    Onboard a Box App to SSPM

    Connect a Box instance to SSPM to detect posture risks.
    For SSPM to detect posture risks in your Box instance, you must onboard your Box instance to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM logs in to Box using administrator account credentials. SSPM uses this account to scan your Box instance for misconfigured settings. If there are misconfigured settings, SSPM suggests a remediation action based on best practices.
    During the onboarding process, you will supply Box account credentials to SSPM. SSPM can access the account directly or through the Okta identity provider. Having SSPM access the account through Okta requires MFA, which adds an extra layer of security.
    To onboard your Box instance, you complete the following actions:

    Collect Information for Connecting to Your Box Instance

    To access your Box instance, SSPM requires the following information, which you will specify during the onboarding process.
    Item
    Description
    Username
    The username of the administrator account.
    (
    Required Permissions
    ) The user must be a Box administrator.
    Password
    The password for the administrator account.
    If you are logging in through Okta, you must provide SSPM with the following additional information:
    Item
    Description
    Okta subdomain
    The Okta subdomain for your organization. The subdomain was included in the login URL that Okta assigned to your organization.
    Okta 2FA secret
    A key that is used to generate one-time passcodes for MFA.
    As you complete the following steps, make note of the values of the items described in the preceding tables. You will need to enter these values during onboarding to access your Box instance from SSPM.
    1. Identify the administrator account that SSPM will use to access your Box instance. The user account must have administrator privileges in Box. SSPM needs this administrator access to monitor your Box instance.
