Silene Silene

Import your security alerts and vulnerabilities from Silene (ANSSI)

The Silene connector allows you to import your security alerts and vulnerability bulletins from the French Silene platform (managed by ANSSI).

Objective

The Silene connector allows you to import the following information:

  • French government security alerts
  • ANSSI vulnerability bulletins
  • Security recommendations

Prerequisites

  • Access to the Silene platform (ANSSI)
  • JSON export files from Silene

Procedure

Generate the Silene export file

  1. Access the Silene platform managed by ANSSI.
  2. Authenticate with your credentials.
  3. Navigate to Alerts or Vulnerability Bulletins.
  4. Select the alerts or bulletins to export.
  5. Click Export and choose the JSON format.
  6. The file will be downloaded in .json format.

Import into OverView

  1. In OverView, go to Data Sources Settings > Sources.
  2. Select Silene and click Configure.
  3. Drop your .json file in the upload area.
  4. Click Save Configuration.

OverView will automatically import security alerts and government vulnerability information.

Synchronization frequency

Silene exports can be scheduled regularly via:

  • Manual review of ANSSI bulletins
  • Integration with your cybersecurity watchlist system
  • Subscription to Silene updates

Uploading files through DropPoint

Files for the Silene connector are stored in a dedicated S3 bucket named silene. Drop your CSV (or JSON) files at the root of s3://silene/: OverView automatically detects new files and imports them on the next synchronization.

Where do the files go?

Bucket : s3://silene/

Example : s3://silene/export.csv

Several ways to send your files

You can populate your bucket in several ways:

  • OverView web interface — import your files, configure the mapping, then click “Replace” to refresh the data without redoing the mapping.
  • AWS CLI — for a one-off or scripted upload.
  • S3 SDK (boto3, etc.) — to fully automate recurring imports.

Using the AWS CLI

# Upload a file to the silene bucket
aws s3 cp export.csv s3://silene/export.csv --profile ovs_your_org

# Or sync a whole local folder
aws s3 sync ./exports/ s3://silene/ --profile ovs_your_org

Automating the import via S3

import boto3

s3 = boto3.client(
    "s3",
    endpoint_url="https://s3.oversoc.com",
    region_name="fr-par",
    aws_access_key_id="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY",
    aws_secret_access_key="YOUR_SECRET_KEY",
)

# Push the export into the silene bucket
s3.upload_file("export.csv", "silene", "export.csv")

Pair this script with a scheduled task (cron on Linux, Task Scheduler on Windows) to push your exports automatically at a regular interval. Each upload triggers a new import on the OverView side.

Prerequisite: generate your S3 credentials and configure your client (endpoint, profile) as described in the OverView DropPoint guide. The profile and endpoint used here are explained there.
