Transforming Cisco Firepower Logs into Actionable Insights Using Falcon LogScale

Transforming Cisco Firepower Logs into Actionable Insights Using Falcon LogScale

Cisco Firepower provides advanced threat protection, intrusion prevention, and next-generation firewall capabilities, generating a wealth of log data critical for maintaining network security. However, the sheer volume and complexity of Cisco Firepower syslogs can make it challenging for security teams to extract meaningful insights. With CrowdStrike’s Falcon LogScale and Data Elicit Solutions’ prebuilt parser and dashboard for Cisco Firepower syslogs, organizations can now transform these raw logs into actionable insights, enabling faster threat detection and improved network visibility.

Parsing Logs

The cornerstone of this package is the cisco-firepower parser, designed to efficiently parse and categorize various log types from Cisco Firepower syslog. These parser allows you to transform raw log data into structured formats that can be easily visualized and analyzed. The parser normalizes data to a common schema called CrowdStrike Parsing Standard (CPS). This schema allows you to search the data without knowing the data specifically, and just knowing the common schema instead. It also allows you to combine the data more easily with other data sources which conform to the same schema.

Pre-Built Dashboard for Quick Insights

To help you maximize the value of your Cisco Firepower logs, we’ve created pre-built dashboard that provide real-time insights into various aspects of your network. The package includes Cisco Firepower Secure Firewall Dashboard that provides insights about:

Connection Events

Network Data Transfer Volume

File Events

Malware Events

Intrusion Events

Indications of Compromise (IOCs)

With Cisco Firepower syslog events successfully ingested into Falcon Logscale, SOC team can gain access to a wealth of actionable insights and can proactively address the treats and issues. The Cisco Firepower Secure Firewall dashboard provides efficient visualization and insights as shown in the picture.

Conclusion

Falcon LogScale, combined with the Data Elicit Solutions’ Cisco Firepower package, offers a powerful solution for visualizing and analyzing Cisco Firepower firewall logs. By leveraging these tools, you can enhance network performance, ensure security, and maintain compliance with ease.
