GitLab (SaaS) Setup for Workbench | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/10853659813395-GitLab-SaaS-Setup-for-Workbench | "2022-10-31T17:50:22" | This article explains how to connect GitLab to Expel Workbench.
#### In this article
* Before you start
* Step 1: Enable console access
* Step 2: Configure the technology in Workbench
## Before you start
You must have:
* A GitLab SaaS installation. Reach out to your engagement manager if you’re using the self-managed version.
* A user account with owner permissions on the top-level group.
## Step 1: Enable console access
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.
### Note
Expel secures all login information our SOC analysts need about your devices
in a MFA password product. Access to this login information is protected using
our internal MFA processes. To learn more about the IP addresses all Expel
traffic comes from, go here.
1. Login to GitLab and navigate to a top-level group.
2. Copy the Group ID.
3. Open your Profile menu and select Preferences.
4. Click Access Tokens.
5. Generate a Personal Access Token with a 1-year expiry date and a read_api permission level.
## Step 2: Configure the technology in Workbench
Now that we have the correct access configured and noted the credentials, we
can integrate your tech with Workbench.
1. In a new browser tab, log into Workbench. The link opens the Add Security Device screen directly.
2. Fill in the fields like this:
* Add a Name and Location that are meaningful to you.
* For API token, use the Personal Access Token created in Step 1.5.
* For On-prem URL, if the server is self-managed, use the GitLab server URL.
* For Group IDs, type the Group ID copied in Step 1.2.
You can see if the device is healthy on the Security Devices page. It may take
a few minutes to see the device listed as healthy.
To check if alerts are coming through, navigate to the Alerts Analysis page.
Scroll to the device you want to check and click View alerts. Switch to grid
view, then check the list for device alerts. It can take 36 to 72 hours for
alerts to appear after setup, as we tune your device.

Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) setup for Workbench | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/11742313688595-Google-Kubernetes-Engine-GKE-setup-for-Workbench | "2022-12-01T15:04:58" | The Expel Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) offering consumes audit logs from the
GCP platform through a log sink and pub/sub. This visibility allows Workbench
to identify activity of interest in GKE, investigate, and notify organizations
if action is recommended.

## Onboarding with terraform
Expel maintains a terraform module to help organizations easily onboard GKE
with Expel. Contact your engagement manager with any questions about this
onboarding method. Otherwise, follow the manual instructions below.
## Manual onboarding instructions
Complete the steps below for each GCP project to be monitored by Workbench.
## Before you start
To complete this procedure you need:
* Administrative access to the GCP environment.
* User privileges to create a service account, IAM role, log sink, a pub/sub topic, and a pub/sub subscription.
## Enable control plane logging for GKE clusters
At a minimum, Workbench requires logging of the Kubernetes control plane audit
events for each cluster. This provides visibility into activity affecting
resources in the cluster (the “who”, “what”, and “when” we need to detect and
respond). By default, GKE clusters are configured to send Kubernetes audit
events to Cloud Logging, so no additional configuration is required for
clusters.
#### Enable Cloud Resource Manager API for monitored projects
For Expel to discover GKE clusters in the environment, the Cloud Resource
Manager API needs to be enabled in monitored projects. To enable the Cloud
Resource Manager API, navigate to APIs & Services library in the Google Cloud
console.
From the library, select Cloud Resources Manager, and enable this API for all
monitored projects.
## Enable data access auditing for GKE
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) separates the Kubernetes control plane logs
into 2 log types in Cloud Logging: Admin Activity and Data Access logs. In
general, write operations (like get, update, or delete) are captured in the
Admin Activity log while read operations (like get or list) are captured in
the optional Data Access logs (see the documentation for more specifics).
Admin Activity logging is enabled by default, but it can be necessary to
enable Data Access logging to increase logging visibility to include read
operations. To do so, go to the IAM > Audit Logs page and search for
_Kubernetes Engine API_.
Select all 3 boxes as below:
This can be done at a project, folder, or organization level.
### Note
Enabling additional logging can increase costs for Cloud Logging. For more
information on how this is priced, see the documentation.
## Send GKE logs to a pub/sub topic
GKE begins routing Kubernetes logs to Cloud Logging automatically. Next, we
create a pub/sub queue and a log sink to route logs to Workbench.
### Step 1: Create a new pub/sub queue
Workbench collects GKE logs through a pub/sub subscription. Navigate to
Pub/Sub > Topics and create a new topic and default subscription.
### Note
We don't recommend enabling retention duration because of additional cost.
Optionally, configure a Customer-managed encryption key if needed.
### Step 2: Create a log sink to route logs to pub/sub
Next, we need to create a log sink to route logs to the Pub/Sub topic. To
create a sink at the organization level we need to use the gcloud command line
utility.
1. Login to GCP.
`$ gcloud auth login`
2. List the organizations and take note of the org ID.
`$ gcloud organizations list`
3. Create the pub/sub org sink. Use this command to create the sink:
$ gcloud logging sinks create [name of log sink] pubsub.googleapis.com/projects/[project-id]/topics/[topic-id] --include-children --organization=[org-id] --log-filter="(resource.type=gke_cluster OR resource.type=k8s_cluster)\n-proto_payload.method_name=\"io.k8s.core.v1.nodes.proxy.get\"\n-proto_payload.method_name=\"io.k8s.coordination.v1.leases.update\"\n-proto_payload.method_name=\"io.k8s.core.v1.limitranges.update\"\n-proto_payload.method_name=\"io.k8s.autoscaling\""
This automatically creates a new service account which must be granted Pub/Sub
Publisher permissions on the integration’s topic.
4. Grant Pub/Sub Publisher role to log sink’s writer identity.
Obtain the sink's writer identity—an email address—from the new sink. Go to
the Log Router page, and select View sink details. The writer identity appears
in the Sink details panel.
From the console, navigate to PubSub > Topics > [topic-id]. On the Permissions
tab, grant the service account created above the Publisher role.
### If you are onboarding a specific project
Next, we need to create a log sink to route logs to the pub/sub topic.
Navigate to Cloud Logging > Logs Router and create a new sink.
Type the following information:
1. A name for the sink.
2. A description for the sink.
3. Select the Cloud Pub/Sub topic we created earlier as the destination.
4. Type the filter below as an inclusion filter.
**Filter**
### Create IAM Role for required permissions
Next, we create a new custom IAM role to capture the required permissions for
Workbench. Navigate to IAM > Roles and create a new role.
Click the ADD PERMISSIONS button and add the below permissions to this role:
* compute.instanceGroupManagers.get
* container.apiServices.get
* container.apiServices.getStatus
* container.apiServices.list
* container.auditSinks.get

