Integrate Windows IR collector

Integrate Windows IR collector

The IR Collector integration allows admins with local and domain permissions to connect to Windows endpoints remotely, copy IR tools, run commands on the endpoint and collect digital artifacts for future analysis. After the IR Collector is configured, it will collect incident related forensic data by accessing the attacker's unit via the deployment network where the attack originated from.

To configure the IR Collector:
  1. Go to Fabric > Quarantine Integration and click Quarantine integration with new device. The Integrate With New Device pane opens.
  2. From the Integrate method dropdown, select IR collector and configure the integration settings as required.
    Tooltip

    The Username should be a user who is either a local admin or a domain user with administrative privileges to access the endpoints.

  3. Click Save.
  4. Configure the Windows endpoint. Both IR and Windows network isolation in the Fabric require the same setting for the endpoints. For information, see Mitigation using windows Remote Command.
  5. After you configuring FortiDeceptor and the Windows endpoint, perform a connection check.
    1. Go to Fabric > Quarantine Integration
    2. Select the IR Collector integration and click Credential Test.

To download the artifacts:
  1. Go to Incident > Analysis.
  2. Click an incident in the table.
  3. Click Download Forensic Data. The artifacts are saved as a Zip file.
