This article explains how to connect Elastic Endpoint Security to Workbench.

Step 1: Enable console access

This procedure creates a user account for Expel that keeps the Expel activity separate from other activity on the Elastic Endpoint Security console.

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. Navigate to Administration icon on the left, click Users tab, and click Create New User.

  2. For First name add Expel.

    • For Last name type Admin.

    • For Username type Expel.

    • For User Role select Admin.

      Note

      You can select LEVEL 3 access here, although Expel can't view security policies for the device to advise on best practices and configuration. Detection remains unaffected.

    • Create a Password for Expel.

  3. Click Create User.

Tip

After console access is established for Workbench, the remaining onboarding steps for this technology can also be performed by Expel. Reach out to your engagement manager if you want us to help.

Step 2: Configure the technology in Workbench

    • Select the assembler from the list. (On-prem only)

    • For Name, type the host name of the Elastic Endpoint Security device.

    • For Location, type the geographic location of the appliance.

    • For Username, type Expel from Step 1.

    • For Password, type the password used in Step 1.

    • For Server address, type the management/console IP address of the device to be connected through https. For example: https://127.0.0.1.

    • For File unzip password, type the password to unzip the acquired file. If you don't type a password here, the default Endgame password is used.

    • For Acknowledge alerts, select yes to mark Endgame alerts as viewed after Workbench processes them.

    • For Dismiss alerts, select yes to mark Endgame alerts as dismissed after Workbench processes them.

  6. You can provide console access now or set it up later. Use the instructions below to set it up later.
