]
deploy_certscanner_bulk(target_devices, "comprehensive")

Method 2: Custom IOA Rules for Automation

2.1 Create Custom IOA Rule

Create custom Indicator of Attack (IOA) rule to trigger automated crypto scanning:

{
  "rule_name": "TYCHON Quantum Readiness-Crypto-Assessment-Trigger",
  "description": "Trigger TYCHON Quantum Readiness execution for crypto asset discovery",
  "rule_type": "custom_ioa",
  "severity": "informational",
  "triggers": [
    {
      "event_type": "ProcessRollup2",
      "conditions": [
        {
          "field": "ImageFileName", 
          "operator": "contains",
          "value": ["nginx", "apache", "iis", "openssl", "certlm.msc"]
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "event_type": "NetworkConnect",
      "conditions": [
        {
          "field": "RemotePort",
          "operator": "equals", 
          "value": [443, 993, 995, 636, 8443]
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "actions": [
    {
      "type": "rtr_script_execution",
      "script": "CrowdStrike-TYCHON Quantum Readiness-Deploy.ps1",
      "parameters": "-ScanMode incident-response",
      "timeout": 300
    },
    {
      "type": "alert_generation",
      "message": "Crypto assessment triggered by certificate-related activity"
    }
  ]
}

2.2 Scheduled Crypto Scanning IOA

Scheduled IOA rule for regular cryptographic compliance checking:

{
  "rule_name": "TYCHON Quantum Readiness-Weekly-Compliance-Check",
  "description": "Weekly crypto compliance assessment via TYCHON Quantum Readiness",
  "rule_type": "scheduled_ioa", 
  "schedule": {
    "frequency": "weekly",
    "day": "sunday",
    "time": "02:00",
    "timezone": "UTC"
  },
  "target_criteria": [
    {
      "field": "device_type",
      "operator": "in",
      "value": ["Server", "Workstation", "Domain Controller"]
    },
    {
      "field": "platform",
      "operator": "in", 
      "value": ["Windows", "Linux", "Mac"]
    }
  ],
  "actions": [
    {
      "type": "rtr_script_execution",
      "script": "CrowdStrike-TYCHON Quantum Readiness-Deploy.ps1",
      "parameters": "-ScanMode comprehensive -LogScaleToken $LOGSCALE_TOKEN",
      "concurrent_limit": 50
    }
  ]
}

Step 3: Falcon LogScale SIEM Integration

3.1 LogScale Data Ingestion

Configure TYCHON Quantum Readiness results streaming to Falcon LogScale:

# LogScale ingestion function
function Send-ToLogScale {
    param(
        [string]$LogScaleToken,
        [string]$Repository = "crypto-intelligence", 
        [object]$ScanData
    )
    
    $LogScaleURL = "https://cloud.humio.com/api/v1/ingest/hec"
    
    # Format for LogScale ingestion
    $LogEntry = @{
        time = Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ"
        source = "crowdstrike-certscanner"
        sourcetype = "crypto_scan"
        host = $env:COMPUTERNAME
        event = $ScanData
        fields = @{
            falcon_cid = $env:FALCON_CID
            deployment_method = "crowdstrike-rtr"
            scan_engine = "certscanner-1.0.42"
        }
    } | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10 -Compress
    
    $Headers = @{
        "Authorization" = "Bearer $LogScaleToken"
        "Content-Type" = "application/json"
    }
    
    try {
        Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $LogScaleURL -Method Post -Body $LogEntry -Headers $Headers
        return $true
    } catch {
        Write-Warning "LogScale ingestion failed: $($_.Exception.Message)"
        return $false
    }
}

# Usage in main script
$Results = Get-Content $ResultsPath | ConvertFrom-Json
foreach ($Result in $Results) {
    Send-ToLogScale -LogScaleToken $LogScaleToken -ScanData $Result
}

3.2 LogScale Query Examples

Falcon LogScale queries for analyzing TYCHON Quantum Readiness data:

// Find all TYCHON Quantum Readiness results from CrowdStrike deployment
source=crowdstrike-certscanner 
| where deployment_method = "crowdstrike-rtr"
| stats count by host, scan_mode
| sort -count

// Identify PQC-vulnerable endpoints discovered via CrowdStrike
source=crowdstrike-certscanner
| where event.tychon.pqc_vulnerable = true
| stats count as vulnerable_assets by host, event.cipher.name
| sort -vulnerable_assets

// Monitor certificate expiration across Falcon-managed endpoints  
source=crowdstrike-certscanner
| where event.certificate.not_after != null
| eval days_until_expiry = (parseTimestamp(event.certificate.not_after) - now()) / 86400000
| where days_until_expiry < 90
| stats count by host, event.certificate.subject.common_name
| sort days_until_expiry

