    Custom feeds

    You can supplement the Prisma Cloud Intelligence Stream with your own custom data, including:
    For each data type, you can add individual entries to a table from the Console web interface, bulk upload a list from a CSV file, or submit a JSON object using the Prisma Cloud API.

    Supplementing the IP reputation list

    You can supplement the Prisma Cloud Intelligence Stream with your own list of suspicious or high-risk IP addresses that you want to ban on your network.
    1. Open Console.
    2. Go to
      Manage > System > Custom Feeds
      .
    3. Click
      IP Reputation Lists
      , and either click
      Add IP
       or
      Import CSV
      .
      Your list of banned IP addresses is immediately enforced when your data is imported. A default runtime defense rule,
      Default - detect suspicious runtime behavior
      , logs an alert when a container tries to connect to a banned IP address.
      You can manually add one entry at a time, or do a bulk upload from a CSV file. The maximum file size for a csv is 20MB.
      The first line in your CSV file must be a header record that contains the field names. Specify one IP address per line. For example:
      ip
99.104.125.48
101.200.81.187
103.19.89.118
    4. Review the default rule
      Go to
      Defend > Runtime > {Container Policy | Host Policy}
      , then click manage for the
      Default - detect suspicious runtime behavior
       rule. You should see that
      Prisma Cloud Advanced Threat Protection
       is set to
      On
      .

    Create a list of malware signatures and trusted executables

    You can supplement the Prisma Cloud Intelligence Stream with your own custom malware signatures and trusted executable list. The trusted executable list is a mechanism to address potential misidentification of legitimate files as malware.
    You can add MD5 hashes of custom malicious executables to the malware signatures list, it enables you to monitor malware that you want to alert or block in runtime rules.
    Malware scanning and detection is supported for Linux container images and hosts only. Windows containers and hosts are not supported.
    When you add MD5 hashes (signatures of binaries) to the trusted executables list, it enables you to ensure that a legitimate binary is not potentially identified as malicious by file system based defense capability in runtime rules.
    The trusted executable list does not apply to other runtime defense capabilities, such as process runtime protection. To exclude files from other runtime detection capabilities use the allowed list in the runtime defense section.
    1. Open Console.
    2. Go to
      Manage > System > Custom Feeds
      .
    3. Select
      Malware signatures
       or
      Trusted executables
      .
    4. Choose how to add the MD5 hashes for malware signatures or trusted executables.
      The MD5 hashes you add to either list of custom feed, are used in all subsequent image scans. It is also used immediately by the runtime defense file system sensor, which assesses all writes to the host and container file system.
      1. For
        Add MD5
        , you can manually add one entry at a time.
      2. For
        Import CSV
        , you can bulk upload from a CSV file.
        The maximum file size is 20MB.
        The first line in your CSV file must be a header record that contains the field names.
        Specify one entry per line. Each entry must include the MD5, followed by a good description to identify why the MD5 is trusted ( in the case of trusted executables) or is known to be malicious (in the case of malware signatures).
        For example:
        md5,name
194836fbe0f121a25b145e55e80cef22,legitimate binary built in-house
0aeb0cac186a81a6ac45776d6b56dd70,test file
33cc273ae3aa8bce6a22c92e7d11f63a,benign file
    5. Review the default rule.
      A default runtime defense rule,
      Default - detect suspicious runtime behavior
      , logs an alert when malware is detected using signatures from the Prisma Cloud data set or your custom data set.
      To review the default rule, go to
      Defend > Runtime > {Container Policy | Host Policy}
      , then click manage for the
      Default - detect suspicious runtime behavior
       rule. You should see that
      Prisma Cloud Advanced Threat Protection
       is set to
      On
      .

    Allowing CVEs globally

    Some organizations have have very sophisticated CI pipelines that encompass many teams and products. When your security team concludes that a CVE doesn’t impact the organization, they want to dismiss it globally without having to manage individual rules or exceptions.
    The CVE Allow List lets you allow CVEs system-wide. Any entry in the CVE Allow List affects all flows in the product, including twistcli, the Jenkins plugin, registry scanning, deployment blocking, Vulnerability Explorer, and so on. Adding a CVE to this list effectively filters it out from the data in the Prisma Cloud Intelligence Stream before it’s used by the scanner.
    The CVE Allow List takes precedence over any rule that’s been created under
    Defend > Vulnerabilities
    . It is a feature designed to complement rules. Rules also let you allow a CVE, but more granularly, by scoping them to specific resources or parts of your environment.
    1. Open Console.
    2. Go to
      Manage > System > Custom Feeds
      .
    3. Click
      CVE Allow List
      , and either click
      Add CVE
       or
      Import CSV
      .
      You can set an expiration date for the CVE, if you want to set a time restriction for when it should no longer be allowed.

    Test Prisma Cloud malware detection capabilities

    Safely simulate malware in your environment to test the malware detection capabilities on Prisma Cloud.

    Configure a custom malware feed

    Set up a custom feed by uploading the provided CSV file to Prisma Cloud Console. This file specifies the MD5 signature for a file that will be considered malware for the purposes of this demo.
    1. Download malware.csv.
    2. In Console, go to
      Manage > System > Custom Feeds > Malware Signatures
      .
    3. Click
      Import CSV
      , and upload malware.csv.

    Detect malware at runtime

    Test how Prisma Cloud detects malware being downloaded into a container at runtime.
    Prerequisites:
     The default runtime rule,
    Default - alert on suspicious runtime behavior
     under
    Defend > Runtime > Container Policy
     is in place. If you have deleted or changed the default rule, create a new one.
    1. Go to
      Defend > Runtime > Container Policy
      , and click
      Add rule
      .
    2. Enter a name for the rule.
    3. In the
      General
       tab, verify
      Prisma Cloud Advanced Threat Protection
       is
      On
      .
    4. In each of the
      Process
      ,
      Networking
      ,
      File System
      , and
      System Calls
       tabs, set
      Effect
       to
      Alert
      .
    1. Run a container and download malware into it.
      $ docker run -ti alpine sh
/ # wget https://cdn.twistlock.com/docs/attachments/evil
    2. Look at resulting audit. Open Console and browse to
      Monitor > Events > Container Audits
      . You will see a file system audit that says malware was detected.
