Put a Device in Quarantine Using Forescout

the page. You can also do this in the
Action menu in the Alerts section on a Device Details page.

Click Send.IoT Security sets the PanwIoTQuarantine host property to on and the XSOAR engine sends it to all configured Forescout instances using the Forescout API:https://<Forescout_IP_address>/fsapi/niCore/HostsThe instance or instances that have an endpoint with a matching MAC address then take action based on how Forescout administrators choose to use the host property. For example, they might configure Forescout to send a Disconnect-Request message to the switch through which the impacted device accesses the network and disconnects it. When the device reconnects, Forescout assigns the device to a quarantine VLAN where it remains in quarantine while you investigate the cause of the alert. Once it’s resolved, you can then use the Release via Forescoutoption.After you click Send, a link appears. When you click it, a new browser window opens to the XSOAR playbook for this action.![]()