// Crypto library discovery timeline
source=crowdstrike-certscanner
| where event.library.name != null  
| timechart span=1d count by event.library.name
| sort _time

// Real-time crypto security dashboard
source=crowdstrike-certscanner
| where @timestamp > now() - 24h
| stats 
    dc(host) as endpoints_scanned,
    sum(event.assets_count) as total_crypto_assets,
    countif(event.tychon.pqc_vulnerable=true) as pqc_vulnerable,
    countif(event.certificate.not_after < now() + 90d) as expiring_soon
| eval pqc_vulnerability_rate = round((pqc_vulnerable / endpoints_scanned) * 100, 2)
| fields endpoints_scanned, total_crypto_assets, pqc_vulnerable, pqc_vulnerability_rate, expiring_soon

3.3 LogScale Dashboards

Create executive dashboards in Falcon LogScale for crypto posture monitoring:

Crypto Security Overview Dashboard

// Widget 1: Endpoint Crypto Coverage
source=crowdstrike-certscanner
| stats latest(@timestamp) as last_scan by host
| eval scan_status = if(last_scan > now() - 7d, "current", "stale")
| stats count by scan_status
| rename count as endpoints

// Widget 2: PQC Readiness by Platform  
source=crowdstrike-certscanner
| stats 
    countif(event.tychon.pqc_vulnerable=false) as pqc_ready,
    countif(event.tychon.pqc_vulnerable=true) as pqc_vulnerable
  by event.observer.os
| eval pqc_readiness_percent = round((pqc_ready / (pqc_ready + pqc_vulnerable)) * 100, 1)

// Widget 3: Certificate Expiration Heatmap
source=crowdstrike-certscanner  
| where event.certificate.not_after != null
| eval expiry_date = parseTimestamp(event.certificate.not_after)
| eval days_until_expiry = (expiry_date - now()) / 86400000
| where days_until_expiry >= 0 and days_until_expiry <= 365
| eval expiry_bucket = case(
    days_until_expiry <= 30, "Critical (0-30 days)",
    days_until_expiry <= 90, "Warning (31-90 days)", 
    days_until_expiry <= 180, "Notice (91-180 days)",
    days_until_expiry <= 365, "Monitor (181-365 days)"
  )
| stats count by expiry_bucket, host

Step 4: Automation Workflows

4.1 Falcon Workflow Integration

Create Falcon workflows that trigger TYCHON Quantum Readiness execution based on security events:

# Falcon Workflow: Certificate-Related Security Event Response
name: "Crypto-Assessment-Workflow"
description: "Automated crypto scanning triggered by certificate-related security events"

triggers:
  - detection_type: "Certificate Store Access"
  - detection_type: "TLS Handshake Anomaly" 
  - detection_type: "New Certificate Installation"
  - detection_type: "Crypto Library Loading"

conditions:
  - endpoint_type: ["Server", "Workstation"]
  - risk_score: "> 50"
  - containment_status: "not_contained"

actions:
  - name: "execute_certscanner"
    type: "rtr_script"
    script: "CrowdStrike-TYCHON Quantum Readiness-Deploy.ps1"
    parameters: "-ScanMode incident-response -Priority high"
    timeout: 300
    
  - name: "create_incident"  
    type: "falcon_incident"
    title: "Crypto Security Assessment - {{ endpoint.hostname }}"
    description: "Automated crypto scan triggered by detection: {{ detection.name }}"
    
  - name: "notify_team"
    type: "webhook"
    url: "https://company.webhook.office.com/teams-crypto-alerts"
    payload: |
      {
        "endpoint": "{{ endpoint.hostname }}",
        "detection": "{{ detection.name }}",
        "scan_status": "initiated",
        "timestamp": "{{ timestamp }}"
      }

4.2 Continuous Monitoring Workflow

Workflow for continuous crypto posture monitoring across the Falcon-managed fleet:

# Falcon Workflow: Continuous Crypto Monitoring
name: "Continuous-Crypto-Monitoring"
description: "Regular crypto scanning for compliance and security monitoring"

schedule:
  frequency: "weekly"
  day: "sunday"
  time: "01:00"
  timezone: "UTC"

target_selection:
  criteria:
    - last_crypto_scan: "> 7 days ago"
    - device_status: "online"
    - platform: ["Windows", "Linux", "Mac"]
  
  exclusions:
    - device_type: "Mobile"
    - containment_status: "contained"

batch_processing:
  batch_size: 25
  delay_between_batches: "5 minutes"
  max_concurrent: 10

actions:
  - name: "execute_comprehensive_scan"
    type: "rtr_script"
    script: "CrowdStrike-TYCHON Quantum Readiness-Deploy.ps1" 
    parameters: "-ScanMode comprehensive -LogScaleToken {{ secrets.logscale_token }}"
    
