Re: EXT :[openc2-lang] RE: SCAP 2.0 Monitoring Overlay Idea

Adam,

The proposal is written in terms of creating and distributing a file listing monitoring specifications in a structured format. Would it be acceptable to instead receive an OpenC2 command, structured similarly to the JSON example in the file?

Is the intent to direct this information at the Collector, the element provided the data, or both?

What's the expansion of "PCE"?

Very Interesting, Adam

 

I have worked on a couple specifications that included  remote monitoring in the past, and have recently written up those two approaches as potential starting points for OpenC2 including similar functions.

My thoughts had been time related, but key event related, such as on-start-up seems a natural extension.

 

I would be very interested in your comments on the Use Case above, which references the monitoring/reporting component two previous specifications. Neither one seems exactly right for this specification, but
 with the added description from your document, we may be getting close to something that we can use to begin work on an OpenC2 Actuator Profile for such a service.

Adam,

Thank you. I am forwarding this on to the experts to prepare a use case explain how to do it. We look forward to working together.

Hi Duncan,

 

Per your request, I’ve attached a draft-of-a-draft overview of what the SCAP 2.0 group is considering as a requirement. That group would like to be able to schedule state collection and evaluation on various
 intervals ranging from when a computing resource “wakes up” or connects (from the perspective of the enterprise), when a target attribute of interest changes (i.e. configuration setting X has changed from enabled to disabled), to a variety of time-based intervals
 ranging from minutes to months.

 

Rather than reinvent any wheels, they asked me to see whether OpenC2 might have some _expression_ for this sort of thing.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Kind regards,

 

Adam