### Create GCP service account for Workbench
Next, we create a service account for Workbench to collect GKE logs and
monitor GKE clusters. Navigate to IAM > Service Accounts and create a new
service account.
Under service account details, type a Name, ID and Description and click
Create and Continue.
Next, add 3 roles to the service account:
1. The “Browser” role. This allows Workbench to discover GKE clusters in the environment.
2. The custom Workbench role we created earlier.
3. The “Pub/Sub” subscriber role.
### Note
We recommend adding a condition to limit this role to the pub/resource created
earlier.
Finally, for the last section, leave the blank defaults and click Done.
### Download GCP service account key
Workbench requires a service account key to authenticate to your GCP
environment. To generate a key, navigate to IAM > Service Accounts. Locate the
service account you created earlier for Workbench, and select Manage Keys from
the Actions menu for that account.
Create a new key, and download the key in the default JSON format. We use this
key later in Workbench to onboard the GKE integration.
### Onboarding to Expel Workbench
The steps below outline how to finish onboarding in Workbench.
1. Log in to Workbench at https://workbench.expel.io.
2. Navigate to Settings > Security devices.
3. Click \+ Add security device.
4. Select Google Kubernetes Engine.
5. Name the device, provide a description, and fill in the Service Account auth JSON, and the pubsub subscription name.
6. Click Save.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) setup for Workbench | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/11742327047827-Amazon-Elastic-Kubernetes-Service-EKS-setup-for-Workbench | "2022-12-01T15:04:57" | The Expel Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) consumes audit logs from the
AWS platform through Kinesis. This visibility allows Workbench to identify
activity of interest in EKS, investigate, and notify organizations if action
is recommended.
Complete the steps below for each EKS cluster in each AWS account to be
monitored by Workbench.
#### In this article
* Before you start
* Enable control plane logging for each EKS cluster
* Send EKS logs to a Kinesis stream
* Step 1: Create a new Kinesis data stream
* Step 2: Create an IAM role for CloudWatch log delivery
* Step 3: Route logs from CloudWatch to Kinesis stream
* Create IAM Role for Workbench
* Grant Workbench IAM Role required permissions
* Grant Workbench read-only cluster permissions
* Step 4: Connecting to Workbench
* Put these IP addresses in your allow list
## Before you start
To complete this procedure you need:
* Administrative access to Amazon Web Services (AWS).
* User privileges to create a Kinesis stream, CloudWatch log subscription, IAM role, and IAM policy.
## Enable control plane logging for each EKS cluster
At a minimum, Workbench requires logging of the **audit** events for each
cluster. This provides visibility into activity affecting resources in the
cluster (the “who, what, and when” we need to detect and respond to).
Update logging configuration with the AWS CLI like this:
aws eks update-cluster-config \
_--region_ **_< your-cluster-region>_** \
_--name_ **_< your-cluster-name>_** _\_
_--logging '{"clusterLogging":[{"types":["audit"],"enabled":true}]}'_
For more information on configuring control plane logging, see the Amazon
reference guide.
## Send EKS logs to a Kinesis stream
After control plane logging is enabled, EKS begins sending logs to CloudWatch.
Next, the logs must be routed from CloudWatch to a Kinesis data stream so that
Workbench can consume the logs in real time. Complete the steps below to route
EKS logs to a Kinesis data stream.
## Step 1: Create a new Kinesis data stream
Create a stream with the AWS CLI like this:
_aws kinesis create-stream \_
_--region_ **_< your-cluster-region>_** _\_
_--stream-name_ **_< your-stream-name>_** _\_
_--stream-mode-details '{"StreamMode": "ON_DEMAND"}'_
We recommend creating an `“ON_DEMAND”` stream to allow the stream to adjust
capacity based on demand.
## Step 2: Create an IAM role for CloudWatch log delivery
An IAM role is required to allow CloudWatch to deliver logs to your Kinesis
stream.
To start, create a trust policy document that allows the CloudWatch service to
assume the role:
_{_
_"Statement": {_
_"Effect": "Allow",_
_"Principal": { "Service": "logs._ **_< your-region>_** _.amazonaws.com" },_
_"Action": "sts:AssumeRole",_
_"Condition": {_
_"StringLike": { "aws:SourceArn": "arn:aws:logs:_ **_< your-region>_** _:_ **_< your-account-id>_** _:*" }_
_}_
_}_
_}_
Then, create the IAM role supplying this trust document:
_aws iam create-role \_
_--role-name_ **_< your-cloudwatch-role-name>_**
_--assume-role-policy-document file://_ **_< your-trust-document-file-path>_**
Next, create an IAM policy document that grants this role permissions to put
records into your Kinesis stream:
_{_
_"Statement": [_
_{_
_"Effect": "Allow",_
_"Action": "kinesis:PutRecord",_
_"Resource": "_ **_< your-kinesis-arn>_** _"_
_}_
_]_
_}_
Finally, apply this IAM policy to the CloudWatch role:
aws iam put-role-policy \
--role-name **< your-cloudwatch-role-name>** \
--policy-name “ **< your-policy-name>**” \
--policy-document file:// **< your-policy-document-path>**
## Step 3: Route logs from CloudWatch to Kinesis stream
Logs can be routed to Kinesis with a CloudWatch log group subscription filter.
Create this filter with the AWS CLI like this:
aws logs put-subscription-filter \
_--region_ **_< your-cluster-region>_** _\_
_–log-group-name_ **_< your-cluster-log-group-name>_** _\_
–filter-name “AllEKSLogs” \
–filter-pattern “”
_–destination-arn_ **_< your-kinesis-stream-arn>_**
_--role-arn_ **_< your-cloudwatch-role>_**
### Create IAM Role for Workbench
To authenticate to your AWS account and retrieve logs, Workbench requires an
IAM role. If you already have an Workbench IAM role for another Workbench
integration (like CloudWatch or AWS GuardDuty), this existing role can be
reused and you can go to: **Grant Expel IAM Role required permissions**.
To start, create a trust policy document that allows Workbench to assume the
role:
_{_
_"Statement":_
_[_
_{_
_"Effect": "Allow",_
_"Principal":_
_{_
_"AWS": "arn:aws:iam::012205512454:user/ExpelCloudService"_
_},_
_"Action": "sts:AssumeRole",_
_"Condition":_
_{_
_"StringEquals":_
_{_
_"sts:ExternalId": "_ **_< your-customer-guid>_** _"_
_}_
_}_
_}_
_]_
_}_
Then, create the IAM role supplying this trust document:
_aws iam create-role \_
_--role-name_ **_< your-expel-role-name>_**
_--assume-role-policy-document file://_ **_< your-trust-document-file-path>_**
### Grant Workbench IAM Role required permissions
Workbench requires IAM permissions to retrieve logs from Kinesis, as well as
investigate activity of interest affecting your EKS clusters.
First, create an IAM policy document granting Workbench required permissions
for Kinesis and EKS:
_{_
_"Version": "2012-10-17",_
_"Statement": [_
_{_
_"Effect": "Allow",_
_"Action": [_
_"kinesis:DescribeLimits",_
_"kinesis:DescribeStream",_
_"kinesis:DescribeStreamSummary",_
_"kinesis:GetRecords",_
_"kinesis:GetShardIterator",_
_"kinesis:ListShards"_
_],_
_"Resource": "_ **_< your kinesis stream arn>_** _"_
_},_
_{_
_"Effect": "Allow",_
_"Action": [_
_"eks:AccessKubernetesApi",_
_"eks:DescribeCluster",_
_"eks:DescribeNodegroup",_
_"eks:ListClusters",_
_"eks:ListNodegroups",_
_"eks:ListUpdates",_
_"sts:GetCallerIdentity",_
_"ec2:DescribeRegions",_
_"autoscaling:DescribeAutoScalingGroups"_
],
_"Resource": "*"_
_}_
_]_
_}_
Then, apply this policy to the Expel IAM role:
aws iam put-role-policy \
--role-name **< your-expel-role-name>** \
--policy-name “ **< your-policy-name>**” \
--policy-document file:// **< your-policy-document-path>**
### Grant Workbench read-only cluster permissions
Expel suggests providing limited read-only access to your EKS clusters to
enable deep investigation of interesting activity. These permissions can be
fine-tuned based on your needs. Workbench can deliver service without this
access, but it significantly limits our ability to thoroughly investigate
activity in your clusters.
First, create an Expel ClusterRole manifest to grant limited, read-only
permissions:
_apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1_
_kind: ClusterRole_
_metadata:_
_name: expel-reader-clusterrole_
_rules:_
_- apiGroups:_
_- ""_
_- admissionregistration.k8s.io_
_- apps_
_- networking.k8s.io_
_- rbac.authorization.k8s.io_
_resources:_
_- apiservices_
_- clusterrolebindings_
_- clusterroles_
_- cronjobs_
_- daemonsets_
_- deployments_
_- events_
_- flowschemas_
_- horizontalpodautoscalers_
_- ingressclasses_
_- ingresses_
_- jobs_
_- localsubjectaccessreviews_
_- mutatingwebhookconfigurations_
_- namespaces_
_- networkpolicies_
_- nodes_
_- persistentvolumes_
_- poddisruptionbudgets_
_- pods_
_- podsecuritypolicies_
_- podtemplates_
_- replicasets_
_- rolebindings_
_- roles_
_- selfsubjectaccessreviews_
_- selfsubjectrulesreviews_
_- serviceaccounts_
_- services_
_- statefulsets_
_- subjectaccessreviews_
_- tokenreviews_
_- validatingwebhookconfigurations_
_- volumeattachments_
_verbs:_
_- get_
_- list_
Use kubectl to apply this role:
= _kubectl apply -f_ **_< your-expel-role-manifest>_**
Next, bind this role to a Workbench user with a ClusterRoleBinding. Create a
ClusterRoleBinding manifest:
_kind: ClusterRoleBinding_
_apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1_
_metadata:_
_name: expel-reader-clusterrolebinding_
_subjects:_
_- kind: User_
_name: expel-user_
_roleRef:_
_kind: ClusterRole_
_name: expel-reader-clusterrole_
_apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io_
Use kubectl to apply this role:
_kubectl apply -f_ **_< your-expel-role-binding-manifest>_**
Finally, map the Workbench IAM role to the in-cluster user “expel-user”. This
requires editing the “aws-auth” configMap with **EKS ctl**.
_eksctl create iamidentitymapping \_
_--cluster_ **_< your-cluster-name>_** _\_
_--region_ **_< your-region>_** _\_
_--arn_ **_< your-expel-role-arn>_** _\_
_--username expel-user_
You can confirm the mapping is created by running:
_eksctl get iamidentitymapping --cluster_ **_< your-cluster-name>_** _--region_ **_< your-region>_**
## Step 4: Connecting to Workbench
The steps below outline how to finish connecting to Workbench.
1. Log in to Workbench at https://workbench.expel.io.
2. Navigate to Settings > Security devices.
3. Click +Add security device.

