This article explains how to connect Singularity Hologram to Workbench.

In this article

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 an 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. Administration > User Accounts > Configure.

  2. Select +Add from the Users List.

    • For User Type select local.

    • Select Privileges checkbox for Admin.

    • For Username type expelsoc.

    • For First Name type Expel.

    • For Last Name type SOC.

    • Type a Password.

  3. Click Save.

Note
After console access is established, the remaining onboarding steps for this technology can also be performed by Expel. Reach out to your engagement manager and we're happy to complete the integration!

Step 2: Logging Singularity Hologram using Sumo Logic and Splunk

Refer to your SIEM documentation or work with your SIEM representative to port in Singularity Hologram logs. You can also refer to the following web references for creating a new Syslog source:

Sumo Logic: https://help.sumologic.com/docs/send-data/installed-collectors/sources/syslog-source/

Splunk: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.2/Data/Monitornetworkports

Step 3: Configure Singularity Hologram 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, go to https://workbench.expel.io/settings/security-devices?setupIntegration=attivo.

  2. Select the Assembler with network connectivity to the Singularity Hologram device. Select the SIEM you created earlier.

    • For Name type the host name of the Singularity Hologram device.

    • For Location type the geographic location of the appliance.

    • For Source Category, type the Sumo Logic source category for this device.

    • For Source Type (SIEM that contains the data) type the Splunk source type for this device.

    • For Server address type the address of the server for console access.

  3. Click Save.
  4. You can provide console access now or set it up later. Use the instructions below to set it up later.

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.

Step 4: Edit the device to add console access

Expel needs console access to your device to allow our SOC analysts to dig deeper during incident investigations. Additionally, our engineering teams use this access to investigate potential health issues, including proper alert ingestion.

Expel secures all login information our SOC analysts need about your devices in an 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. Open Workbench. Go to Organization Settings > Security Devices. Next to the device you just connected, click the down arrow and click Edit.

  2. In the Console Login area, type these details:

    • Console URL: type the console URL from the Server address in the Connection Settings area above. At the end of the URL, type /login.

    • Username: type the user name you created above.

    • Password: type the password you created above.

    • Two-factor secret key (32-character code): depending on how your organization enforces log-ins, this field may not apply to you. In these cases, you can leave it blank. This field is optional and if you have questions or concerns, reach out to your engagement manager or to support.

  3. Click Save.
