This topic is a chance to clarify your questions about Cisco Threat Response, from its components and new features to the resources to get started. During the session, the Threat Response team will answer questions about how Cisco Threat Response can simplify complex threat investigations in order to improve incident response in these ways:
  • Coordination of activities among Firepower, Umbrella, AMP, Email Security, Threat Grid, and Talos in order to improve threat hunting efficiency
  • Reduced adversary dwell times through rapid responses from AMP and Umbrella from a unified response console, in as little as two clicks
  • Simplified access and module configuration

Hi Ben, Ira and Adi
Thanks for your great session, we learned a lot last Tuesday. Please help to clarify the remaining questions:


  • If you use the automated tools to apply changes is there a change log? Talking about the click/change is here any way to get a change report each day for example?

No, this is currently not supported. If detailed journaling is needed, we recommend using the notes features in the casebook tool to track this kind of activity. If you just want to be able to see the list of all things that have been added to a blocklist, the lists themselves are still available in their usual places in each products' own interface.

  • You can see historic activity, but can you see real time activity for a specific issue? For instance, in one scenario you think you have put the resolution in place but management wants to know it has definitely worked

Many sightings will report if the attempt was allowed or not. So for example if you are investigating a domain, and Umbrella returns a sighting on that domain, it may say in the "resolution" column that the connection was allowed. Then if you block that domain in Umbrella, you can pivot into Umbrella to see the blocklist and cofirm that the domain was added, and you can also test a conneciton to that domain and see that it was blocked, and in the Threat Response interface if you investigate the domain again, you will see a new sighting on the domain with a resolution of "blocked". see the example image below:

Another challenge for you guys ‘building a zero downtime network’, I am aware certain devices can but patched/upgraded with zero downtime for example but they are high end devices, others have failover. What are the lower end options or alternatives eg. booting part of a switch stack at a time?

Threat Response is a cloud-only service; you do not have to patch it. Problem solved :)
