Integration with Security Operations

Antivirus solutions must integrate with broader security operations for effective threat management. Centralized logging, alerting, and response coordination ensure rapid incident handling. Modern security operations centers (SOCs) require antivirus telemetry for comprehensive threat visibility.

Configure Windows Defender to forward events to SIEM systems:

# Enable Windows Defender operational logging
wevtutil set-log "Microsoft-Windows-Windows Defender/Operational" /enabled:true /retention:false /maxsize:1073741824

# Configure event forwarding
winrm quickconfig
wecutil cs SecurityEventForwarding.xml

Linux antivirus integration typically uses syslog forwarding:

# Configure ClamAV syslog forwarding
echo "LogSyslog yes" >> /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
echo "LogFacility LOG_LOCAL6" >> /etc/clamav/clamd.conf

# Forward to SIEM
echo "local6.*    @@siem.company.com:514" >> /etc/rsyslog.conf
systemctl restart rsyslog

Implement automated response playbooks triggered by antivirus detections: ```yaml # Example Ansible playbook for malware response

name: Automated Malware Response hosts: "{{ affected_host }}" tasks:
- name: Isolate infected system command: iptables -I INPUT -j DROP
- name: Capture memory dump shell: | apt-get install -y lime-forensics insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/lime.ko path=/forensics/memory.lime format=lime
- name: Collect forensic artifacts synchronize: mode: pull src: "{{ item }}" dest: "/forensics/{{ inventory_hostname }}/" loop:
  - /var/log/
  - /etc/passwd
  - /home/*/.bash_history
