Getting More Out of MISP and Microsoft Sentinel

Typically, SecOps analysts will have many daily routines, one of which will be to check their favourite Threat Intelligence Platforms, read the latest threats and note down any that are worthy of attention. Next, they’ll add those threats to the their central log analysis and alerting platform (e.g. Microsoft Sentinel) as something to look for. Depending on how many feeds analysts are watching and how active the bad actors are, this can be a very time consuming process. Granted, an important one, but still time consuming. Wouldn't it be nice if we could save the planet one tree at a time by doing away with all the post-it notes with one-off IP addresses and domain names? Could we get MISP and Microsoft Sentinel to talk directly without wasting analyst time?

MISP has a lot of strengths, but it’s not a malware analysis service in its own right. It does deal with file hashes day in and day out, though. While you can add malicious file samples to MISP, we advise against it to make sure analysts don’t make mistakes and practise good network hygiene. So, we wanted to add another screwdriver to MISP’s toolbox.
