Cortex XDR-File hash Allow/Block on specific endpoint

L2 Linker

Hi everyone,

 

Can we allow/block the file hash for a particular endpoint instead of allowing/blocking the file hash on all the endpoints?

 

Regards

@RahulPrajapati yes. Please create a new profile and apply it to a single endpoint/set of endpoints/static or dynamic groups as per your prevention policies.

Hi @RahulPrajapati you can use a Malware profile to key in a file path (see Step 3, substep 3 here).

Alternately, you can also look at using Exception Profile for specific modules that you want the process to be exempted from (Step 3 here). 

 

Hi @bbarmanroy ,

 

But this will allow/block the file on all endpoints on which this profile is applied right? But I want to allow/block the file for specific endpoint not all endpoints

Hi @bbarmanroy ,

 

Even I'm having the similar requirement to allow hash for specific endpoints. 

But as per my observation, the Malware profile allows only to add files/folders/trusted signers into allow list. I don't see any fields where I can add hashes.

 

We have a scenario here where we need to allow the execution of a particular internal tool that has no signers and can be found in different file paths with different end users.  Therefore I can whitelist neither trusted signers nor files/folders. I need to allow the only hash to this specific group of people. Unfortunately, that option is unavailable.

 

Thanks!!

@bbarmanroy, why is this marked with an accepted answer?

 

Cortex XDR allows whitelisting hashes globally, not on specific endpoints or groups. The subject of this (Cortex XDR-File hash Allow/Block on specific endpoint) is not solved.

 

I require whitelisting on a per-group basis as well; this seems like a pretty basic and fundamental feature. Allowing only globally whitelisted SHA256 hashes puts other groups at risk unnecessarily, when only a single isolated group or device requires the whitelisted hash.

 

@MithunKT correctly states that Malware profiles or Legacy Agent Exceptions only provide files/folders/trusted signers.
