference List within a Rule, see the documentation.

November 10, 2022

Chronicle Curated Detections has been enhanced with the following additional detection content:

  • Windows-based threats:
    • Security Posture Downgrade: detects activity attempting to disable or decrease the effectiveness of security tools.
  • Cloud threats:
    • Suspicious Behavior: detects activity that is thought to be uncommon and suspicious in most environments.
    • Service Disruption: detects destructive or disruptive actions that, if performed in a functioning production environment, may cause a significant outage.
    • Suspicious Infrastructure Change: detects modifications to production infrastructure that align with known persistence tactics.

November 09, 2022

Alerts and IOC Matches

The Alerts and Indicators of Compromise (IOC) page displays all the alerts and IOCs currently impacting your enterprise. It provides tools that enable you to filter and view your alerts and IOCs.

  • Alerts can be designated by your security infrastructure, by your security personnel, or by Chronicle Uppercase.

  • IOCs are designated automatically by Chronicle. Chronicle is always absorbing data from both your own infrastructure and numerous other security data sources. It automatically correlates suspicious security indicators with your security data. If a match is found (for example, a suspicious domain is found within your enterprise), Chronicle labels the event as an IOC and displays it on the IOC matches tab.

You can also still navigate to the Enterprise Insights page using the link provided at the top of the Alerts and IOCS page. To view CBN alerts, you still need to use the Enterprise Insights page.

Alert view

Alert view shows a variety of information with regards to a specific alert, including:

  • Alert Status

  • Alert Details—Displays an alert's creation time, recent updates, and its associated rule.

  • Decision States—Displays the verdict for the alert and if it is an indication of a security issue. History—Displays the history of changes made to the alert by your security team. For alerts originating from Chronicle SOAR, Alert view also includes the number and a link to the associated Chronicle SOAR case. You can pivot to your Chronicle SOAR account using this link.

Chronicle SOAR Authentication

You can authenticate with your Chronicle SOAR account from Chronicle. Once you have authenticated with your Chronicle SOAR account, you can pivot between your Chronicle account and your Chronicle SOAR account as needed.

Chronicle SOAR Cases

Chronicle SOAR ingests alerts from a variety of sources. You can conduct additional investigations of Chronicle SOAR cases from Chronicle or pivot to Chronicle SOAR. You can pivot to your Chronicle SOAR Cases from the Chronicle application menu. For more information on Chronicle SOAR cases, see the Chronicle SOAR documentation.

Chronicle SOAR Playbooks

Chronicle SOAR Playbooks define a series of automatic steps taken when triggered by an incoming alert and can be used to investigate and respond to security issues. You can pivot to your Chronicle SOAR Playbooks from the Chronicle application menu. For more information on Chronicle SOAR Playbooks, see the Chronicle SOAR documentation.

VirusTotal Context

Chronicle's integration with VirusTotal has been revised and enhanced. This feature enables you to pivot from finding domains linked to an asset in Chronicle to viewing information about that domain from VirusTotal. From a Chronicle event view, such as Asset view, Domain view, or IP Address view, click VT Context to open the VirusTotal Context window. Some of the VirusTotal information is only available to users with a VirusTotal Enterprise account.

Some of the older links in the Chronicle user interface to VirusTotal, for example the option in Asset view to display the first 50 results in VirusTotal Graph and the VirusTotal Insights results panel, have been removed. Clicking VT Context provides access to the same information and VirusTotal functionality, including access to VirusTotal Graph.

Detection Engine now includes the following new features:

  • You can define an outcome section in single event rules. Previously, the outcome section was supported in multi-event rules only. If you have multi-event rules that use only one event variable, you can refactor them by deleting the match section to make them more performant. For an example rule, see YARA-L 2.0 language overview. For more detailed information about rule syntax, see YARA-L 2.0 language syntax.

  • In the existing condition section, you can now use variables defined in the outcome section. This enables you to filter on aggregates (variables in the outcome section can be defined using aggregate functions) and on the $risk_score outcome variable. For more detailed information about the condition section, see YARA-L 2.0 language syntax.

  • You can assign a placeholder variable to the result of a function call. You can then use the placeholder variable in other sections of the rule, such as the match section, outcome section, or condition section. For information about the syntax for function to placeholder assignments and any restrictions, see the YARA-L 2.0 language syntax.

