Adding STIX Objects to the User-Defined Suspicious Object List

Views:

After obtaining a properly formatted Structured Threat Information Expression (STIX) file (*.xml) from a trusted external source (a security forum or other Deep Discovery Virtual Analyzer product), import the file to Apex Central to extract the suspicious file SHA-1, IP address, URL, and domain objects to the User-Defined Suspicious Object list. When uploading a file, you can also specify the scan action that supported Trend Micro products perform after detecting the suspicious objects.

For more information about manually adding suspicious objects to the User-Defined Suspicious Object list, see Adding Objects to the User-Defined Suspicious Object List.

Important:

Apex Central only supports uploading properly formatted STIX files that have *.xml file extensions and conform to the following STIX and Cybox releases:

STIX 1.1
STIX 1.1.1
STIX 1.2
Cybox 2.1

Note:

Apex Central automatically extracts suspicious objects to the User-Defined Suspicious Object list when the STIX file is imported.

Go to Threat Intel > Custom Intelligence.
The Custom Intelligence screen appears.
Click the STIX tab.
The STIX file list appears.
(Optional) To filter the files that display in the file list, use the search box to specify a full or partial string contained in the File Name, Short Description, or Source Added By columns.
Click Add.
The Add STIX Files screen appears.
Select STIX files (*.xml) to upload.
1. Click Select Files....
2. Select one or more files to upload.
  Note:

(Optional) Click Advanced settings to specify scan actions that supported products perform after detecting the object.
Note:
You can also configure scan actions for suspicious objects on the User-Defined Suspicious Object list.
