VIEW RULE IN DATADOG VIEW SIGNALS

Goal

Detect when Checkpoint’s Anti-Ransomware solution raises a ransomware infection alert.

Strategy

This rule monitors Checkpoint Quantum Firewall logs for when a ransomware infection is detected by the Anti-Ransomware product. This rule uses the third-party detection method to create a signal with the same serverity as the event severity (@checkpoint_firewall_severity).

Triage and response

1. Investigate the Checkpoint alert to determine if it is malicious or benign.
2. If the alert is benign, consider including the user or host in a suppression list. See Best practices for creating detection rules with Datadog Cloud SIEM for more information.
