Antivirus Administration
The Snare Central is based on a custom distribution of Linux, and is therefore potentially susceptible to (significantly) less than 1% of all viruses currently in the wild. The Snare Central does not provide desktop-level functionality, and the risk profile for virus infection on the Snare Central is extremely low. However, the Snare Central integrates the ClamAV virus checker, which is an open source (GPL) antivirus engine designed for detecting Trojans, viruses, malware and other malicious threats. It includes a high performance mutli-threaded scanning daemon that provides numerous file format detection mechanisms, file unpacking support, archive support, and multiple signature languages for detecting threats.

This objective provides summary information on current objective scheduling, target email addresses, and access controls. A link to each objective also enables you to modify the associated configuration settings.
Manage Plugins
The team at InterSect Alliance provide development services for customers, such as creating Snare Central objectives that meet specific organisational requirements. We release these customisations as 'Snare Central Plugins', which can be installed using the normal 'Snare Central Update' capability, and can be turned on/off using the 'Manage Plugins' objective."
My Account
Your Snare Central password can be changed in this objective. Last login date/time information is also available. Note that the Snare Central implements several password security policies, including:

Threat Intelligence Configuration
Snare Server 7.4+ includes an updated collection infrastructure, which is capable of interfacing with the new Snare Advanced Threat Intelligence (SATI) module. Enabling the threat intelligence capability on the Snare Central Server will facilitate delivery of selected important events, up to an infrastructure which is capable of providing enhanced dashboards and log intelligence.
Delivery of data to a non-local elasticsearch instance is also supported. Note that only a limited high value subset of the data received by the Snare Central Server, will be forwarded to the destination server.
Enabling SATI delivery will display an overview of the currently enabled forwarding filters.
The Snare Server can be configured to log to a local elastic instance (which is installed and available as part of version 7.4 of the Snare Central server), or can be configured to log to a remote elastic instance. If the remote elastic instance is protected by either X-Pack or ElasticShield from InterSect Alliance, HTTPS/TLS and authentication can be activated.

The events that are forwarded to the Threat Intelligence instance, or a remote elastic server, are governed by the configuration file /data/Snare/ConfigSettings/RealTime.config on the Snare server. This file is not intended to be user-editable at this stage, since it ties directly in with the available dashboard capabilities of the Threat Intelligence server. Event collection rates may be significantly impacted, when this feature is active. ElasticSearch ingest rates are significantly lower than those supported by the Snare Central Server, on similar hardware. When this feature is activated, the potential Snare Server collection rates, will be governed by the elasticsearch bulk upload capabilities. In general terms, there may be one or two orders of magnitude difference between Snare Central Server collection rates, and elasticsearch ingest capabilities. Warning: Activating the Threat Intelligence configuration, without installing the corresponding Threat Intelligence module to manage the generated data, will mean that your Snare Central Server will store significantly more data per received event, without being able to remove the associated data from the file-system via the Snare Central Server user interface. |
