8.6.5. Configuring the connection to the MISP

8.6.5.1. Introduction

This procedure describes the connection configuration with a MISP server present in the infrastructure.

Note

For more information, see the Interconnection with external systems.
Viewing the connection status and configuration of the MISP connection is described in MISP Connection Configuration Screen.
The MISP connector allows you to bring IOC directly from a MISP to GCenter in the form of rules.
From the GCenter, these rules can be included in a ruleset and therefore sent to the GCap.
This connector allows to add a source of threat intelligence of quality while respecting the instructions of the ANSSI on the qualification of signatures.
The MISP configuration is added to the Sigflow menu in a new menu `MISP`.
