    Collect Trellix Network Security Audit (formerly FireEye NX Audit) logs

    Parser Version:1.0

    Supported in:

    This document explains how to ingest Trellix Network Security Audit (formerly known as FireEye NX Audit) logs to Google Security Operations using Bindplane.

    Trellix Network Security is a network security appliance that detects and blocks attacks from the web, protecting against drive-by malware and highly targeted zero-day exploits. It leverages the Multi-Vector Virtual Execution (MVX) engine to identify malicious activity and command-and-control callbacks with extremely low false positive rates.

    Before you begin

    Make sure you have the following prerequisites:

    • A Google SecOps instance.
    • A Windows Server 2016 or later, or a Linux host with systemd .
    • Network connectivity between the Bindplane agent and the FireEye NX Audit appliance.
    • If running behind a proxy, ensure firewall ports are open per the Bindplane agent requirements.
    • Privileged access to the FireEye NX Audit management console or appliance.

    Get Google SecOps ingestion authentication file

    1. Sign in to the Google SecOps console.
    2. Go to SIEM Settings > Collection Agents.
    3. Download the Ingestion Authentication File.
    4. Save the file securely on the system where Bindplane will be installed.

    Get Google SecOps customer ID

    1. Sign in to the Google SecOps console.
    2. Go to SIEM Settings > Profile.
    3. Copy and save the Customer IDfrom the Organization Detailssection.

    Install the Bindplane agent

    Install the Bindplane agent on your Windows or Linux operating system according to the following instructions.

 )" 
  
install_unix.sh

    3. Wait for the installation to complete.

       sudo  
systemctl  
status  
observiq-otel-collector

    The service should show as active (running).
