   IoT Security sets the PanwIoTQuarantine host property to on and the XSOAR engine sends it to all configured Forescout instances using the Forescout API:

   https://<Forescout_IP_address>/fsapi/niCore/Hosts

   The instance or instances that have an endpoint with a matching MAC address then take action based on how Forescout administrators choose to use the host property. For example, they might configure Forescout to send a Disconnect-Request message to the switch through which the impacted device accesses the network and disconnects it. When the device reconnects, Forescout assigns the device to a quarantine VLAN where it remains in quarantine while you investigate the cause of the alert. Once it’s resolved, you can then use the

   Release via Forescout

   option.

   After you click Send, a link appears. When you click it, a new browser window opens to the XSOAR playbook for this action.

   For the link in IoT Security to open the corresponding playbook in Cortex XSOAR, you must already be logged in to your XSOAR instance before clicking it.

   The green boxes in the playbook indicate that a particular step was successfully performed. Following the path through the playbook gives you feedback about whether an action was carried out successfully or, if not, where the process changed course.
