Integrations

pxGrid

From this page, you can configure ISE pxGrid Cisco Cyber Vision integration.

Cisco Platform Exchange Grid (pxGrid) is an open, scalable data-sharing and threat control platform that allows seamless integration between multivendor identity, network, security and asset management systems.

For more information about how to perform this integration, refer to the manual "Integrating Cisco Cyber Vision with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) via pxGrid".

FMC

FMC administration page permits to configure a link between Cisco Cyber Vision with your Firepower Management Center. This connection will permit to send regularly (every 10 seconds) the components discovered by Cisco Cyber Vision. Every 10 seconds a list of new discovered components will be sent with the following properties in Cisco Cyber Vision:

  • Name

  • Id

  • Ip

  • Mac

  • And if they are available:

    • hw_version

    • model-ref

    • serial_number

    • fw_version

    • tags

The configuration of this connection consists of adding the IP address of FMC, then importing a certificate in Cisco Cyber Vision.

In FMC, to download the necessary certificate, please navigate to "System" then to "Integration" and open the "Host Input Client" tab. In the tab create a new Client with the button "Create Client". Add the Cisco Cyber Vision Center IP address as host name, then download the pkcs12 certificate.

Then, in FMC, menu "Policies", "Application Detectors" add a new Product Map with the button "Create Product Map Set". Please create the new product Map with the exact name and case as presented below:

The created hosts could be consulted in FMC, menu "Analysis", tab "Hosts – Network Map":

FTD

FTD administration page permits to connect Cisco Cyber Vision with your Firepower Threat Defense. It will allow to automatically kill anomalies detected by monitor mode and snort events. The corresponding session found in FTD will be killed.

Every 10 seconds Cisco Cyber Vision will browse the new monitor and SNORT events and send the corresponding action to the firewall. To enable that functionality, the user needs to add the following parameters in the FTD administration page:

  • Ip address of the firewall

  • Login: admin login, an ssh connection will be established between the center and the firewall

  • Password: corresponding password

  • Hostname: is the name of the device, by default "firepower"

Two option are available: kill session from monitor difference detection events and kill session from snort events.

SecureX

Cisco SecureX is an online platform that centralizes security events from different Cisco software equipments through an API. For example, events like Cisco Cyber Vision events or firewall events can be sent to Cisco SecureX and correlated to be presented through different dashboards.

SecureX integration enables three features in Cisco Cyber Vision:

  • without SecureX SSO login, the button Investigate in SecureX Threat Response will appear in components' technical sheet.

  • with SecureX SSO login, the button Report to SecureX will appear in some events of the event calendar page. This button is used to push the events to SecureX.

  • with SecureX SSO login, a SecureX ribbon with several features can be activated in Cisco Cyber Vision.

This section describes how to configure SecureX in Cisco Cyber Vision and the different features authorized.

SecureX configuration

Before you begin

The Cisco SecureX configuration in Cisco Cyber Vision requests:
