Integrate IoT Security with Rockwell Automation AssetCentre
Integrate IoT Security with Rockwell Automation AssetCentre to augment the attributes
of devices in the IoT Security inventory.
Where Can I Use This?
What Do I Need?
IoT Security (Managed by IoT Security)
IoT Security subscription for an advanced
IoT Security product (Enterprise Plus, Industrial
OT, or Medical)
One of the following Cortex XSOAR setups:
An IoT Security Third-party Integration Add-on
license that includes a cohosted, limited-featured
Cortex XSOAR instance
AND
A Cortex XSOAR Engine (on-premises integration)
A full-featured Cortex XSOAR server
FactoryTalk AssetCentre is a centralized tool by Rockwell Automation designed
for managing, securing, versioning, tracking, and reporting automation-related assets.
IoT Security integrates through Cortex XSOAR with AssetCentre to import device
attributes from AssetCentre databases. Users can enable recurring imports or manually
initiate bulk imports to match devices based on MAC or IP address. IoT Security matches
the imported devices with those in its inventory by MAC or IP address and augments the
attributes it already has for them with those learned from AssetCentre. If the set of
imported devices includes a device that isn’t yet in its inventory, IoT Security adds
that device if the AssetCentre database includes its MAC address, among other
attributes. If AssetCentre doesn’t have the MAC address of a device that’s new for IoT Security, it’s not imported as an IP endpoint; it’s just not imported at all. IoT Security displays device information that it learns from this integration on the AssetsDevices and Device Details pages.
The integration of IoT Security and Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk AssetCentre
can occur when one or more Palo Alto Networks firewalls are running on the same network
that’s under AssetCentre management. The firewalls send IoT Security network traffic
data logs through the Palo Alto Networks logging service and then IoT Security analyzes
metadata from the logs to discover and identify devices on the network and track their
network behaviors. In addition, IoT Security also supplements this information with the
device attributes it imports through Cortex XSOAR from one or more AssetCentre databases
on Microsoft SQL servers.
Integrating with AssetCentre requires either a full-featured Cortex XSOAR server or the purchase
and activation of an IoT Security
third-party integration add-on license, which comes with a free cohosted Cortex XSOAR instance. The basic plan
includes a license for three integration add-ons, one of which can be used for
AssetCentre. The advanced plan includes a license for all supported third-party
integrations.
