When using a cohosted XSOAR instance, a cloud-hosted XSOAR server, or an on-premises XSOAR server that cannot reach part of the network, XSOAR communicates with AssetCentre through an on-premises
Cortex XSOAR XSOAR engine. Although it's possible to install a
Cortex XSOAR engine on machines running Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems, only an engine on a Linux machine supports
Device Security integrations. For more information about operating system and hardware requirements, see the
Cortex Administrator’s Guide.
We recommend downloading the Cortex XSOAR engine using the shell
installer script and installing it on a Linux machine. This simplifies the
deployment by automatically installing all required dependencies and also
enables remote engine upgrades.
When placing the Cortex XSOAR engine on your network, make sure it can form connections to your AssetCentre system on the TCP port on which it’s listening for connection requests. The default port number is TCP 1433.
The on-premises firewall must allow the Cortex XSOAR engine to form
HTTPS connections on TCP port 443 to the Cortex cloud at
https://<your-domain>.iot.demisto.live/. You can see the URL of your
Cortex XSOAR instance when you log in to Device Security
and click Integrations and then click Launch
Cortex XSOAR. It’s visible in the address bar
of the web page displaying the Cortex XSOAR interface.
To create an Cortex XSOAR engine, access the Cortex XSOAR
interface (from Device Security, click
Integrations and then click Launch
Cortex XSOAR). In the Cortex XSOAR UI,
click . Choose
Shell as the type.
