System Integration Settings

This tab allows you to integrate devices and incidents with external CMDB and helpdesk/workflow systems. You can also write your own plugins to support other systems.

This section provides the procedures to configure External Systems Integration.

Proxy Settings

If you want the communication between the FortiSIEM Supervisor and the external system to go through a proxy, then complete the following steps

  1. Login to Supervisor as admin.
  2. Go to the glassfish configuration directory: /opt/glassfish/domains/domain1/config.
  3. Add proxy server information to the domain.xml file:

    <jvm-options>-Dhttp.proxyHost=172.30.57.100</jvm-options>

    <jvm-options>-Dhttp.proxyPort=3128</jvm-options>

    <jvm-options>-Dhttp.proxyUser=foo</jvm-options>

    <jvm-options>-Dhttp.proxyPassword=password</jvm-options>

  4. Restart glassfish.

Certificate Configuration

If an external system, for example ServiceNow, Connectwise, Salesforce, Jira, etc., needs a certificate to communicate, then you must configure certificates on the Supervisor node. Follow the instructions here.

Setting up External System Integration

FortiSIEM integration helps to create a two-way linkage between external ticketing/work flow systems like ServiceNow, ConnectWise and Salesforce. The integration can be for Incidents and CMDB.

This involves two steps:

  1. Create an integration.
  2. Attach the integration to an Incident Notification Policy or run the integration on a schedule.

Four types of integrations are supported:

  • Incident Outbound Integration: This creates a ticket in an external ticketing system from FortiSIEM incidents.
  • Incident Inbound Integration: This updates FortiSIEM incident ticket state from external system ticket states. Specifically, when a ticket is closed in the external ticketing system, the incident is cleared in FortiSIEM and the ticket status is marked closed to synchronize with the external ticketing system.
  • CMDB Outbound Integration: This populates an external CMDB from FortiSIEM CMDB.
  • CMDB Inbound Integration: This populates FortiSIEM CMDB from an external CMDB.

FortiSIEM provides a Java-based API that can be used to integrate with ticketing systems. Out of the box integration is available for ServiceNow, ConnectWise, Salesforce, RiskIQ, VirusTotal, and Jira. Integration with other systems can be built using the API.

See the following sections to set up External Systems Integration:

Step 1: Provide Configuration Information

  1. Go to ADMIN > Settings > General > External Integration.
  2. Click New to create a new integration or Edit to modify an existing integration.
  3. In the Integration Policy dialog box, provide the following values:
    • Type: select Incident.
    • Direction: select Outbound.
    • Vendor: select Jira.
    • Instance: enter an instance name or accept the default.
    • Plugin Name: is pre-populated with the name of the Jira integration class: com.accelops.phoenix.jira.JiraTicketIntegration.
    • Host/URL, enter the URL of the Jira provider, for example, https://<customer>.atlassian.net.
    • Username and Password, enter your Jira user name and password.

 

Step 2: Specify the FortiSIEM to Jira Field Mapping

  1. Click the edit icon next to Field Mapping.
  2. In the Field Mapping dialog box, provide the following values:
    • Project: enter a name for the project.
    • Issue Type: select Event.
    • The Summary: field is pre-populated with the Incident Rule Name ($ruleName).
    • For Description: click the edit icon to build the expression for the Jira issue description. The drop-down list contains FortiSIEM fields that can be mapped to.
    • The Priority: field is pre-populated with Incident Severity Category ($incident_severityCat).
  3. Create mappings between Jira fields and FortiSIEM fields by clicking New.

    Select Jira fields from the upper drop-down list and match them with corresponding FortiSIEM fields in the lower drop-down list.

CMDB Inbound Integration

CMDB Inbound Integration populates FortiSIEM CMDB from an external CMDB.

Step 1: Create a CMDB Inbound integration

You must create a CSV file for mapping the contents of the external database to a location on your FortiSIEM Supervisor, which will be periodically updated based on the schedule you set.

  1. Log into your Supervisor node with administrator credentials. 
  2. Go to ADMIN > Settings > General > External Integration.
  3. Click New.
  4. For Type, select Device
  5. For Direction, select Inbound
  6. Enter the File Path to the CSV file. 
  7. For Content Mapping, click the edit icon.
    1. For Column Mapping, click + and enter the mapping between columns in the Source CSV file and the Destination CMDB.
      1. Enter Source CSV column Name for Source Column
      2. Check Create Property if it Does not Exist to create the new attribute in FortiSIEM if it does not exist
        1. Enter a name for the Destination Column of the property from the drop-down list.
        2. Select Overwrite Existing Value if the property exists in the CMDB, but you want to overwrite it's current value.
