Cortex XSOAR

The IONIX content pack allows you to seamlessly receive all your IONIX Action Items and supportive information into Cortex XSOAR, and thus create and view dashboards, create custom alerts, streamline remediation and improve investigations. Integration between IONIX and Cortex XSOAR makes use of REST API.

Cortex XSOAR Integration Guide

IONIX can export incidents and relevant information directly to Cortex XSOAR. The integration involves having the Cortex XSOAR make calls to IONIX API endpoints in order to retrieve the information. Thus, you will need to enter the IONIX Server URL as well as a valid IONIX API key to Cortex.

The server URL is https://<your portal’s name at IONIX >.ionix.com, e.g., https://hportal.ionix.com

Generating a new API key:

1. Log into the IONIX portal

2. Click the API Settings button

3. Provide a name for the token, specify if the token is read-write or read-only (only the latter is necessary), and set an expiry date.

4. Click “Create Token”

5. Copy the generated token to a secure file. You’ll need it later.
