Unicis SOC Plan

Comprehensive breakdown of features and integrations for UNICIS SOC stack that includes Wazuh, TheHive, Zabbix, MISP, Cortex, and Shuffle SOAR.

Integrated Features

1. Centralised Incident Management

  • Wazuh + TheHive:
    • Automate alert ingestion from Wazuh into TheHive to create structured cases.
    • Analysts triage Wazuh alerts in TheHive and enrich them with observables from threat intelligence (via Cortex and MISP).
  • Zabbix + TheHive:
    • Send Zabbix performance or anomaly alerts to TheHive for further analysis.
    • Automatically create cases in TheHive when Zabbix detects critical infrastructure issues that may indicate security concerns.
  • TheHive + Shuffle SOAR:
    • Use Shuffle to automate TheHive workflows, such as escalating alerts to incidents, assigning tasks, or notifying teams.

2. Automated Threat Intelligence Integration

  • Wazuh + MISP:
    • Export Wazuh-detected IoCs (e.g., IPs, domains, hashes) to MISP for community sharing.
    • Use MISP threat feeds in Wazuh for correlation with logs and real-time alerts.
  • MISP + TheHive:
    • Automatically correlate IoCs from MISP with incidents in TheHive.
    • Enrich TheHive cases with detailed threat actor profiles, tactics, and related indicators from MISP.
  • MISP + Cortex:
    • Leverage Cortex analyzers to validate and enrich MISP IoCs (e.g., domain reputation, IP geolocation).
    • Cortex results can be fed back into MISP to keep threat intelligence updated.
  • Shuffle + MISP:
    • Automate the ingestion of new threat feeds into MISP and push updates to Wazuh.
    • Trigger Shuffle workflows for MISP when new IoCs are detected, such as adding alerts to Wazuh or sharing them with other organisations.

3. Proactive Alert Management

  • Wazuh + Zabbix:
    • Correlate Wazuh alerts with Zabbix metrics to identify suspicious activities with infrastructure context.
  • Zabbix + Shuffle SOAR:
    • Automate responses to Zabbix alerts, such as restarting failing services or notifying teams about resource exhaustion.
  • TheHive + Cortex:
    • When alerts in TheHive contain observables (IPs, domains, hashes), Cortex analyzers automatically enrich them with actionable intelligence.
  • TheHive + Shuffle SOAR:
    • Use Shuffle to assign tasks in TheHive, send notifications to teams, and escalate alerts based on severity or case type.

4. Enhanced Visualisations

  • Zabbix Dashboards:
    • Combine security alerts from Wazuh with performance metrics from Zabbix into unified dashboards.
  • TheHive Analytics:
    • Analyse incident trends and response times, enhanced by enriched threat data from MISP and Cortex.
  • Shuffle Dashboards:
    • Use Shuffle to create centralised dashboards displaying SOC-wide metrics: alert counts, case statuses, response SLAs, and resolved incidents.

5. Automated Playbooks

  • Shuffle SOAR:
    • Automate multi-step responses, such as:
      • Triggering Cortex enrichment for new TheHive observables.
      • Updating MISP with new IoCs detected by Wazuh or validated by Cortex.
      • Quarantining affected endpoints using Wazuh triggers.
    • TheHive Playbooks:
      • Guide analysts through consistent incident response workflows:
      • Example: Phishing case playbook → Analyze email headers in Cortex → Cross-check domains in MISP → Update case findings in TheHive.

6. Improved Threat Detection

  • Wazuh + Cortex:
    • Automatically enrich Wazuh alerts using Cortex analyzers (e.g., VirusTotal for file hashes, AbuseIPDB for IPs).
    • Highlight false positives or flag high-risk threats based on enrichment data.
  • MISP + Shuffle SOAR:
    • Detect changes in MISP IoCs and trigger Shuffle workflows to alert Wazuh or update TheHive cases.
  • Zabbix + MISP:
    • Correlate Zabbix anomaly alerts with known threat patterns in MISP, enabling proactive detection of infrastructure-based attacks.

Standalone Features

Wazuh

  • Trend analysis for resource utilisation and performance anomalies.
  • Custom alerting for proactive response to potential issues.

MISP

  • Centralised threat intelligence management and sharing platform.
  • Import/export of IoCs in formats like STIX, JSON, and CSV.
  • Advanced IOC correlation and search for identifying related campaigns.

Cortex

  • Observable enrichment using powerful analyzers like VirusTotal, PassiveTotal, and WHOIS lookup.
  • Automation of threat intelligence workflows with integration to other tools like MISP and TheHive.
  • Supports hundreds of analyzers for advanced threat data insights.

Shuffle SOAR

  • Orchestrates and automates workflows across all integrated tools.
  • Provides a centralised automation hub to connect Wazuh, Zabbix, MISP, TheHive, and Cortex.
  • Simplifies repetitive tasks like alert forwarding, case creation, and threat enrichment.
