This use case provides updates to the security operations features of the Enterprise tier of Security Command Center. To apply the updates, follow the procedures on this page.

The update procedure includes the following high-level steps:

  1. Prepare the system for update by disabling a connector and deleting certain existing playbooks.
  2. Install the latest version of the SCC Enterprise – Cloud Orchestration and Remediation use case.

To delete default playbooks, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Security Operations console, go to Response > Playbooks. The drop-down filter is set to Show All by default.

  2. Select the Siemplify Use Cases folder. This folder contains the following default playbooks:

    • AWS Threat Response Playbook
    • GCP Threat Response Playbook
    • IAM Recommender Response
    • Posture Findings – Generic
    • Posture Findings – Generic – VM Manager
    • Posture Findings With Jira
    • Posture Findings With ServiceNow
    • Google Cloud – Execution – Cryptomining
    • Google Cloud – Execution – Binary or Library Loaded Executed
    • Google Cloud – Execution – Malicious URL Script or Shell Process
    • Google Cloud – Persistence – Suspicious Behaviour
    • Google Cloud – Persistence – IAM Anomalous Grant
    • Posture – Toxic Combination Playbook
    • Preview – Azure Threat Response Playbook

  3. In the Playbooks page navigation, click Edit to select multiple items.

  4. Next to Siemplify Use Cases, click done_all Select all to select all playbooks and blocks in the folder.

  5. In the Playbooks page navigation, click list Menu > Delete. A window appears that requires you to confirm or cancel the deletion of selected playbooks.
