    Syslog and API Client Integration on Data Security

    Learn how to configure Data Security to interface with syslog servers and API clients for monitoring and data collection.
    Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
    • Strata Cloud Manager
    • Data Security license
    Or any of the following licenses that include the Data Security license:
    • CASB-X
    • CASB-PA
    You can configure Data Security to interface with syslog servers and API clients. Organizations that have standardized on a specific Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tool can leverage this feature for monitoring, data collection, and other workflows.
    • Syslog Receiver—With a SaaS Security syslog integration, you can add a syslog receiver (for example, Splunk) to enable Data Security to push log information to external syslog servers.
      Data Security supports the following message formats in syslog integration:
      BSD (RFC 3164)
      IETF (RFC 5424)
    • API Client—With a SaaS Security API client integration, you can add a third-party API client (for example, Cortex XSOAR) to pull log information from Data Security and perform incident and remediation actions.
    Data Security currently supports one Syslog receiver AND one API client app with access to log data. So, you can use the two protocols and connect SIEM and SOAR software separately. However, Data Security does not support using multiple Syslog receivers or multiple API clients concurrently. Alternatively, if you want to use both Splunk and Cortex XSOAR, directly connect Splunk to Cortex XSOAR using the Splunk integration, and create a Client ID and Client Secret for Cortex XSOAR to directly connect to Data Security.
