  • IDS improvements
  • Expose Indicators of Compromise (IOC)
  • Improved display of traffic capture for network events

Email analysis improvements

  • In-line mode: ability to configure a separate next-hop for email bounces.
  • In-line mode: increased robustness in case the next-hop sever closes the connection during email delivery.

IDS improvements

  • Expanded file support: the Sensor now extracts Mach-O and Microsoft .cab archives from network traffic for processing.
  • Stability enhancements in the FTP analyzer.

Expose Indicators of Compromise (IOC)

The analysis platform now supports extracting Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from analysis runs in the Lastline sandbox. This allows the integration of host-based tools supporting IOCs in STIX format, and to verify network events on a potentially compromised machine.

Improved display of traffic capture for network events

Display of captured traffic has been improved. Contacted URLs are now displayed in the table listing captured flows. Furthermore, it is possible to filter the table to search for flows that involved a selected URL. This makes exploring the traffic captures events involving many network flows more convenient.