AWS CloudTrail setup for Workbench | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/12116548434067-AWS-CloudTrail-setup-for-Workbench | "2022-12-13T18:50:35" | This article contains links to all the ways you can connect your new or
existing AWS CloudTrail to the Expel Workbench.
#### In this article
* Onboarding a new CloudTrail
* Onboarding an existing AWS CloudTrail
## Onboarding a new CloudTrail
You can onboard new CloudTrails in 1 of 2 ways:
* Use our AWS onboarding wizard.
* Connect manually.
If you want Expel to create new CloudTrails on your behalf, use our AWS
Onboarding Wizard in Workbench.
### Note
Creating duplicate CloudTrails can result in additional AWS costs. Do not use
the wizard if you want to connect an existing CloudTrail.
Our wizard supports creating new CloudTrails using:
* CloudFormation Templates: You can use AWS CloudFormation templates to perform the necessary configuration for an individual account or organization. If you’re onboarding an AWS organization, it creates a CloudFormation StackSet to configure the permissions on each account within the organization. It can even automatically run on accounts you create in the future under the organization. Don’t worry, we won’t run anything in your AWS account. We instead populate CloudFormation with the right steps; you review it and decide to execute.
* Terraform: We present an open source, fully transparent Terraform module which creates necessary AWS resources used to securely transfer CloudTrail logs to Workbench. All of the resources that we allocate are listed here: https://registry.terraform.io/modules/expel-io/cloudtrail/aws/latest?tab=resources. By default, all methods of communication between these resources and AWS and Workbench are secured by encryption. All means of data storage (S3) follow AWS best practices—access logging enabled, bucket versioning enabled, zero public access.

