Integration Status with Prisma Access
Check the integration of
IoT Security
with Prisma Access
on the Sites and Firewalls pages in the IoT Security
portal.In the
IoT Security
portal, the Sites and Firewalls pages provide the status of next-generation
firewalls with active IoT Security
subscriptions. They show the total number of
firewalls at each site, the connection status of each firewall, the total number of log
events they’ve forwarded to logging services, and the types of logs they’re sending.
However, when Prisma Access
subscribes to IoT Security
through the IoT Security
add-on,
the information displayed on these pages is unlike that shown for next-generation
firewalls.Sites
When
Prisma Access
is using an IoT Security
add-on, the site name for it on the page is simply “Prisma Access
”. Whether a single Prisma Access
instance is protecting one or a hundred remote sites, IoT Security
remains unaware
of their number. From the perspective of IoT Security
, the numbers of devices and
IoT devices come from a single Prisma Access
entity regardless of how many remote
sites it protects.The following screen capture
shows a mixed deployment of
Prisma Access
and several sites with
on-premises next-generation firewalls for comparison.
The Sites page contains
the following types of information for
Prisma Access
:Status
: A green cloud means that IoT Security
is connected to Prisma Access
and
is receiving logs. A red cloud with a line through it means that IoT Security
does not detect logs forwarded from Prisma Access
to Cortex
Data Lake
.Name
: Prisma Access
Location
: This is the site location, if a location was previously defined.Devices
:
This is the total number of devices that IoT Security
identified
across all remote sites under Prisma Access
protection.IoT Devices
: This is the total number of IoT devices that Prisma Access
identified
across all its remote sites. This is a subset of the total shown in the Devices
column.Risk
: This
is the overall risk score calculated for all IoT devices protected
by Prisma Access
.Subnets
: These are the subnets across all Prisma Access
remote sites. Because IoT Security
has no visibility into how many sites Prisma Access
is
protecting, this might come from a single site with a single subnet, a single site
with multiple subnets, multiple sites each with a single unique subnet, multiple
sites with multiple subnets, or any combination of these scenarios.Group
: This indicates the group within the hierarchical site organization where
the site is positioned.Source
: If IoT Security
has a third-party integration with BlueCat IPAM or
Infoblox IPAM and learns site names from there, the name of the integration appears
here. When a third-party integration isn't how IoT Security
learned of a site, a
dash appears here.Firewalls
This page () is not particularly applicable to
Prisma Access
. If you are
using IoT Security
exclusively with Prisma Access
, the top of the page
shows a total of two sites, one for Prisma Access
and one for the default site,
which is where IoT Security
initially assigns on-premises firewalls. The
Active and Inactive status will be 1 or 0 depending on whether IoT Security
detects any logs from Prisma Access
to Cortex
Data Lake
in the last
30 minutes.IoT Security
displays the number of system alerts
relating to Prisma Access
. These pertain to the reception of requests
from Prisma Access
for policy recommendations and IP address-to-device
mappings. For example:IoT Security
hasn't received any requests for policy recommendations in
the past 30 minutes.IoT Security
is receiving requests for IP address-to-device mappings again.Click the number of system alerts at the top of the Firewalls page to open to see them. The source for
Prisma Access
system alerts is
always All firewalls
.The rest of the Firewalls page doesn’t have any data relevant to
Prisma Access
.If
your deployment includes a mix of
Prisma Access
and on-premises
next-generation firewalls, then this page contains the information
mentioned above for Prisma Access
and much more information about
firewalls and the logs they provide.
