The Trend Micro Deep Discovery Analyzer Custom Property Extension adds two new properties for administrators. 'Device IP' and 'Device MAC address' are new custom properties created for administrators who want to search for events using an IP address or MAC address. Trend Micro Deep Discovery Analyzer reports Syslog event data to QRadar for the following event types: malware, suspicious activity, system events, and more. It is recommended that administrators install this custom property extension to ensure that device addresses are parsing as intended with the Trend Micro Deep Discovery Analyzer DSM.