## About connecting your device
Connecting your device to Workbench allows Workbench to ingest the logs. AWS
logs include a great deal of information that can take hours to manually
review. And not all AWS alerts need attention.
Expel collects data through direct API integrations with the AWS platform.
Expel supports authentication with an IAM Role (recommended) or IAM User with
a set of read-only permissions. To collect data, Expel communicates directly
with AWS APIs (like AWS GuardDuty and Inspector) and pulls in CloudTrail data
from S3.
Expel processes all product alerts with a library of Expel created rules
focused on the MITRE attack framework. This makes it possible for a product
alert that wouldn't be reviewed to be elevated to an Expel alert.
## Before you start
**This process requires you to download the attachment, found at the end of
this article. The attachment includes the code blocks you need to complete
this process.**
### Note
This article assumes the default service control policies are in play. If you
run into any issues during setup, contact your engagement manager for help.
## About console permissions in your devices
As you connect your devices to Workbench, you provide Workbench access to
those devices through permissions in the devices. These permissions vary from
1 device technology to another, but we typically need at least Read access to
your devices to pull in any logs from those devices into Workbench.
Without minimum permissions to your devices, the SOC analysts are limited in
their insight into your technology. This can mean they surface more benign
alerts to your team for further investigation, resulting in increasing the
workload for your team, and resulting in alert fatigue.
If you grant Read access to your devices, we can investigate the device and
the logs more deeply and surface relevant alerts to you in Workbench. Allowing
Expel visibility into the console of your security devices helps our SOC
analysts make better decisions on whether an alert is benign or malicious. It
also allows our SOC analysts to perform health checks to make sure Workbench
is not missing alerts from your security devices. Depending on what your
organization purchased from Expel, the SOC analysts may even be able to
contain and/or remediate the issues on your behalf.
Ultimately, the more permissions you can grant Workbench, the better and
faster the SOC analysts can find and investigate alerts in your environment.
### Permissions description and explanation
Expel requires these permissions when connecting to AWS CloudTrail. These
permissions are set to **Read** , except as shown below.

