Quarantine a Device Using Aruba ClearPass

Use the IoT Security integration with Aruba ClearPass to quarantine devices of concern.
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
Through the IoT Security integration with Aruba ClearPass, you can send a request to Aruba ClearPass to quarantine devices or to remove devices from quarantine.

Put a Device in Quarantine Using Aruba ClearPass

If you want to quarantine a device because you saw an alert that concerns you, use the quarantine option on the AlertsSecurity Alerts page. You can also do this in the Action menu in the Alerts section on a Device Details page.
  1. Select an alert on AlertsSecurity Alerts in the IoT Security portal.
  2. Click MoreSend toQuarantine via Aruba ClearPass.
  3. Add a comment.
    After you enter a comment, the Send button changes from gray to blue, indicating that you can proceed.
  4. Click Send.
    IoT Security sends a command through Cortex XSOAR to all configured Aruba ClearPass instances to assign the device to a quarantine VLAN. The instance or instances that have an endpoint with a matching MAC address apply the quarantine. The device remains in quarantine while you investigate the cause of the alert. Once it’s resolved, you can then use the Release via Aruba ClearPass option.
    After you click Send, a link appears. When you click it, a new browser window opens to the XSOAR playbook for this action.
    To confirm that the quarantine command was sent, click the link 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.

Removing a device from quarantine is the same procedure as putting it in quarantine except that you select MoreSend toRelease via Aruba ClearPass on the AlertsSecurity Alerts page. This option is also available in the Action menu in the Alerts sections on a Device Details page.
