Quarantine Files

post /public_api/v1/endpoints/quarantine

Quarantine file on selected endpoints. You can select up to 1000 endpoints.

Note: A success response means that the request reached the defined endpoints, however if the file was not found there, no quarantine action will take place. To ensure if the file has been quarantined, check the Cortex XDR Action Center.

When filtering by multiple fields:

Response is concatenated using AND condition (OR is not supported).
Maximum result set size is 1000.
Offset is the zero-based number of incidents from the start of the result set.

Request headers

Authorization String required

{api_key}

Example: authorization_example

x-xdr-auth-id String required

{api_key_id}

Example: xXdrAuthId_example

Accept-Encoding String