Retrieves information about the organization the user's account belongs to.
## Step 1: Setup ExpelIAM role and policy
In this step we create a permissions policy to assign to the IAM Role.
### Important
For AWS Control Tower the primary Expel role is created within the
organization’s Log Archive account where the CloudTrail S3 Log Bucket exists.
The role and policy must be replicated across all the other accounts in the
organization to allow Expel to perform investigative actions within your AWS
environment. The policy replicated to the other non-Log Archive sub-accounts
can be modified to exclude the policy elements providing access permissions to
the S3 resources if necessary.
1. Create IAM Role and Policy in management account.
* Navigate to the CloudFormation > Stacks service portal.
* Click Create Stack (with new resources) and select Upload a template file as the source.
* Upload a json file containing the stack template. You can find that code in the attachment for this article in the Step 1 area.
* Provide a relevant name to the stack, such as ExpelIAMStack.
* In the WorkbenchExternalID parameter field, type in your Workbench GUID, then click Next.
### Note
You can find this GUID by logging into Workbench and then navigating to
https://workbench.expel.io/settings/organizations. The redirected URL contains
the value to be used for this parameter.
---
* You can leave all defaults for configuring the stack options and click Next.
* Verify the stack details, then check the acknowledgement and click Submit.
* The new IAM role and attached policy should exist for Expel within the management account on completion of the stack.
2. Create IAM Role and Policy in all sub accounts.
* Navigate to the CloudFormation > Stacksets service portal.
* Click Create StackSet and select Upload a template file as the source.
* Follow the same process to fill out the stackset details as was done in deploying the stack above (Step 1.1).
## Step 2: Update CloudTrail CMK policy if applicable
### Note
You can skip this step if your CloudTrail is not configured to encrypt the S3
logs using CMK. Otherwise, we need to update the key policy to provide
Workbench with the kms:Decrypt permission so that we can properly get objects
from the S3 bucket containing the CloudTrail logs.
You can determine if this step applies to you by navigating to Services >
CloudTrail > Trails and then selecting the trail created by Control Tower in
your management account. In the General details section you see a value under
Log file SSE-KMS encryption and an associated AWS KMS key populated as well.
1. Navigate to the CMK key used to encrypt the CloudTrail logs.
* You can find the specific key arn by looking for AWS KMS Key in the General details section of the CloudTrail.
2. Select the Key policy tab and then click Edit to change it.
3. Add the decrypt permission to the existing list of policy statements. You can find that code in the attachment for this article in the Step 2 area.
### Note
Make sure to update the principal value with the correct arn path to the Expel
Role created in the Log Archive account as a result of Step 1.2 via the
StackSet.
4. Click Save changes.
### Important
The following steps (Steps 3 - 8) must be performed from within your AWS
Control Tower Log Archive account. See the AWSdocumentation for any
clarification on what that is.
## Step 3: Confirm S3 log bucket ACL settings
### Note
Amazon S3 access control lists allow you to manage access to buckets and any
objects contained within. We want to confirm that the S3 bucket created in
your log archive account allows the bucket owner (Log Archive) and Expel by
extension through the deployed role read permissions for the objects within.
1. Navigate to Services > S3 > Buckets > [Your S3 Log Bucket] (usually follows the naming scheme “aws-controltower-logs-”.
2. Select the Permissions tab, then look at the Object Ownership section to confirm the current ACL setting.
3. If you keep ACLs enabled on the bucket then confirm the current Object Ownership is set to Bucket owner preferred.
### Important
AWS recommends that you disable ACLs on S3 for a majority of modern use-cases
which then delegate ownership to the bucket owner account (source).
## Step 4: Setup SNS topic for S3 notifications
### Option 1: Using CloudFormation (recommended)
### Important
If you choose this option, then you can skip to Step 8 when you’re done.
1. Navigate to Services > CloudFormation > Stacks and click Create stack (with new resources).
2. In the Specify template section select Upload a template file. Then upload a json file containing the stack template. Then click Next. You can find that code in the attachment for this article in the Step 4, Option 1 area.
3. Fill in a name for the stack.
4. Fill in the following required parameters.
* S3LogBucketARN: the ARN associated with the S3 Bucket in your Log Archive account that retains the CloudTrail logs.
* CloudTrailKeyARN: the ARN for the customer-managed kms key configured on your CloudTrail (in your management account).
5. Proceed through the rest of the wizard keeping the defaults, then click Submit to initiate the stack.
6. After the stack creation completes, make note of all values returned in the Outputs tab of the stack console. You need these returned values to complete setup in Workbench.
* RoleARN: the IAM Role created in the log archive account needed to complete setup in Workbench.
* SqsURL: the SQS url path needed to complete setup of in Workbench.
### Important
You can now skip directly to Step 8.
#### Option 2: Manual setup
### Caution
Make sure to create the SNS topic in the same region as the S3 bucket
CloudTrail events are being sent to!
1. Navigate to Services > Simple Notification Service > Topics and click Create Topic.
2. On the next screen, select Standard as the Type and create a Topic Name.
3. Under Access Policy, select Advanced.
In the JSON editor, paste the below policy substituting the YOUR_TOPIC_ARN and
YOUR_S3_ARN fields with your values. This policy allows S3 to publish
notifications to the topic for your CloudTrail bucket. You can find that code
in the attachment for this article in the Step 4, Option 2 area.
4. Click Create Topic.
## Step 5: Setup SQS queue for SNS notification
In this step, we create a new SQS queue for S3 notifications. Workbench polls
notifications from this queue to know when new CloudTrail data is added.
### Caution
Make sure you create the SQS queue in the same region as the SNS topic and S3
bucket!
1. Navigate to Services > Simple Queue Service > Queues and click Create queue.
2. On the next screen, select Standard Queue and name the new queue.
* Visibility timeout: 30 Seconds.
* Message retention period: 7 days.
* Delivery delay: 0 Seconds.
* Maximum message size: 256 KB.
* Receive message wait time: 0 Seconds.
3. Under Access Policy, select Advanced.
4. In the JSON editor, paste the policy substituting the YOUR_SQS_QUEUE_ARN and YOUR_SNS_TOPIC_ARN fields with your values. You can find that code in the attachment for this article in the Step 5 area.
## Step 6: Subscribe SQS to SNS topic
Now that we created an SNS topic and SQS queue, we need to configure SNS to
send events to the SQS queue.
1. Navigate to Services > Simple Notification Service > Subscriptions and click Create subscription.
2. On the next screen, configure the required fields to complete the subscription.
Field
|
Value
---|---
Topic ARN
|
Your SNS Topic ARN
Protocol
|
Select Amazon SQS
Endpoint
|
Your SNS Queue ARN
Enable raw message delivery
|
### Important
Selecting enable raw message delivery makes sure SNS doesn’t add extra
metadata headers to the message when it sends to SQS. Make sure you select
this!
3. Click Create subscription to finish this step.
## Step 7: Setup KMS encryption for SNS and SQS
1. Navigate to Services > Key Management Service (KMS) > Customer managed keys and click Create Key.
2. Retain the default configuration values as shown below, then click Next.
3. Fill in values for the alias and description for the key, then click Next.
4. Select any additional key administrators for the new key, then click Next until you get to the Review page.
5. Look for the Key policy generated for this key in the Review page and add the policies to the statement list to give S3 & SNS the right perms they need to decrypt with this key. You can find that code in the attachment for this article in the Step 7 area.
6. Click Finish to complete the creation of the new key.
7. Enable Encryption on the SNS topic you created in Step 3 using the new key.
* Navigate to Services > Simple Notification Service > Topics > YourTopic.
* Click Edit, then click Encryption on.
* In the Customer master key (CMK) selection, click the KMS key you created above.
* Click Save changes.
8. Enable Encryption on the SQS topic you created in Step 4 using the new key.
* Navigate to Services > Simple Queue Service > Queues > YourQueue.
* Click Edit, then toggle the Encryption option on.
* Set the Server-side encryption option to Enabled.
* Set the Encryption key type to SSE-KMS.
* In the Customer master key selection, click the KMS key you created above.
* Click Save.
## Step 8: Enable S3 event notifications to SNS topic
In this step, we configure the CloudTrail S3 bucket to send SNS notifications
when CloudTrail adds logs to the bucket.
1. Navigate to Services > S3 > Your S3 CloudTrail Bucket.
2. Open Properties for your S3 bucket and navigate to Event notifications. Click Create event notification.
3. On the next screen:
* Create a name for your notification rule.
* Select All object create events from the Event types section.
* Select SNS topic from the Destination section.
* Select your SNS topic created in Step 3.
4. Click Save changes.
## Step 9: Grant ExpelIAM Role necessary access
### Tip
Skip this step if you onboarded the Expel resources with CloudFormation using
Step 4, Option 1. You can go to Step 10.
At this point we configured S3 notifications → SNS topic → SQS queue. The
final step involves granting the existing ExpelIAM Role the necessary access
to poll events from the SQS queue and the S3 bucket.
1. Navigate to Services > IAM > Roles.
2. Create and add a new inline policy to the Expel Role that was propagated to the Log Archive account as part of Step 1.
### Tip
Name it ExpelAssumeRole if you used the provided StackSet template. The policy
grants the permissions. You can find that code in the attachment for this
article in the Step 9 area.
## Step 10: Complete Workbench setup
Congratulations! You configured S3 notifications to an SQS queue through SNS.
Go through Step 8: Register AWS in Workbench of the AWS CloudTrail: New
CloudTrail setup for Workbench complete setup to register the integration in
Workbench. Make sure to select Manual Connection for the connection type.
You require the following details to complete this step:
* Role ARN: Expel Role ARN created in Step 1 specific to the Log Archive account.
* SQS URL: the full URL path of the SQS created in Step 4.
* Organization Management Account: the account ID of your AWS organization’s management account.

About console permissions in your devices | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/12871722483347-About-console-permissions-in-your-devices | "2023-01-09T15:29:41" | As you connect your devices to Workbench, you provide Workbench access to
those devices through permissions in the devices. These permissions vary from
1 device technology to another, but we typically need at least Read access to

