Integration Details

ThreatQuotient provides the following details for this integration:

Introduction

The Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) operation allows users to manage system tags in Trellix ePO.

The operation provides the following actions:

  • Manage Tags Apply - applies tag(s) to systems in ePO.
  • Manage Tags Exclude - adds exclude tag(s) to systems in ePO.
  • Manage Tags Clear tags - removes tag(s) from systems in ePO.
  • Get System Information -  prints the complete information about the endpoint from ePO.

The operation is compatible with the Assets custom object type.  

Prerequisites

The following is required in order to install and run the operation:

  • Assets object installed on your ThreatQ instance.
  • Route between ThreatQ and Trellix ePO.
  • Trellix products:
    • ePO with an installed Endpoint Security extension
  • Trellix ePO username and password to use with the integration

Asset Object

The integration requires the Asset object.  The Asset installation files are included with the integration download on the ThreatQ Marketplace.  The Asset object must be installed prior to installing the integration.  

You do not have to install the Asset object if you are running ThreatQ version 5.10.0 or greater as the object has been seeded as a default system object.

See the Custom Objects topic for steps on how to install the required custom object.

Installation

The operation requires the installation of a custom object before installing the actual operation if your are on ThreatQ version 5.9.0 or earlier.  See the Prerequisites chapter for more details.  The custom object must be installed prior to installing the operation.  Attempting to install the operation without the custom object will cause the operation install process to fail. 

This integration can be installed in the My Integration section of your ThreatQ instance. See the Adding an Integration topic for more details.
