Best Practices & Troubleshooting

✅ Best Practices

  • Secure Token Storage: Use XDR Vault for XSIAM collector tokens
  • Scheduled Scans: Run comprehensive scans during off-peak hours
  • Incremental Deployment: Start with pilot group before full rollout
  • Data Retention: Configure XSIAM retention policies for crypto data
  • Alert Tuning: Adjust correlation rules based on your environment

⚠️ Troubleshooting

Issue: XDR Live Terminal timeout
Solution: Use quick scan mode or schedule via XDR jobs
Issue: XSIAM data not appearing
Solution: Verify collector token, check network connectivity, validate dataset name
Issue: Binary execution blocked
Solution: Add TYCHON to XDR allowlist or code signing exceptions
