Cisco Secure Endpoint (Formerly AMP) Setup for Workbench

Step 1: Enable Console Access

Expel requires console access to allow analysts to perform investigation and triage. Without this additional level of information, alerts cannot be verified by our analysts and an investigation cannot be initiated. Learn more about why Expel asks for console access.

This procedure creates a user account for Expel that keeps the Expel activity separate from other activity on the Secure Endpoint console.

1. Navigate to Accounts > Users.
2. Click + New User.
3. Configure the user:

   • First Name - enter add "Expel".
   • Last Name - enter add "SOC".
   • Login Email - enter add "soc+<Your_Organization_Name>@expel.io".

     • For example, if your organization were Acme Corp, the format would be "[e-mail]".
   • Select the Administrator checkbox.
4. Click Create.

Step 2: Generate API Credentials

1. Navigate to Accounts > API Credentials.
2. Click +New API Credential.
3. For Application name, enter "expelapi".
4. For Scope, select Read-Only.
5. Click Create.
6. A new page opens with your API Key Details. Save these items as they are not easily accessible later in the process and are needed for onboarding in Workbench.

Step 3: Add Cisco Secure Endpoint as a Security Device in Workbench

Now that you have the correct access configured and noted the credentials, you can integrate your tech with Workbench.

1. ​Log in to Workbench.
2. In the side menu, navigate to Organization Settings > Security Devices.
3. Select Add Security Device.
4. In the search box, type "Cisco" and then select the Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly AMP) integration.

   
5. Configure the fields as follows:

   • Name - enter the host name of the Secure Endpoint device.
   • Location - enter the geographic location of the device.
   • API key and Client ID- enter the API credentials generated in Step 2.
6. Select Save.
7. On the console access screen, select Set up later, as Expel will complete console access configuration with the user you created in Step 1.
8. Select Save.

Your device should be created successfully within a few seconds. A few reminders:

• After your connection is healthy, it will take some time for your device to begin polling and receiving data.
• To check on the status, select the downward arrow for your device in the first column and choose View details.
• Polling will happen first; data will be received after that. You must refresh the page to see updates.
• If your device does not begin polling within 15 minutes, and does not begin receiving data within 30 minutes, contact our support team for help.
• To check if alerts are coming through, navigate to Dashboards > Alert Analysis. Scroll to the device you want to check, and select the Expel Alerts tab to reveal more alert information. It can take 36 to 72 hours for alerts to appear after setup, as we tune your device.
