Integrate Prisma Cloud with Cortex XSOAR

Learn how to integrate Prisma® Cloud with Cortex XSOAR (formerly Demisto^®) to send alerts and enable multi-step automated remediation using Cortex XSOAR playbooks.

You can integrate Prisma Cloud and Cortex XSOAR (formerly Demisto) to create an outbound or push-based connection. This integration allows you to send alerts generated by policy violations from Prisma Cloud to Cortex XSOAR. Using this integration, your Security Operations team can define custom or out-of-the-box playbooks on Cortex XSOAR to create multi-step workflows for incident management of your cloud resources that is an alternative to the pull-based integration that you can configure from Cortex XSOAR.

Using the policy ID in the alert, Cortex XSOAR categorizes the alert as a specific incident type. For an incident type, the Prisma Cloud alert payload is mapped to a Cortex XSOAR layout that specifies the incident fields for data classification and mapping on Cortex XSOAR. The current list of incident types is AWS CloudTrail Misconfiguration, AWS EC2 Instance Misconfiguration, AWS IAM Policy Misconfiguration, Azure AKS Misconfiguration, Azure Network Misconfiguration, Azure SQL Misconfiguration, Azure Storage Misconfiguration, GCP Compute Engine Misconfiguration, GCP Kubernetes Engine Misconfiguration, and Prisma Cloud. If the policy ID is not categorized to a specific incident type, it is automatically mapped to the generic Prisma Cloud incident type. Every incident type is mapped to a Cortex XSOAR layout and associated with a playbook to enable autoremediation of the violating resource, except for the generic Prisma Cloud incident type.

On autoremediation, Prisma Cloud performs a scan to detect that the issue is resolved and marks the alert as resolved.

Currently, this integration does not support the use of notification templates and Prisma Cloud does not receive state change notifications from Cortex XSOAR after it resolves an open alert.

Enable the Cortex XSOAR Integration on Prisma Cloud

Set up Cortex XSOAR as an external integration on Prisma Cloud. If you have a firewall or cloud Network Security Group between the internet and Cortex XSOAR, you must ensure network reachability and Enable Access to the Prisma Cloud Console.

For the push-based integration, you must use Cortex XSOAR versions 6.0.0 or 8.0.0 and above, along with the latest Prisma Cloud content pack.

Log in to Prisma Cloud.
Navigate to Settings > Integrations & Notifications.
Select Add Integration > Cortex XSOAR. A modal window opens where you can add the details for Cortex integration.

1. For Xsoar version 6.0, add the following details:
  1. Enter your Cortex XSOAR Instance FQDN/IP address.
    If you are adding a Cortex XSOAR instance that is part of a multi-tenant deployment, enter the tenant URL without the protocol (http or https). For example, enter <yourcortexxsoarinstance>.com without https://www.api- or https://www.
  2. Enter the API Key associated with the Cortex XSOAR administrative user account.
    The API key you provide must belong to a Cortex XSOAR administrative user with read-write permissions required to enable this push-based integration. Within Cortex XSOAR, navigate to Settings > Integrations > API Keys and Get Your Key.
2. For Xsoar version 8.0, add the following details:
  1. Enter your Cortex XSOAR Instance FQDN/IP address.
    If you are adding a Cortex XSOAR instance that is part of a multi-tenant deployment, enter the tenant URL without the protocol (http or https). For example, enter <yourcortexxsoarinstance>.com without https://www.api- or https://www.
  2. Enter the API Key associated with the Cortex XSOAR administrative user account.
    The API key you provide must belong to a Cortex XSOAR administrative user with read-write permissions required to enable this push-based integration. Within Cortex XSOAR, navigate to Settings & Info > Settings > Integrations > API Keys and get your API key.
  3. Enter the API Key ID which is ID number of the API Key.
Click Next, review the Summary and then Test Integration.
Save Integration if the test is successful.
Once you successfully set up the integration, you will find it listed on the Integrations page. You can View, Edit, or Delete the integration from the Actions panel. You can also check the integration status periodically by clicking on the Get Status link.
Modify an existing Alert Rule or create a new Alert Rule to send alert notifications to Cortex XSOAR.
Get your Prisma Cloud Access Key.
If you do not have an access key, see Create and Manage Access Keys. You need the Access Key ID and Secret Key ID to complete the integration on Cortex XSOAR.
Set up the integration on Cortex XSOAR.

Set Up the Integration on Cortex XSOAR

Before you can view Prisma Cloud alerts as incidents on Cortex XSOAR, you need to install the Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks content pack from the Marketplace. The content pack includes the incident fields required for this push-based integration. When you have the content pack, the classifier, incident types, and layouts are available automatically.

Cortex XSOAR maps Prisma Cloud alerts to out-of-the-box incident types such as AWS CloudTrail Misconfiguration, AWS EC2 Instance Misconfiguration, AWS IAM Policy Misconfiguration, Azure AKS Misconfiguration, Azure Network Misconfiguration, Azure SQL Misconfiguration, Azure Storage Misconfiguration, GCP Compute Engine Misconfiguration, GCP Kubernetes Engine Misconfiguration, and Prisma Cloud. If the policy ID is not categorized to a specific incident type, it is automatically mapped to the generic Prisma Cloud incident type by default. The out-of-box, Incident Classifier & Mapping is required for classifying incidents to the correct incident type and mapping the fields in the Prisma Cloud alert payload to the Cortex XSOAR incident fields. When an incident is created, the playbook attached to the incident type automatically executes.

Find all the Cortex XSOAR playbooks that are available to support remediation on Prisma Cloud for example Prisma Cloud Remediation - AWS EC2 Instance Misconfiguration and Prisma Cloud Remediation - GCP VPC Network Misconfiguration; search for playbook-PCR_ .

If you want to use the pull-based integration from Cortex XSOAR, see Cortex documentation. In a pull-based integration, you must enable the instance to Fetches incidents.
