      Vectra NDR (syslog)

      Configure Vectra NDR for syslog log forwarding to Radiant Security.

      Overview

      In this guide, you will create a new entry in the Vectra NDR Syslog configuration. This is required in order to send Vectra NDR alerts to Radiant Security with the use of an intermediary syslog relay server for additional security.

      To do this, you’ll need to complete the following configuration steps:

      Add the data connector in Radiant Security

      1.   Log in to Radiant Security.
      2.   From the navigation menu, click Settings > Data Connectors and click + Add Connector.
      3.   Search for and select the Vectra NDR (syslog) option and then click Data Feeds. Screenshot 2025-01-31 at 15.13.34

      5.   Under Credential Name, give the credential an identifiable name (e.g. Vectra NDR Credentials). If you already have a credential in place, select it from the drop-down menu. Click Credentials.

      6.   In the Connector tag field, enter a random value. This value will act as the salt to randomize the unique Token you’ll download in the next step.

      7.   Click Add Connector.

      Important note: Vectra NDR provides network alerts but not event alerts. In case you have Vectra Stream, it is critical to onboard it in order for Radiant Security to ingest the network events that will allow our engine to triage and investigate the Vectra NDR alerts. To onboard Vectra Stream, see the Vectra Stream (syslog) guide.

      Configure a local Radiant Security Agent

      Refer to the Install the Radiant Security Agent guide to set up a local agent to collect the logs.

      Configure syslog forwarding

      In this section, you'll create a new syslog entry on the Vectra platform.

      1.   Login to Vectra (Brain) with admin ID.
      2.   Go to Settings > Notification. In the notification page Scroll to Syslog section.
      3.   Click the Edit option to add a new Syslog destination and enter the following parameters:
      • Destination: <radiantSecuritySiteCollectorIP>
      • Port: <radiantSecuritySiteCollectorVectraNdrPort>
      • Protocol: TCP
      • Format: JSON
