Automating Cybersecurity Reporting with OpenAI

Automated Workflow for Daily Cybersecurity Incident Reporting

**Project Description:**
Set up an automated workflow for reporting daily cybersecurity incidents. This involves aggregating data from various alert tools, integrating ChatGPT for enrichment, mapping incidents to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and a custom cybersecurity controls framework, deduplicating information, generating reports, and publishing on LinkedIn.

**Project Requirements:**

1. **Data Ingestion**
- **Tools**: Google Alerts, Talkwalker, Mention, Feedly, Awario, Webhose.io.
- **Integration**: Use Zapier to collect data from these sources and store it in either Airtable or Google Sheets.

2. **Central Data Repository**
- **Option 1: Airtable**
- Create a base with tables for raw alerts, deduplicated incidents, and enriched data.
- **Option 2: Google Sheets**
- Create a spreadsheet with sheets for raw alerts, deduplicated incidents, and enriched data.

3. **Deduplication**
- **Airtable**: Use built-in features or custom scripts to deduplicate data.
- **Google Sheets**: Use built-in functions or custom scripts (Google Apps Script) to deduplicate data.

4. **Enrichment with ChatGPT and MITRE ATT&CK Mapping**
- **Script Example**:
```python
import openai
import requests

openai.api_key = 'your_openai_api_key'

def enrich_with_mitre_attack(incident_description):
prompt = f"Incident: {incident_description}\n\nLink this incident to relevant MITRE ATT&CK techniques."
response = openai.Completion.create(
model="text-davinci-003",
prompt=prompt,
max_tokens=500
)
return response.choices[0].text

def process_incidents(records, update_record):
for record in records:
incident_description = record['Description']
enriched_data = enrich_with_mitre_attack(incident_description)
update_record(record['id'], enriched_data)

# For Airtable
def fetch_and_process_airtable():
airtable_api_key = 'your_airtable_api_key'
base_id = 'your_airtable_base_id'
table_name = 'Deduplicated Incidents'
url = f"https://api.airtable.com/v0/{base_id}/{table_name}"
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {airtable_api_key}"}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
records = response.json()['records']
process_incidents(records, lambda record_id, enriched_data: requests.patch(f"{url}/{record_id}", json={"fields": {"MITRE Techniques": enriched_data}}, headers=headers))

# For Google Sheets
def fetch_and_process_google_sheets():
import gspread
gc = gspread.service_account(filename='path_to_service_account.json')
sh = gc.open('your_google_sheet_name')
worksheet = sh.worksheet('Deduplicated Incidents')
records = worksheet.get_all_records()
process_incidents(records, lambda record_id, enriched_data: worksheet.update_cell(record_id + 1, worksheet.find("MITRE Techniques").col, enriched_data))

# Call the appropriate function based on your setup
# fetch_and_process_airtable()
# fetch_and_process_google_sheets()
```

5. **Mapping to Custom Cybersecurity Controls Framework**
- **Custom Framework**: Create a table/sheet in Airtable/Google Sheets with mappings of incidents to your cybersecurity controls.
- **Script Example**:
```python
def map_to_custom_controls(incident_description, mitre_techniques, custom_controls_framework):
relevant_controls = []
for technique in mitre_techniques:
if technique in custom_controls_framework:
relevant_controls.append(custom_controls_framework[technique])
return relevant_controls

custom_controls_framework = {
"T1566.001": ["Control A", "Control B"],
"T1078": ["Control C", "Control D"]
# Add all relevant mappings here
}

def enrich_with_controls(records, update_record):
for record in records:
incident_description = record['Description']
mitre_techniques = record['MITRE Techniques']
controls = map_to_custom_controls(incident_description, mitre_techniques.split(', '), custom_controls_framework)
update_record(record['id'], ', '.join(controls))

# Integrate this function into the fetch_and_process functions as shown previously
```

6. **Reporting and Publishing**
- **Airtable**: Use grid, calendar, and gallery views for data organization.
- **Google Sheets**: Use different sheets or custom views for organizing data.
- **Buffer Integration**: Automate scheduling and publishing of reports to LinkedIn using Zapier.

**Deliverables:**
- Automated workflow with integration of either Airtable or Google Sheets, ChatGPT, MITRE ATT&CK, and custom cybersecurity controls.
- Documentation detailing setup process, configuration, and instructions for maintenance.

**Skills Required:**
- Experience with automation tools like Zapier.
- Knowledge of RSS feeds and alert tools (Google Alerts, Talkwalker, Mention).
- Proficiency in using Airtable or Google Sheets for data management.
- Familiarity with AI tools, specifically ChatGPT.
- Scripting skills (Python or Google Apps Script) for custom automation and deduplication.
- Understanding of MITRE ATT&CK framework and custom cybersecurity controls mapping.
