  • 1.  Whitelisting a false positive

    Posted Sat October 12, 2019 08:02 AM
    Hi,

    Trying to whitelist a false positive offense.

    In a log source there are two types of events...
    Event 1, signals a suspicious situation.
    Event 2, signals a situation as occurred from a certain machine.

    Now there is a similarity...
    If event 1 occurs and event 2 has occurred in the same minute with the same username
    Then the event is false positive.

    Is there a way to combine does events and make a rule to filter out the false positives within qradar?

    Hi @Jan Prins,

    There's always a way for everything.
    As you are sure that if event 2 occurs around event 1, it is false positive, it makes it relatively easy. You can achieve this in many ways:Bulding Blocks, Rules etc.
    But in rules if you go to Test Group "Functions - Sequence"​, you will see many tests for you.
    You may create a buliding block with event 1 matching and building block with event 2 matching. The idea is : When BB2 matches when BB1 has matched in some time with the same username in any order.

    Hope this helps.
