Set up
IoT Security
and XSOAR for AIMS Integration

Set up
IoT Security
and
Cortex XSOAR
to integrate with AIMS.
To set up
IoT Security
to integrate through
Cortex XSOAR
with an on-premises AIMS system, you must install an XSOAR engine to your network.
You must also configure the AIMS integration instance in XSOAR and two jobs that pull data from AIMS through XSOAR to
IoT Security
:
  • A facility job that periodically pulls employee and priority information
  • A job that imports device data
To do this, you need the URL of your AIMS system, the port number on which it listens for connection requests, and the username and password of the AIMS user account that the XSOAR engine will use when forming a secure connection with Rapid7.

Cortex XSOAR
Engine Installation

When the AIMS system is on premises, you must install an XSOAR engine to facilitate communications between the AIMS system and
Cortex XSOAR
cloud. Although it's possible to install an XSOAR engine on machines running Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems, only an engine on a Linux machine supports
IoT Security
integrations. For more information about operating system and hardware requirements, see the Cortex Administrator’s Guide.
We recommend downloading the 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 XSOAR engine on your network, make sure it can form connections to your AIMS system on the TCP port on which it’s listening for connection requests. The default port number is TCP 443.
The firewall must also allow the 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 XSOAR instance when you log in to the
IoT Security
portal and click
Integrations
Launch
Cortex XSOAR
. It’s visible in the address bar of the web page displaying the XSOAR interface.
To create an XSOAR engine, access the
Cortex XSOAR
interface (from the
IoT Security
portal, click
Integrations
Launch
Cortex XSOAR
). Click
Settings
Engines
+ Create New Engine
. Choose
Shell
as the type.
For installation instructions, see Install .
For help troubleshooting
Cortex XSOAR
engines, including installations, upgrades, connectivity, and permissions, see Troubleshoot and Troubleshoot Integrations Running on Engines.

Configure
IoT Security
and
Cortex XSOAR

  1. Log in to
    IoT Security
    and then access AIMS settings in
    Cortex XSOAR
    .
    1. Log in to
      IoT Security
      and then click
      Integrations
      .
    2. IoT Security
      uses
      Cortex XSOAR
      to integrate with AIMS, and the settings you must configure to integrate with it are in the XSOAR interface. To access these settings, click
      Launch
      Cortex XSOAR
      .
      The
      Cortex XSOAR
      interface opens in a new browser window.
    3. Click
      Settings
      in the left navigation menu, search for
      aims
      to locate it among other instances.
  2. Configure an AIMS integration instance.
    1. Click
      Add instance
      to open the settings panel.
    2. Enter the following and leave other settings at their default values:
      Name
      : Use the default name of the instance (AIMS_instance_1) or enter a new one.
      Remember the instance name because you are going to use it again when creating jobs that
      Cortex XSOAR
      will run.
      AIMS Server (IP or hostname)
      : Enter IP address or domain name of the AIMS server followed by the port number on which it listens for connection requests. By default, it listens on TCP port 443. For example:
      10.1.1.150:443
      Auth Token
      : Enter the client ID that you recorded earlier when setting up AIMS.
      Trust any certificate (not secure)
      : (select)
      Use single engine
      : For cloud-based AIMS systems, choose
      No engine
      . For on-premises AIMS systems, choose the XSOAR engine that you previously installed.
    3. When finished, click
      Run test
      or
      Test
      .
      If the test is successful, a Success message appears. If not, check that the settings were entered correctly and then test the configuration again.
    4. After the test succeeds, click
      Save & exit
      to save your changes and close the settings panel.
  3. To enable the AIMS integration instance, click
    Enable
    .
  4. Create a job that retrieves device data from AIMS through XSOAR to
    IoT Security
    .
    This job regularly imports device data from AIMS through
    Cortex XSOAR
    to
    IoT Security
    .
    1. Click
      Jobs
      near the bottom of the left navigation menu to open the Jobs page.
    2. Click
      New Job
      at the top of the Jobs page.
    3. Enter the following, leave the other fields at their default values:
      Name
      : Type a name for the job such as
      AIMS device retrieval
      .
      Time triggered
      : (select)
      Recurring
      : (select)
      • Every
        : Enter the number of hours, minutes, days, or weeks to check AIMS for device data. Typically, shorter intervals provide more timely updates for active networks. However, for large networks, more frequent updates might exacerbate an already heavy traffic load. Weigh the two factors of activity and size when deciding and remember that you can always edit the playbook later to adjust this setting.
      • On
        : Select the days of the week that this job will run, or leave them unselected to run everyday.
      Playbook
      :
      Export AIMS maps and devices to PANW IoT
      Integration Instance Name
      : Enter the name of the AIMS integration instance you defined earlier. For example:
    4. When complete,
      Create new job
      .
  5. Create a job that periodically retrieves work order assignee and priority lists from AIMS.
    This retrieves a list of employees and work order priority levels that populate fields in the Send Work Order dialog box in the
    IoT Security
    portal. This allows the
    IoT Security
    user to select this information when generating AIMS work orders to investigate security incidents.
    1. On the Jobs list, click
      New Job
      at the top of the Jobs page.
    2. Enter the following, leave the other fields at their default values:
      Name
      : Type a name for the job such as
      AIMS assignee and priority lists retrieval
      .
      Time triggered
      : (select)
      Recurring
      : (select)
      • Every
        : Enter the number of hours, minutes, days, or weeks to retrieve AIMS employee and work order priority lists.
      • On
        : Select the days of the week that this job will run, or leave them unselected to run everyday.
      Playbook
      :
      Export AIMS assignee and priority list to PANW IoT
      Integration Instance Name
      : Enter the name of the AIMS integration instance you defined earlier. For example:
      AIMS_instance_1
  6. When complete,
    Create new job
    .
    Run a job for each integration instance you create. The first time you run a job that references an integration instance triggers XSOAR to report the instance to
    IoT Security
    , which then displays the integration instance on the Integrations page.