  - name: "update_device_attributes"
    type: "falcon_device_update"
    attributes:
      last_crypto_scan: "{{ timestamp }}"
      crypto_scan_status: "{{ execution.status }}"
      
  - name: "compliance_reporting"
    type: "logscale_query"
    query: |
      source=crowdstrike-certscanner host={{ endpoint.hostname }}
      | stats latest(event.tychon.pqc_vulnerable) as pqc_status by host
      | where pqc_status = true

Enterprise Integration Scenarios

Scenario 1: Threat Hunting Integration

Integrate TYCHON Quantum Readiness with Falcon threat hunting workflows:

Threat Hunt: Crypto Supply Chain

// Hunt for suspicious crypto implementations
event_simpleName="ProcessRollup2" 
| where FileName in ("openssl.exe", "certutil.exe", "makecert.exe")
| join(
    source=crowdstrike-certscanner host=ComputerName
    | where event.library.name contains "ssl"
  ) on ComputerName  
| stats count by ComputerName, FileName, event.library.company_name
| where event.library.company_name != "Microsoft Corporation"

Hunt: Rogue Certificate Authorities

// Identify unusual certificate issuers
source=crowdstrike-certscanner
| where event.certificate.issuer.common_name != null
| stats count by event.certificate.issuer.common_name, host
| where count < 5  // Rare issuers
| where event.certificate.issuer.common_name not in ("DigiCert", "Let's Encrypt", "GlobalSign")

Scenario 2: Incident Response Automation

Automated crypto forensics during security incidents:

# Falcon API automation for incident response
import requests

    def trigger_crypto_assessment(self, incident_id, affected_hosts):
        """Trigger immediate crypto assessment for incident response"""
        
        print(f"🚨 Starting crypto assessment for incident: {incident_id}")
        
        results = []
        for host in affected_hosts:
            # Get device ID from hostname
            device_id = self.get_device_id(host)
            if not device_id:
                continue
                
            # Execute high-priority TYCHON Quantum Readiness via RTR

Deployment Examples

Quick Assessment

Rapid crypto assessment via RTR console:

# Connect to endpoint
connect server-critical-01

# Upload and execute quick scan
put certscanner-windows-amd64.exe
runscript -CloudFile="CrowdStrike-TYCHON Quantum Readiness-Deploy.ps1" -CommandLine="-ScanMode quick"

# Retrieve results
get crypto-results.ndjson

# View summary
cat crypto-results.ndjson | findstr "pqc_vulnerable.*true"

Fleet-Wide Assessment

Organization-wide crypto posture assessment:

# Bulk deployment across Falcon fleet
import falconpy

falcon = falconpy.RealTimeResponse(
    client_id="your-client-id",
    client_secret="your-client-secret"
)

# Get all online Windows servers
devices = falcon.query_devices_by_filter(
    filter="platform_name:'Windows' + device_type:'Server' + state:'online'"
)

# Deploy to all devices
for device_id in devices["body"]["resources"]:
    session = falcon.init_session(device_id=device_id)
    
    falcon.execute_command(
        session_id=session["body"]["resources"][0]["session_id"],
        command_string="runscript -CloudFile='CrowdStrike-TYCHON Quantum Readiness-Deploy.ps1' -CommandLine='-ScanMode comprehensive'"
    )

Best Practices & Troubleshooting

CrowdStrike Best Practices

  • RTR Session Limits: Monitor concurrent RTR sessions to avoid platform limits
  • Script Optimization: Use efficient PowerShell to minimize execution time
  • Batch Processing: Deploy in waves to prevent overwhelming endpoints
  • Result Cleanup: Configure automatic cleanup of temporary scan files
  • Error Handling: Implement robust error handling and reporting

Common Issues & Solutions

Issue: RTR script execution timeout
Solution: Increase timeout, use quick scan mode, or split into multiple operations
Issue: Binary upload blocked by Falcon prevention policies
Solution: Add TYCHON Quantum Readiness to prevention policy exclusions or use signed executable
Issue: LogScale ingestion rate limits
Solution: Implement batching and exponential backoff for result transmission

Performance Optimization

  • Staged Deployment: Use device groups for controlled rollout
  • Off-Peak Execution: Schedule during maintenance windows
  • Resource Monitoring: Monitor endpoint CPU/memory during scans
  • Network Optimization: Cache binaries locally after first deployment