What are Expel alerts? | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/12925742896787-What-are-Expel-alerts- | "2023-01-10T21:54:24" | Expel alerts are vendor alerts that appear in Workbench for analysts to
triage, investigate, and respond to. An Expel alert is created when one or
more vendor alerts satisfy the rule logic in our detection engines. You can
view Expel alerts on the Alerts analysis dashboard.
Each Expel alert is assigned a severity, which may not always match the
severity of the originating vendor alert(s). Expel alerts are _de facto_ tier
1 when mapping back to the traditional security operations center (SOC)
process. New Expel alerts trigger Ruxie, our automated workflow bot. Ruxie
creates new investigative actions, looks for similar Expel alerts, and even
closes the alert in certain circumstances.
As our SOC analysts and Ruxie triage Expel alerts, they can end up proceeding
in 3 different ways:
* **Closed** : Expel alerts are closed if the vendor alert is benign or doesn’t fall into a category we can investigate further. For example, potentially unwanted programs (PUP) or potentially unwanted applications (PUA).
* **Escalated to investigation** : if there’s a potential of malicious behavior or our SOC analysts need more information, we create an investigation from that Expel alert.
* **Escalated to incident** : if an Expel alert is explicitly malicious, it is immediately escalated to an incident.
In the case of phishing Expel alerts, instead of a vendor alert being both the
source/cause of the Expel alert, it’s a phishing submission.
In the Expel alert/triage phase Ruxie may contact your organization to ask
“did you expect this?”.
In both cases, Expel alerts are closed with a reason and a comment if they are
determined to be benign in nature.
|
What are incidents? | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/12925743005331-What-are-incidents- | "2023-01-10T21:54:25" | If the SOC analysts determine there's a threat in an organization’s
environment, an incident is created or an investigation is promoted to an
Incident.
Incidents are similar to investigations in that they include investigative
actions and have a similar look and feel. Incidents, however, include
findings. These are the details to the common questions:
* What is it?
* Where is it?
* When did it get here?
* How did it get here?
Incidents can also include remediation and resilience actions.
|
What are investigations? | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/12925743051411-What-are-investigations- | "2023-01-10T21:54:26" | An Expel alert becomes an investigation if the SOC analysts think a more in-
depth analysis of the activity is needed. In this case, the Expel alert that
raised suspicion is called the lead Expel alert.
Investigations are where the SOC analysts can perform additional actions
(investigative actions) to uncover more information to help determine the
scope and nature of the activity that occurred proximate to the time of the
Expel alert.
In an investigation, you and the SOC analysts can collaborate and share
information in Workbench to reach a conclusion through comments, findings, and
investigative actions.
If the activity is determined to be benign, the investigation is closed with
an explanation. If not, the investigation is promoted to an incident.
|
What are vendor alerts? | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/12925743290387-What-are-vendor-alerts- | "2023-01-10T21:54:29" | Vendor alerts are the Expel-normalized representation of signal coming from
integrations you connected to Workbench. Vendor alerts are signal in the form
of alerts from security technologies such as endpoint detection and response
(EDR) providers, next-gen firewalls (NGFW), or security information and event
management (SIEM) systems. Vendor alerts can also include audit events
produced by software Expel monitors. For example, AssumeRole events from AWS
CloudTrail, or login events from Microsoft Azure AD, and so on.
Every vendor alert is associated with a specific security device in Workbench.
Vendor alerts don’t have a status and we don’t assign them. Our detection
engines evaluate vendor alerts to produce Expel alerts if they rise to the
level of requiring additional attention.
|
What are findings? | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/12925746962195-What-are-findings- | "2023-01-10T21:54:25" | Findings are where security analysts document, in detail, the answers to
questions such as: What is it? Where is it? When did it get here? How did it
get here?
### Tip
In the cases of commodity malware, business email compromise and red team
activity, the findings are even more optimized to directly address those
specific classes of activity.
Lastly, on every incident you find an alert-to-fix timeline in the findings
section in Workbench that describes the activity involved in answering the
above questions.
|
What are investigative actions? | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/12925747081875-What-are-investigative-actions- | "2023-01-10T21:54:27" | Investigative actions are steps an analyst and/or automation take to aid in
the investigation. Most commonly used investigative actions are steps that a
given security technology supports. For example,
* acquiring a file can be accomplished by asking Workbench to retrieve it.
* Workbench navigates for the SOC analysts, indicating how to acquire the file from any number of EDRs.
Investigative actions can also describe manual steps. This is less common, but
an investigative action can be created, for example, tasking you to upload a
file that Expel doesn’t have access to but needs to complete the
investigation.
Investigative actions come in many forms, but can be grouped into 2
categories: _triage support_ and _communications_.
* Triage support consists of gathering additional data from customer devices, enriching data from external data sources, and fetching data sources from multiple locations.
* Communications involves sending out verify actions or notifications.
|
What is a Phishing submission? | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/12925747142803-What-is-a-Phishing-submission- | "2023-01-10T21:54:27" | The phishing submission model object represents some email metadata related to
an Expel alert. It can further link to other metadata in the form of
attachments/URLs/headers for that submission record. It's roughly analogous to
a vendor alert, but can also exist in tandem with a vendor alert. For example,
a Proofpoint TAP-based Expel alert has a vendor alert containing threat
information and a phishing submission record containing the email information
from the Proofpoint TAP alert.
|
What are remediation actions? | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/12925747196051-What-are-remediation-actions- | "2023-01-10T21:54:28" | A remediation action is a recommended action that should be performed by the
customer organization, an analyst, or another automated process to ensure that
the bad actor(s) involved in an incident are stopped. Expel can automate some
remediation steps, removing the customer from the loop if they choose.

Expel alert categorization by alert fidelity and impact | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/13017623221779-Expel-alert-categorization-by-alert-fidelity-and-impact | "2023-01-13T17:15:27" | Expel uses the following matrix to map an alert's fidelity and impact to an
Expel alert severity.
Expel considers the following when assigning severities of Critical, High,
Medium, or Low for Expel created rule content, and when reclassifying certain
security product alerts:
1. How likely can the underlying logic that generated the alert identify what it was designed to identify? This is also known as the _alert fidelity_.
* High Fidelity: the alert maintains a true positive rate of **50%** or greater.
* Medium Fidelity: the alert maintains a true positive rate between **5% to 50%**.
* Low Fidelity: the alert maintains a true positive rate between **0% to 5%**.
2. If the alerts are a true positive, what is the impact to the organization?
* High Impact: there's a high or absolute likelihood of consequences, including but not limited to:
* Business operation outage to critical systems
* Large reputational damage
* Large amount of regulated data exposed
* Catastrophic exposure of trade secrets
* Large financial loss
* Medium Impact: there's a high or absolute likelihood of consequences, including but not limited to:
* Business operation outage to non-critical systems
* Limited reputational damage
* Limited amount of regulated data exposed
* Limited exposure of trade secrets
* Limited financial loss
* Low Impact
* No business operation outage
* No reputational damage
* No amount of regulated data exposed
* No exposure of trade secrets
* No financial loss

alerts and events. Alerts are security events generated by a security
technology based on events it observed. Events are atomic elements like log
messages. Expel uses 2 combined approaches for mapping alerts to our alert
severity of Critical, High, Medium or Low:
* Categorization by alert fidelity and impact
* Categorization by security product fidelity

