ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 Setup for Workbench

Prerequisites

  1. You must have System and Access Administration privileges in ExtraHop to perform the steps in this guide.

Step 1: Enable API Access for Reveal(x) 360

Please ensure you have met the prerequisites before proceeding with this step.

The first step is to create API credentials so that Expel can make REST calls and start receiving alerts.

  1. Log in to Reveal(X) 360.

  2. Navigate to the System Settings icon at the top right of the page and select All Administration.

  3. Select API Access.

  4. In the Manage API Access section, select Enable.

  5. Select Create Credentials.

  6. In the Create Rest API Credentials section, configure the following:

    • Name - enter a name for the credential, for example, “Expel SOC”.

    • System access - Full read-only.

    • NDR Module Access - Full access.

    • NPM Module Access - Full access.

    • Packet and Session Key Access - No access.

  7. Select Save.

  8. Copy the API Endpoint, ID, and Secret credentials to a secure location.

Step 2: Add Reveal(x) 360 as a Security Device in Workbench

Now that you have your ExtraHop API Credentials, you can configure the integration in 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 “Extrahop” and then select the ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 integration.

  5. Complete the fields as follows:

    • Name - enter a name that might help you more easily identify this integration.

    • Location - enter the location of your integration

    • Server address - enter the API endpoint URL from Step 1.

    • API key ID - enter the ID from Step 1.

    • API key secret - enter the Secret from Step 1.

  6. 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.

Step 3: Set Up ExtraHop Console Access for Expel

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. For more information, see Why Expel Asks for Console Access.

  1. Add a new user in the Extrahop 360 console. Refer to ExtraHop's RevealX 360 Setup and Administration Guide for more information.

  2. First name - enter "Expel".

  3. Last name - enter "SOC".

  4. Email - enter "soc+<Your_Organization_Name>@expel.io".

    • For example, if your organization were Acme Corp, the format would be "soc+acme_corp@expel.io".

  5. In the System Access section, select Full read-only privileges.

  6. Select Save.

  7. Select Done.

  8. Expel will handle the password reset and finish configuration in Workbench.

Troubleshooting

If your device status shows an Unhealthy connection in Workbench: Please ensure you have enabled "Full access" permissions for the NDR and NPM modules as instructed in Step 1.
