Abstract

Follow the Alibaba Cloud onboarding wizard and Cortex XDR creates a custom CloudFormation authentication template to be deployed in Alibaba Cloud.

Notice

Requires a Cortex XDR license that has the Cloud Posture Security or Cloud Runtime Security add-on.

Use the cloud onboarding wizard to integrate an Alibaba Cloud environment with Cortex XDR. The onboarding wizard requires minimal configuration to set up the integration. You can optionally define the scope of the Alibaba regions and have tags automatically added to any new resources created by Cortex XDR.

Cortex XDR generates a Terraform authentication template based on the configuration settings. The authentication template grants required permissions to Cortex XDR. Execute the authentication template in Alibaba Cloud and then manually connect the cloud instance to complete the onboarding process.
