Security Management Overview
What is Security Management?
Tripl-i's Security Management module provides comprehensive threat detection and security monitoring capabilities for your IT infrastructure. It combines automated threat intelligence integration with real-time monitoring to identify potential security threats across your network.
Key Benefits
- Proactive Threat Detection: Automatically detect connections to known malicious infrastructure before they cause damage
- Threat Intelligence Integration: Leverage industry-leading threat feeds to stay ahead of emerging threats
- Network Visibility: Complete visibility into network connections and potential indicators of compromise
- Automated Alerting: Receive immediate notifications when security threats are detected
- Compliance Support: Document and report on security posture for compliance requirements
Core Capabilities
Threat Intelligence
Tripl-i integrates with multiple threat intelligence sources to maintain an up-to-date database of known malicious indicators:
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Malicious IP Detection | Identify connections to known command & control (C2) servers |
| Malware Family Tracking | Track 160+ malware families including Cobalt Strike, Meterpreter, RATs |
| Process Monitoring | Detect suspicious processes associated with known threats |
| Living Off The Land Detection | Identify misuse of legitimate system tools (LOLBAS) |
Software Policy Management
Define and enforce security policies for software across your organization:
- Blacklisting: Block or alert on prohibited software
- Whitelisting: Define approved software for compliance
- Severity Classification: Prioritize threats by business impact
- Automated Actions: Configure responses from alerting to quarantine
Network IOC Scanning
Monitor network connections against known Indicators of Compromise (IOCs):
- 32,000+ Malicious IPs: Comprehensive database of known bad actors
- Real-time Scanning: Continuous monitoring of network traffic
- C2 Detection: Identify command & control communication patterns
- Port-based Analysis: Detect suspicious port usage patterns
Who Should Use This Module
| Role | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Security Analysts | Investigate and respond to detected threats |
| IT Administrators | Configure security policies and monitoring |
| Compliance Officers | Document security controls and generate reports |
| SOC Teams | Monitor dashboards and triage security events |
Getting Started
- Navigate to Security → Select "Software Policies" from the main menu
- Review Existing Policies → Explore pre-configured threat intelligence policies
- Configure Alerts → Set up notification channels for security events
- Run Scans → Initiate network IOC scans for your environment
Key Features
Software Policy Dashboard
The Software Policy dashboard provides a centralized view of all security policies:
- View active blacklist and whitelist policies
- Filter by severity, threat type, or status
- Quick access to policy details and violation history
- Export policies for documentation
Threat Intelligence Feeds
Tripl-i integrates with trusted threat intelligence sources:
| Source | Data Type | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| ThreatFox | C2 IPs, Malware families | 51,000+ IOCs |
| LOLBAS | System binary abuse patterns | 200+ binaries |
| CISA KEV | Known exploited vulnerabilities | Active exploits |
Security Events
When threats are detected, the system automatically:
- Creates a security event with full context
- Links the event to affected configuration items
- Assigns appropriate severity based on threat type
- Notifies configured channels (email, Slack, etc.)
Integration with CMDB
Security Management is fully integrated with the Tripl-i CMDB:
- Asset Context: See which servers/workstations are affected
- Relationship Mapping: Understand blast radius of compromised assets
- Impact Analysis: Assess business impact of security events
- Historical Tracking: Review security posture over time
Next Steps

- Security Events - Respond to detected threats
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often is threat intelligence updated? A: Threat intelligence feeds are updated daily to ensure protection against the latest threats.
Q: Will this detect all malware? A: The system detects connections to known malicious infrastructure. It complements but does not replace endpoint protection solutions.
Q: Can I add custom threat indicators? A: Yes, you can create custom software policies with your own indicators through the UI.
Q: How do I know if a detection is a false positive? A: Each detection includes confidence scores and source information to help you assess validity. You can also add exclusions for known false positives.
