 The Python script accomplishes the following tasks:

It imports the required libraries for HTTP, base64, SSL, and sys modules.

It takes the host, user, and password information from the command line arguments and assigns them to variables.

It creates an HTTPS connection object using the host and port 9060, and specifies the SSL protocol as TLSv1_2.

It encodes the user and password information in base64 format for basic HTTP authentication.

It sets the headers for the HTTP request, including the accept, authorization, and cache-control fields.

It sends a GET request to the Cisco ISE server to retrieve information from the “/ers/config/internaluser/” endpoint, which returns the list of internal users configured on Cisco ISE.

It reads the response from the server and prints the status, headers, and body in a human-readable format.

The script authenticates to the Cisco ISE server using the username of ersad and the password of Password1, and retrieves the internal user information from the server.

Trusted Automated Exchange of Indicator Information (TAXII) is a standard that defines how to exchange cyber threat intelligence (CTI) over HTTPS. CTI includes indicators of compromise (IOCs), such as malware hashes, IP addresses, URLs, and domains, that can be used to detect and respond to cyberattacks. TAXII enables the sharing of CTI in a secure, automated, and interoperable way among different organizations and tools. Structured Threat Information Expression (STIX) is a standard that defines how to represent and structure CTI in a common language. STIX and TAXII are often used together to facilitate the exchange of CTI. Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) is not a standard, but a term used to describe a sophisticated and stealthy cyberattack that persists over a long period of time, often targeting specific organizations or sectors. Open Command and Control (OpenC2) is a standard that defines how to communicate and execute cyber defense actions across different technologies and domains. OpenC2 enables the orchestration and automation of cyber defense actions, such as blocking, isolating, or redirecting malicious traffic or devices. References :=

 To add switches into the fabric, administrators can use PowerOn Auto Provisioning (POAP) or Seed IP methods. POAP is a feature that automates the process of upgrading software images and installing configuration files on Cisco switches that are being deployed in the network for the first time. Seed IP is a method that allows administrators to specify the IP address of a switch that is already part of the fabric, and then use it to discover and add other switches that are connected to it. Both methods enable administrators to control how switches are added into DCNM for private cloud management. References:

POAP, section “PowerOn Auto Provisioning (POAP)”.

A cloud access security broker (CASB) is a security solution that helps protect cloud-hosted services and applications from cyberattacks and data breaches. A CASB acts as an intermediary between cloud users and cloud providers, and enforces the organization’s security policies and compliance requirements. A CASB integrates with other cloud solutions via APIs and monitors the cloud activity and data across multiple platforms and devices. A CASB can also create incidents based on events from the cloud solution, such as unauthorized access, data leakage, malware infection, or policy violation. A CASB can then alert the administrators, block the malicious actions, or remediate the issues. A CASB provides visibility, control, and protection for the organization’s cloud environment12.

Explanation

Cisco Tetration platform studies the behavior of the various processes and applications in the workload,

measuring them against known bad behavior sequences. It also factors in the process hashes it collects. By

studying various sets of malwares, the Tetration Analytics engineering team deconstructed it back into its basic

building blocks. Therefore, the platform understands clear and crisp definitions of these building blocks and

watches for them.

The various suspicious patterns for which the Cisco Tetration platform looks in the current release are:

+ Shell code execution: Looks for the patterns used by shell code.

+ Privilege escalation: Watches for privilege changes from a lower privilege to a higher privilege in the process

lineage tree.

+ Side channel attacks: Cisco Tetration platform watches for cache-timing attacks and page table fault bursts.

Using these, it can detect Meltdown, Spectre, and other cache-timing attacks.

+ Raw socket creation: Creation of a raw socket by a nonstandard process (for example, ping).

+ User login suspicious behavior: Cisco Tetration platform watches user login failures and user login methods.

+ Interesting file access: Cisco Tetration platform can be armed to look at sensitive files.

+ File access from a different user: Cisco Tetration platform learns the normal behavior of which file is

accessed by which user.

+ Unseen command: Cisco Tetration platform learns the behavior and set of commands as well as the lineage

of each command over time. Any new command or command with a different lineage triggers the interest of the

Tetration Analytics platform.

The Cisco Umbrella Multi-Org console has the ability to upload, store, and archive traffic activity logs from your organizations’ Umbrella dashboards to the cloud through Amazon S3. CSV formatted Umbrella logs are compressed (gzip) and uploaded every ten minutes so that there’s a minimum of delay between traffic from the organization’s Umbrella dashboard being logged and then being available to download from an S3 bucket.

By having your organizations’ logs uploaded to an S3 bucket, you can then download logs automatically to keep in perpetuity in backup storage.

Explanation

FlexVPN is an IKEv2-based VPN technology that provides several benefits beyond traditional site-to-site VPN implementations. FlexVPN is a standards-based solution that can interoperate with non-Cisco IKEv2

implementations. Therefore FlexVPN can support a multivendor environment. All of the three VPN technologies support traffic between sites (site-to-site or spoke-to-spoke).
