Trend Vision One extended detection and response (XDR) file collection

File collection lets you collect objects directly from the Trend Vision One extended detection and response (XDR) interface.

If you connect your agents and relays to the primary security update source via a proxy, file collection automatically uses the same proxy settings.

Requirements

• Install the agent version 20.0.0-2204 or later for Windows or Linux
• Register with Trend Micro Vision One extended detection and response (XDR)
• Forward security events to Trend Micro Vision One extended detection and response (XDR)
• Enable Activity Monitoring

Workload Security uses an IoT mechanism to transmit messages and events to Trend Vision One. If you need to restrict the URLs allowed in your environment, configure your firewall to include the Event Channel - XDR Activity Monitoring FQDNs from the Workload Security URLs table.

Collect objects using file collection

To collect objects using file collection:

1. Trigger File Collection
2. Create a File Collection task
3. Monitor task status
4. Download sample file

Trigger file collection

After identifying the object that you want to collect, you can trigger file collection from either of the following:

From the Trend Vision One Search App :

1. Right-click on one of the following from Search App events:
   • processFilePath
   • objectFilePath
   • parentFilePath
2. Select Collect File.

The Collect File Task window appears.

From the Trend Vision One Workbench (under XDR ):

Right-click the file icon for the object you want to collect and select Collect File.

The Collect File Task window appears.

Create a File Collection Task

1. From the Collect File Task window, select the checkbox for the task.
2. Optionally, enter a description for the response or event.
3. Select Create.

A Security Agent begins creating the task.

A Security Agent typically creates a collect file task within 20 minutes. If the Security Agent is offline, the task is queued until the Security Agent comes online.

Monitor task status

You can monitor tasks from the Response Management tab.

Task statuses include:

• In progress: Trend Vision One sent the command to the managing server and is waiting for a response.
• Queued: The server queued the command due to a high volume of requests or because the Security Agent was offline.
• Successful: The managing server successfully received the command.
• Unsuccessful: An error or time-out occurred when attempting to send the command to the managing server.

Download sample file

Downloading samples could harm your endpoint. Trend Vision One automatically stores sample files in a password-protected ZIP archive. Please ensure that you take the necessary precautions before continuing.

1. In the Response Management tab, select Collect File from the menu and select download .
2. In the dialog, select Download.
3. In the Download File window, record the password for the archived sample.
4. Select Download to download the file.