GitHub self-hosted (on-prem) setup for Workbench | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/14049611141779-GitHub-self-hosted-on-prem-setup-for-Workbench | "2023-02-16T18:36:02" | This article explains how to connect GitHub to Workbench.
#### In this article
* Before you start
* Step 1: Install the self-hosted GitHub App
* Step 2: Configure the technology in Workbench
## Before you start
You must have:
* A GitHub Enterprise account license. For more information, see GitHub products.
### Note
This procedure is specifically for self-hosted GitHub deployments. For cloud-
hosted, use the GitHub cloud-hosted Workbench setup guide.
## Step 1: Install the self-hosted GitHub App
Workbench uses a GitHub App as part of the onboarding process. During
installation, the Expel GitHub App receives the following organization-level
privileges:
* Members: Read+Write
* Administration: Read-only
### Note
GitHub doesn't log user identities, making it difficult to track suspicious
activity at the user level. To solve this problem, Expel uses Write
Permissions to map GitHub data to a user's identity.
1. Use the Create a GitHub App instructions to create a custom application in the organization you want monitored. Fill in the required fields like this:
* GitHub app name: ExpelGitHubIntegration
* https://github.com/apps/expelgithubintegration
* Permissions:
* Members: Read+Write
* Administration: Read-Only
* Leave all other fields blank.
2. Navigate to the organization's Apps Settings page. Example URL: https://github.*****/organizations/*****/settings/apps/ExpelGitHubIntegration.
3. Write down the App ID.
4. Use the Authenticating with GitHub Apps instructions to generate a private key and store it for later use. This is your PEM key and you need it in the next section.
* ### Note
If you have multiple organizations, create a separate Security Device in
Workbench for each organization.
5. If you are using an Expel Assembler within your network, use the Managing allowed IP addresses for a GitHub App instructions to add the assembler's internal IP to the allow list. Otherwise, add the Expel egress IPs to the allow list:
* 34.75.13.114
* 34.75.152.7
* 35.243.190.98
* 104.196.158.205
* 34.75.81.28
* 34.75.210.18
## Step 2: Configure the technology in Workbench
Now that we have the correct access configured and noted the credentials, we
can integrate your tech with Workbench.
### Note
Expel secures all login information our SOC analysts need about your devices
in a MFA password product. Access to this login information is protected using
our internal MFA processes. To learn more about the IP addresses all Expel
traffic comes from, go here.
1. In a new browser tab, login to https://workbench.expel.io/settings/security-devices?setupIntegration=github.
2. For Where is your device? select:
1. If you decided to allowlist the Expel egress IPs, select Cloud.
2. If you are using an Assembler, select On-prem.
3. For Assembler select the Assembler from the list. N/A for Cloud.
4. Complete these fields using the credentials and information from Step 1.
* For Name type the name of your GitHub organization.

* For Enterprise slug type the Enterprise name.
* For the Application installation ID type the installation ID from Step 1.
* For Application ID type the application ID from Step 1.
* For Application Private PEM, copy and paste the PEM file contents from Step 1.
5. Click Save.
You can see if the device is healthy on the Security Devices page. It may take
a few minutes to see the device listed as healthy.
To check if alerts are coming through, navigate to the Alerts Analysis page.
Scroll to the device you want to check and click View alerts. Switch to grid
view, then check the list for device alerts. It can take 36 to 72 hours for
alerts to appear after setup, as we tune your device.

