Watchlist API for Enterprise EDR

Introduction

The Watchlist API enables you to manage Watchlists for your organization throughout their lifecycle - creation, update and removal - as well as associated Reports and IOCs.

It allows you to manage both Watchlists subscribed from third party threat intelligence feeds (aka “classifier” watchlists) and those custom built for your organization’s specific needs from new and/or existing Reports (aka “report” watchlists).

With visibility across your fleet of monitored endpoints, you can identify processes that are acting abnormally and over time, focus your watchlists to generate hits and alerts only for unexpected or unwanted activity. This includes:

Creating new report Watchlists from scratch and add/remove/disable/enable new or existing Reports to that Custom Report Watchlist
Configuring or disabling existing Watchlists including enabling “tagging” aka generating “hits” and/or “alerting” aka generating Watchlist Alerts
Configuring or deleting Reports and their included IOCs
Disabling (ignore) individual Reports and IOCs to stop generating tagged events aka hits in otherwise-tagging-enabled Watchlists

The information model for Carbon Black Cloud Watchlists is comprised of three units of information:

IOCs are the smallest unit of information - a single indicator of compromise, to be searched across your organization’s Enterprise EDR data
Reports collect one or more IOCs together as a unit of control - all collected IOCs can be enabled or disabled from generating hits and alerts in a single action
Watchlists collect one or more Reports together as another unit of control - all Reports in one Watchlist can be enabled or disabled for Alerting or reporting in your organization in a single action

Want to make this easier? Check out the support for watchlists, reports, and IOCs in the Carbon Black Cloud Python SDK.

Warning: Do not exceed 1k IOCs per report or 10k reports per feed or watchlist. Exceeding the limit will prevent editing or searching IOCs and Reports. Consider breaking up the Threat Intelligence into multiple feeds or combining IOCs or reports.

Requirements

Enterprise EDR product
All API calls require an API key with appropriate permissions

Authentication

Determine whether you use Carbon Black Cloud or VMware Cloud Services Platform to manage identity and authorization, or see the Carbon Black Cloud API Access Guide for complete instructions.

CBC Managed Identity

Carbon Black Cloud Managed Identity and Authentication
Customize your access to the Carbon Black Cloud APIs with Role-Based Access Control; All APIs and Services authenticate via API Keys. To access the data in Carbon Black Cloud via API, you must set up a key with the correct permissions for the calls you want to make and pass it in the HTTP Headers.

Environment
Available on majority of environments; Use the Carbon Black Cloud Console URL, as described here.

API Route
Replace the {cbc-hostname} and {org_key} with the URL of your Environment and the org_key for your specific Org.

Watchlist: {cbc-hostname}/threathunter/watchlistmgr/v3/orgs/{org_key}/watchlists

Access Level
Before you create your API Key, you need to create a "Custom" Access Level including each category:

org.watchlists, allow permission to CREATE, READ, UPDATE, DELETE

API Key
When creating your API Key, use the Access Level Type of "Custom" and select the Access Level you created. Details on constructing and passing the API Key in your requests are available here.

Watchlist

Create New Watchlist

Create a new report or classifier watchlist. Unique watchlist ID will be generated by the service. Request must only specify report_ids (for Custom Report Watchlist) or classifier (for Subscribed Feed Watchlist), but not both.

Warning: A watchlist with tags_enabled: false and alerts_enabled: true is not supported and will result in a 400 Bad Request.

Update Watchlist

Update watchlist with watchlist_id. This will update the tags and alert status as well as any reports or classifiers attached to the watchlist. If a field is missing or null (e.g. tags_enabled is not included) that field will not be updated. Cannot update report watchlist with empty report_ids list.

Warning: A watchlist with tags_enabled: false and alerts_enabled: true is not supported and will result in a 400 Bad Request.

Alerting is not supported on the following feeds due to the volume of hits:

ATT&CK Framework
Carbon Black Early Access Indicators
Carbon Black Endpoint Visibility
Carbon Black Suspicious Indicators

Attempting to enable an alert on any of these feeds will result in a 400 error.

Further information is available here.

Reports

Create New Report

Adds a new watchlist report. This endpoint will return a unique report id - the ‘id’ field is not required nor accepted as input for this request. This report will be private to the caller - i.e. only available in the requesting organization. IOCs will be converted to IOC_V2.

Warning: If the link is not null or more than one query IOC is added to the report then the report will NOT be editable in the Carbon Black Cloud console.

Ignore IOC

IOC ioc_id for report report_id will not match future events for any watchlist i.e. this IOC will be disabled such that the watchlist report that includes the IOC will not generate hits for that IOC.

IOCv2s

IOCs can be written in three different ways: equality, regex, or query. The equality and regex IOCs are run on ingress whereas the query IOC is run using a rolling window once the data reaches the data store. Because the equality and regex IOCs happen on ingress and do not need any part of the query language, these IOC match types perform better than the query IOC.

An equality IOC will hit when the field value is exactly equal to any of the values.
A regex IOC will hit if the field value matches on the regular expression provided in the values array.
A query IOC will hit if the query in the values array matches on a particular document. These IOCs are equivalent to running searches on the Investigate page. Query IOCs are useful when you need query language to determine if the process is important enough to generate a hit.

Which fields can be used in which types of IOCs? Consult the Platform Search Fields documentation for a list of all possible fields to use in Watchlists:

query IOCs can use any Platform Search field which is documented as Searchable
equality and regex IOCs can use any Platform Search field, except the Aggregation only fields i.e. num_devices, num_events

Equality IOCv2

{
    "id": "1af4e5ff584a",
    "match_type": "equality",
    "field": "process_sha256",
    "values": ["68e656b251e67e8358bef8483ab0d51c6619f3e7a1a9f0e75838d41ff368f728"],
    "link": "https://carbonblack.com"
}

Regular Expression IOCv2

This regular expression looks for double file extensions.
Note: The leading & trailing `/` characters are not used by Watchlists regex IOCs, whereas Search APIs require those characters to know when to interpret a query as regex notation.

{
    "id": "1af4e5ff584a",
    "match_type": "regex",
    "field": "process_name",
    "values": [".*\\\\..{3}\\\\..{3}"],
    "link": "https://carbonblack.com"
}

Query IOCv2

{
    "id": "1af4e5ff584a",
    "match_type": "query",
    "values": ["process_name:malware.exe"],
    "link": "https://carbonblack.com"
}
