Palo Alto Cortex XSIAM (Pro)

The Cortex XSIAM connector imports alerts from your Cortex XSIAM tenant as findings (Cortex XSIAM:Alerts). Because XSIAM alerts span endpoints, cloud, network and identity, DefectDojo creates a single Record for the whole tenant rather than one per asset.

Prerequisites

A Cortex XSIAM API Key and its API Key ID, created in the XSIAM console under Settings > Configurations > Integrations > API Keys. Use a Standard security-level key — the connector signs each request with the Authorization and x-xdr-auth-id headers.

Assign the key a Role with read access to Alerts and Incidents (for the imported alerts); the credential check also reads Endpoints. A built-in Viewer role, or a custom role with those View permissions, is the minimum.

Connector Mappings

  1. Enter your tenant’s API base URL in the Location field — the FQDN shown on the API Keys page, for example https://api-\<your-tenant\>.xdr.us.paloaltonetworks.com.
  2. Enter the API Key ID.
  3. Enter the API Key secret.
  4. Optionally, set a Minimum Severity to limit which findings are imported.

All of the tenant’s alerts import under the single XSIAM tenant Record.