How to provision Expel Assembler | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/1500002718861-How-to-provision-Expel-Assembler | "2021-02-17T20:44:46" | The Expel Assembler enables you to create a secure VPN connection so that we
can access your security devices. We’ve packaged it as a virtual machine. If
you install virtual machine images regularly, this should be pretty
straightforward.
#### In this article
* Do you need an Assembler?
* Download the Assembler image
* Register the Assembler in the Expel Workbench
* Deploy the Assembler virtual machine in your network
* Activate the Assembler through the virtual machine console
* Authorize the Assembler in the Expel Portal
## Do you need an Assembler?
The Expel Assembler is only needed if a security device you want to connect to
Workbench is on an internal network to your company. If Workbench can connect
directly to the security device, you don’t need an Assembler at all! Just go
right to adding the security device in Workbench.
## Before you start
Before you get started, you need 2 things.
1. A place to run the Expel Assembler virtual machine. We work with VMWare or Hyper V for on-prem environments and AWS or Microsoft Azure for cloud environments. The Assembler needs the following resources available:
* 4 virtual CPUs
* 8 GB RAM
* 100 GB disk space
2. Connect the Assembler virtual machine to the following network resources:
* Our VPN servers:
**Host**
|
**Ports**
---|---
provisionvpn.opsv2.expel.io
|
TCP 443 or TCP 8099
servicevpn.opsv2.expel.io
* The security devices you want to connect to the Expel Assembler. Search this knowledge base for documentation on each security device.
* Your DHCP server, unless you decide to assign a static IP to the Assembler.
* Your DNS server.
If your network is segmented, you may need to deploy multiple Assemblers. If
you have any questions about how many Assemblers to install, let us know and
we’ll recommend the best approach for your environment.
## Download the Assembler image
### Note
If you are deploying the assembler image in Amazon Web Services (AWS), then
skip this section and go to Register the Assembler in the Expel Workbench.
1. In Expel Workbench, click Settings in the top navigation bar.
2. Click Assemblers in the left navigation panel.
3. Click Download installer.
---
4. Click the installer link for your virtualization technology.
---
5. Note the hash of the file downloaded for error checking in Step 7.
---
6. Now’s a good time to grab a cup of coffee because it’ll take a few minutes to download.
* If the hash matches, continue to Register the Assembler in Expel Workbench.
* If the hash doesn't match, download it again and re-check the hash.
* If the hash still doesn’t match after the second time, something’s not right. In that case, contact your engagement manager or customer success engineer in Slack or by email, or you can email devicehealth@expel.io.
7. After the download completes, verify that a hash of the file downloaded matches the data shown in Expel Workbench. The table below shows how you can do this for the 3 main operating systems.
### Caution
This is an important step because it confirms that your download is complete
and that no one tampered with the image.
**Operating system**
|
**Hash to verify**
|
**Command**
---|---|---
Windows
|
SHA256
|
Search for cmd, and select cmd.exe or “Command Prompt” from the results. Run
these commands in the window that opens:
cd <your download folder>
certutil -hashfile expel-assembler-vmware- <version>.ova sha256
Mac OS
|
SHA256
|
In Spotlight Search, search for the Terminal program and run it. In the
terminal window, run this command:
shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/expel-assembler-vmware- <version>.ova
Linux
|
SHA256
|
In a terminal program, run:
sha256sum ~/Downloads/expel-assembler-vmware- <version>.ova
## Register the Assembler in the Expel Workbench
1. In Workbench, click Settings in the top navigation bar, then Assemblers on the left navigation panel. You see a box with the Assembler Name and Location fields. If not, click the Add Assembler button.
2. Type the Assembler Name and Location for the Assembler. It’s best to select names that are meaningful to both you and to Expel so you can easily identify the Assembler in the user interface. For example: ACME HQ.
3. Click Save.
4. Note the Install Code for the newly registered Assembler. You need this later to activate the Assembler.
5. To add another Assembler, click the Add Assembler button and repeat these steps.
#### Deploy the Assembler virtual machine in your network
Click a link for instructions on deploying the Assembler virtual machine in
your network:
* Deploying the Expel Assembler in AWS.
* Deploying the Expel Assembler On VMWare.
* Deploying the Expel Assembler on Hyper-V.
* Deploying the Expel Assembler on Microsoft Azure.
## Activate the Assembler through the virtual machine console
1. Select the newly deployed Virtual Machine for the Assembler.
2. Open the console of the Assembler.
3. Log in with username expel and password expel.
4. Set a unique and secure password for the expel account. First type the existing password (expel), then type the new password 2 more times. Securely store the new password per your organization's policies. You need it to log in to the Assembler again.
Note: Your password must be at least 8 characters and not a word found in the
dictionary.
You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)
Changing password for expel.
(current) UNIX password: expel
New password: <enter new password>
Retype new password: <enter new password again>
---
5. Azure users only: delete the users you created during VM creation by running:
sudo userdel temp
6. Determine the network interface to use by running:
sudo expelmanage --list-interfaces
7. The Assembler uses DHCP by default. To use DHCP, skip to the next step. To use a static network configuration, run:
sudo expelmanage --net --interface <interface name> --type static --ip <IP address> --netmask <subnet mask> --gateway <gateway IP> --dns <nameserver IP>
<interface name> is determined in the previous step.
---
### Note
Get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP, and nameserver IP to input the
above command from your virtualization administrator.
8. Activate the Assembler by supplying the 8-character install code created in Register the Assembler:
sudo expelmanage --activate <eight-character install code>
You see output like this:
[expel@hostname ~]$ sudo expelmanage --activate abcd1234
Activation code set
Regenerating SSH keys
Activated
[expel@hostname ~]$
---
9. Run exit to log out of the console.
## Authorize the Assembler in the Expel Portal
Within 30 seconds of activating the Assembler with a matching install code,
the Assembler you registered at https://workbench.expel.io/settings/assemblers
changes status from Not Yet Connected to Connected, and an Authorize button
appears for the Assembler. Click the Authorize button.
Workbench now automatically configures the Assembler. This process takes about
10 minutes but can take longer if you have a slow network connection. After
complete, the status changes to Active.
If any errors occur along the way, leave everything as it is and file a
support case. We can often fix any issues without any further involvement from
you after it's connected to our VPN.
You can now begin to turn on your security devices. Follow the instructions in
the Getting connected to Expel Workbench.

Lacework setup for Workbench | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/1500002718881-Lacework-setup-for-Workbench | "2021-02-17T20:44:47" | This article explains how to connect Lacework to Workbench.
#### In this article
* Step 1: Enable console access
* Step 2: Generate API credentials
* Step 3: Configure the technology in Workbench
* Step 4: Edit the device to add console access
## Step 1: Enable console access
Create a user in Lacework for Workbench or create an SSO user for Workbench
with access to Lacework.
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.
## Step 2: Generate API credentials
To integrate the technology with Workbench, we need to create secure
credentials to the API.
Lacework provides a combination of API Access keys and tokens to be used by
clients and client applications to access the Lacework API. API access key IDs
and secret access keys are created using the Lacework Console. Temporary
access (bearer) tokens, used by clients, are created using the Lacework API.
Only administrators can create API access keys with a limit of 2 per user. An

Okta setup for Workbench | https://support.expel.io/hc/en-us/articles/1500002872662-Okta-setup-for-Workbench | "2021-02-17T20:44:46" | This article explains how to connect Okta to Workbench.
#### In this article
* Step 1: Enable console access
* Step 2: Generate API credentials
* Step 3: Configure the technology in Workbench
## Step 1: Enable console access
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.
1. Create a user in Okta for Expel.
* Select Directory and People.
* Under People select Add person.
* User type: User
* First name: Expel
* Last name: SOC
* Username: soc+<Your_Organization_Name>@expel.io
### Tip
Yes, the "+" sign is part of the email address, and it's important. Click here
to find out why.
* Primary email: same as username
* Password: set by user
* Select Send user activation email now.
* Click Save.
2. Notify your customer success engineer that the registration email is sent.
## Step 2: Generate API credentials
To integrate the technology with Workbench, we need to create secure
credentials to the API.
1. Sign into your Okta organization as a user with Read-Only Admin privileges. API tokens have the same permissions as the user who creates them, and if the user permissions change, the API token permissions also change.
* Okta permissions table:
https://help.okta.com/oie/en-us/Content/Topics/Security/administrators-admin-
comparison.htm
2. Open the API page.
* If you use the Developer Console, select Tokens from the API menu.
* If you use the Administrator Console (Classic UI), select API from the Security menu, and then select Tokens.
3. Click Create Token.
4. Name your token ExpelAPI and click Create Token.
### Note
Make note of your API token, as you only see it 1 time.
5. Collect your Okta URL (also called an Okta domain).
* Sign in to your Okta organization with your administrator account.
* Look for the Okta domain in the upper right corner of the dashboard.
## Step 3: Configure the technology in Workbench
Now that we have the correct access configured and noted the credentials, we
can integrate your tech with Workbench.
1. Log into https://workbench.expel.io.
2. Navigate to Settings > Security Devices.
3. At the top of the page, click Add New Device.
4. Search for and select Okta.
* Complete all fields using the credentials and information you collected in Step 1 and Step 2.
5. Click Save.
You can see if the device is healthy on the Security Devices page. It may take
a few minutes to see the device listed as healthy.
To check if alerts are coming through, navigate to the Alerts Analysis page.
Scroll to the device you want to check and click View alerts. Switch to grid
view, then check the list for device alerts. It can take 36 to 72 hours for
alerts to appear after setup, as we tune your device.