Export filter for Cloud logs

Previously, you could export DNS and Cloud Audit logs using the Chronicle panel within the Google Cloud Console. You can now configure the default export filter to export additional log types. You can not only control the log types, but also the source projects producing these logs. Both inclusion and exclusion of logs are supported as well. In addition, semantic validation of the log filters can catch malformed log filters with invalid log types or identifiers. The filter language is defined by the Google logging query language that is shared with Cloud Logging.

For more information about the Export Log Filter Settings, see Exporting Google Cloud Logs to Chronicle.

April 25, 2022

Rules run frequency

Rules can now be run at different frequencies. Rule run frequency impacts the latency with which detections are discovered for each rule. Longer run frequencies increase the amount of time between when an event occurs and when a detection is processed for that event. Rules with a window size of at least one hour are limited to either 1 hour or 24 hour run frequencies.

April 15, 2022

Chronicle Detection Engine now supports the min() function and subtraction operator in the outcome section of a rule.

February 08, 2022

Chronicle Forwarder

For the Chronicle Forwarder to function properly, an additional firewall rule is needed for host oauth2.googleapis.com. This information has been added to both the Windows and Linux versions of the Forwarder documentation.

December 14, 2021

Role-based access control (RBAC)

Role-based access control (RBAC) enables you to tailor access to Chronicle features based on an employee's role in the organization. Assigning a role to a user grants that user the permissions associated with the role, which enables the user to access role-appropriate Chronicle features.

December 08, 2021

Dashboards

Chronicle provides a set of default dashboards to monitor data ingestion status, health, rule detection context, IOC matches and alert prioritization, and user sign-ins. Reporting is available by converting a dashboard to a shareable file (PDF, Excel, CSV, etc.). You can also create custom personal and shared dashboards.

November 19, 2021

This document describes Chronicle's recommendations for writing rules in YARA-L.

October 15, 2021

Detection Engine API

September 28, 2021

Uppercase has been rebranded as Google Cloud Threat Intelligence (GCTI).

September 22, 2021

July 13, 2021

New documentation to support Chronicle data ingestion planning

You can now find information about Chronicle supported default parsers.

Supported default parsers provides information about which ingestion labels (LogTypes) also support a default parser. You can find the supported data format (KV, JSON, CEF, etc), the parser category, and when the default parser was last updated.

July 01, 2021

Asset Namespaces

The asset namespaces feature enables you to classify categories of assets sharing a common network environment, or namespace, and then perform searches for those assets within the Chronicle user interface based on that namespace. See also the Linux Forwarder documentation for information on how to configure the Forwarder to add namespaces to your security data before it is ingested into your Chronicle account.

Linux Forwarder Updates

The Linux Forwarder has been enhanced with the following additional capabilities:

Disk Buffering—Disk buffering enables you to buffer backlogged messages to disk as opposed to memory. The backlogged messages can be stored in case the forwarder crashes or the underlying host crashes.

Regular Expression Filters—Regular expression filters enable you to filter logs based on regular expression matches.

Arbitrary labels—Use labels to attach arbitrary metadata to logs using key and value pairs.

Namespaces—Use namespace labels to identify logs from distinct network segments and to deconflict overlapping IP addresses.

Kafka Input—You can ingest data from Kafka topics just as you can for syslog. Consumer groups are leveraged to enable you to deploy up to 3 Forwarders and pull data from the same Kafka topic.

June 30, 2021

Downloading Events

You can download large numbers of the events associated with each threat detection as a CSV file, enabling you to search across a broad set of the data stored in your Chronicle account to hunt for security issues.

June 28, 2021

Detection Engine API

The VerifyRule method has been added to the Detection Engine API. This method verifies that a rule is a valid YARA-L 2.0 rule without creating a new rule or evaluating it over data.

June 21, 2021

Uppercase Alerts

For Chronicle customers who are also Uppercase customers, Uppercase alerts are now displayed on the Enterprise Insights page. Uppercase alerts are derived from both Google's internal threat detection infrastructure and research provided by Uppercase security analysts.

You can view these alerts in Uppercase Alert view. This view also enables you to provide feedback that can be shared with your own security team and with Uppercase.

You can also use the Uppercase API to retrieve alerts from your Chronicle account.

June 01, 2021

Chronicle Automated Google Cloud Log Ingestion

Google Cloud customers can now send logs directly to their Chronicle account. Customers can send both Cloud Audit and Cloud DNS logs. See Ingesting Google Cloud Logs in to Chronicle for more information.

May 15, 2021

Archive Rules

You can now archive rules specified for the Detection Engine. Archiving a rule hides the security data related to that rule (and all of its versions) without actually deleting the rule. See Archive rules for more information.
