Abstract

Before configuring the Cortex XDR API connector in Cortex Xpanse, generate an API key in Cortex XDR.

Before configuring the Cortex XDR API connector in Cortex Xpanse, you must generate an API key in Cortex XDR. While generating the API key, gather the following information which will be required to create the API connector:

  • Cortex XDR API key

  • Cortex XDR API key ID

  • URL for your Cortex XDR instance

  1. Within Cortex XDR, click the gear icon in the top menu bar and select Configurations.

  2. In the Configurations menu, select API Keys, which appears in the Integrations section.

  3. In the API Keys window, click the +New Key button to create a new API key.

    The Generate API Key window will open.

  4. Select the Standard Security Level.

  5. Select a role for the API key. The Cortex Xpanse integration with Cortex XDR requires a role with Endpoint Management permission under Views. After selecting the role, click Generate.

  6. After you’ve generated the key, copy the API key value presented and keep it secure.

  7. Return to the API Keys window, and select the API key you just generated. Click the Copy URL button to copy the URL for your Cortex XDR instance. Also make note of the API key ID, which appears in the API Keys table.

After completing these steps and collecting the relevant information, you are ready to create the Cortex XDR API connector in Cortex Xpanse.
