Panther

Panther is an SIEM integration. SIEM integrations are used to perform analysis of any SIEM generated alerts, and/or to use generated data as part of investigation analysis.

The Dropzone platform integrates with the Panther security SIEM. Many customers ingest other alert sources into Panther (e.g. IDPs) and integrate Dropzone into Panther rather than the source systems.

Create an API Key

Panther requires an API key to enable.

To obtain an API Key, do the following:

• Navigate to your Panther homepage

• Click on the gear icon in the top right corner

• Select "API Tokens"

Select API Tokens

• Record the API URL located at the top of the page for use later in the Dropzone UI where it is called "Panther URL"

API URL

• Click on "Create New Token"

• Grant the token the following permissions:

Permission	Purpose
Manage Alerts	(optional) Allows Dropzone to add investigations results as Panther comments
Read Alerts	Allows Access to alert information
View Rules	Allows viewing the log rules setup in Panther
Query Data Lake	Allows listing and issuing Data Explorer & Indicator Search queries
View Log Sources	Allows viewing the Log sources setup
Read User Info	Allows access to user information related to your Panther resources

• Click "Create API Token" at the bottom of the page

Create API Token

• Record the value for use later in the Dropzone UI where it is called "API key"

Record the API Token

This value is not shown after you leave this page — be sure to record it immediately.

• Click "Done"

Enable The Dropzone Alert Source Integration

To enable the Alert Source integration, do the following:

• Navigate to your Dropzone AI tenant home page e.g. https://mycompany.dropzone.app

• In the bottom left hand corner, navigate to Settings > Integrations

Integrations Dropdown

• Click "Available"

Click Available

• In the Search bar, search Panther, then click "Configure"

The Panther Tile

• Under the Alert Source heading, input the Panther URL and the API key

The Panther Alert Source Configuration (pt 1)

• In the "Enabled alert statuses for ingestion" section, check the alert statuses you want Dropzone to be able to investigate

The "Closed" status in the Dropzone UI is shown as "Invalid" in the Panther UI.

The Panther Alert Source Configuration (pt 2)

• Check the severity levels you want to ingest

The Panther Alert Source Configuration (pt 3)

• Select a duration in minutes for alert deduplication. See the Panther alert deduplication documentation for more info. A value of 15 is reasonable

• If you wish, you may use an alert filter by setting "Detection ID regex filter"

  • When a regex is put in this field Dropzone will only ingest alerts whose origin ID matches the regular expression

  • Example origin IDS: AWS.Root.Activity, Okta.AdminRoleAssigned, GCP.GKE.Kubernetes.Cron.Job.Created.Or.Modified

  • Supports Python regular expression syntax

    • For example, to ingest all alerts other than AWS alerts, you could use ^(?!AWS).*

  • Work with your Dropzone technical resource to determine if this is appropriate

The Panther Alert Source Configuration (pt 4)

• In the "Ticket Sync - Comment" section, check the boxes to choose what information to include in each ticket

The Panther Alert Source Configuration (pt 5)

• If you wish for Dropzone to update the ticket status over the course of the investigation, check the box labeled "Update ticket status on investigation change," then select the status parameters

The Panther Alert Source Configuration (pt 6)

• If you wish to further filter alerts using the Python CEL package, check the box labeled "Use advanced filtering"

• Input your CEL expression, then select whether to include or exclude alerts matching that filter. Add each filter individually using the "Add Item" button

• Contact your Dropzone AI support representative for more information about this feature
