Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)

A HIP Profile is a collection of host information profile objects that are evaluated together, either for monitoring or for security policy enforcement. When you create your HIP Profiles, you can combine the HIP objects and HIP Profiles you previously created by using Boolean logic, such that when a traffic flow is evaluated against the resulting HIP Profile, it either matches or does not match. If there is a match, the corresponding policy rule is enforced. If there is no match, the flow is evaluated against the next rule, as with any other policy matching criteria.
  1. From Strata Cloud Manager, select WorkflowsPrisma Access SetupAccess AgentPrisma Access Agent.
  2. Edit the Global Agent Settings.
  3. Select HIP Notifications and click Add.
  4. Click Create HIP Profile.
  5. Enter a Name and Description to identify the profile.
  6. Click within the Match field to open the HIP Profile builder.
    1. Select the HIP object or profile that you want to use as match criteria from the list.
    2. Select a Boolean operator (And, And). If you want the HIP Profile to evaluate the object as a match only when the criteria in the object are not true for a flow, select the Not check box before adding the object.
    3. Select another HIP object or profile to evaluate against the first HIP object.
  7. Continue adding match criteria for the profile that you're building, making sure to select the appropriate Boolean operator radio button (And or And) between each addition, and using the Not check box when appropriate. The HIP Profile can contain up to 2,048 characters in length.
  8. When creating a complex Boolean expression, you must manually add the parenthesis in the proper places in the Match text box to ensure that the HIP Profile is evaluated using the logic you intend.
  9. Save and Add your HIP Profile.
  10. To manage your HIP Profiles, you can select an existing profile from the HIP Notifications table or click Add in the Edit Global Agent Settings page to open the HIP Notifications window.
    From there, click Manage HIP Profile to view the list of HIP Profiles that you have configured. You can select a HIP Profile and Delete, Clone, or Move it. You can also Add a HIP Profile from here.
