# Securonix Next-Gen SIEM Setup for Workbench

## Step 1: Enable Console Access <a href="#h_01hyedxxry0pv1h0cv4x5haq8g" id="h_01hyedxxry0pv1h0cv4x5haq8g"></a>

Having read-only access to the interface of your technology allows Expel to dig deeper during incident investigations. Our device health team uses this access to investigate potential health issues with your tech. For more information, see [Why Expel Asks for Console Access](/connect-your-technology/about-integrations/why-expel-asks-for-console-access.md).

1. In the Securonix console, create a user for Expel. We recommend naming the user "expel-soc".
2. In **Menu > Administration > Settings**, set **Enable Web Services?** to **Yes**.&#x20;

Make note of these user credentials, as you'll provide them to Expel in a later step.

## Step 2: Generate API Credentials <a href="#uuid-84cf78ba-731b-5e60-62f4-fcddba03f852_bridgehead-idm4492470168862433055872335736" id="uuid-84cf78ba-731b-5e60-62f4-fcddba03f852_bridgehead-idm4492470168862433055872335736"></a>

To integrate the technology with Workbench, you need to create secure credentials to the API.

API credentials are generated by requests to the API itself to create a token used for future requests.

## Step 3: Add Securonix as a Security Device in Workbench <a href="#uuid-84cf78ba-731b-5e60-62f4-fcddba03f852_bridgehead-idm4554699776428833055878784834" id="uuid-84cf78ba-731b-5e60-62f4-fcddba03f852_bridgehead-idm4554699776428833055878784834"></a>

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

1. ​[Log in to Workbench](https://workbench.expel.io/auth/login?orig=%2F).
2. In the side menu, navigate to **Organization Settings > Security Devices**. If you have multiple organizations, you must select the appropriate organization name from the list.
3. Select **Add Security Device**.
4. Search for and select the **Securonix Next-Gen SIEM** integration.
5. Complete the fields as follows:
   * **Name** - enter a name that might help you more easily identify this integration, such as “CompanyName Securonix”; this name will display in Workbench under the Name column, and is a text string that you can filter on.
   * **Location** - enter the location of your integration, for example “cloud.” This is also a text string that you can filter on, so we recommend being consistent with location naming across your Expel integrations.
   * **URL** - enter your organization's Securonix URL.
   * **API key** - enter your organization's Securonix username.
   * **API key ID** - enter your organization's Securonix password.
   * **API token** - enter your organization's generated API token.
6. &#x20;Select **Save**.
7. On the console access screen, select **Set up now**.
8. In the Console Login area, complete the fields as follows:
   * **Console URL** - enter the console URL from the Server address in the Connection Settings area above. At the end of the URL, enter "**/login"**.
   * **Username** - enter the username for the new user you created in [Step 1](#h_01hyedxxry0pv1h0cv4x5haq8g).
   * **Password** - enter the password for the new user.
   * **Two-factor secret key (32-character code)** - depending on how your organization enforces log-ins, this field may not apply to you. In these cases, you can leave it blank. This field is optional. If you have questions or concerns, reach out to your Customer Success Manager (CSM) or Expel support.
9. 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.
* To check on the status, select the downward arrow for your device in the first column and choose **View details**.
* If your device does not begin polling within 15 minutes, [contact our support team](/support/how-to-reach-us.md) for help. You must refresh the page to see updates.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.expel.io/connect-your-technology/q-z-integrations/securonix-next-gen-siem-setup-for-workbench.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
