Configuring SentinelOne Connectors

This connector allows Stellar Cyber to collect data from external sources and add the records to the data lake.

SentinelOne integration with Stellar Cyber provides advanced threat detection and response capabilities, combining AI-powered endpoint protection with real-time threat intelligence and automated response workflows to improve incident response and threat mitigation.

A SentinelOne connector allows you to collect logs, discover assets, and see vulnerabilities. If you enable Respond options on this connector, with the correct type of user account, you can perform the following endpoint response actions:

• Contain (Isolate) Host
• Initiate Scan
• Kill Threat
• Quarantine Threat
• Remediate Threat

The following error from Sentinel One, 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable, is treated by Stellar Cyber as the following error, 429 Too Many Requests, and is not shown on the DP connector list. This will be addressed in a later release.

This connector is improved to use less memory. Under certain scenarios if there is an error reaching the third-party API, some duplicate messages may be sent.

Stellar Cyber connectors with the Collect function (collectors) may skip collecting some data when the ingestion volume is large, which potentially can lead to data loss. This can happen when the processing capacity of the collector is exceeded.

Adding a SentinelOne Connector

To add a SentinelOne connector:

1. Obtain SentinelOne credentials
2. Add the connector in Stellar Cyber
3. Test the connector
4. Verify ingestion

You can also configure SentinelOne to send logs to the Stellar Cyber parser. However, the connector allows you to assign a tenant, while the parser does not.

Obtaining SentinelOne Credentials

As part of this procedure, you specify the credentials of an account on the SentinelOne server that will be used to retrieve data. This account must have read/view permissions or better on the SentinelOne server. To perform response actions, the account must have an administrative role.

1. Log into your SentinelOne Management Console as an administrative user (for example: https://usea1-partners.sentinelone.net/login).

2. From the Management Console navigation pane, select Settings.

   

3. Navigate to Site Info.

   

4. Make sure that Licenses is Complete for the site and that Add-ons is STAR.

   Some content types require an upgraded subscription (STAR) as well as permissions, otherwise the connector will not produce expected results.

5. In the tab for Users, choose Roles.

   • To support the collect only function in Stellar Cyber, choose either Viewer or Admin.

     

   • To support the respond function in Stellar Cyber, choose Admin.

     

6. For the role, set the following permissions for certain content types:

   • To support the Deep Visibility content type, choose Deep Visibility View.

     

   • To support the Threats content type, choose Threats View.

     

   • To support the Rogues content type, choose Rogues View.

     

   If these features are Not allowed (greyed out), contact SentinelOne.

7. Click Save.

8. Choose the Users tab and select the option to add a New User for the account you will use with the Stellar Cyber connector.

   

9. In the User Details, enter the information for the new user.

   

10. Make sure to assign a role to the account, either Viewer or Admin.

    

11. Log out of the SentinelOne Management Console and then log back in with the username you created. You are prompted to create a password for that user. Create the password and complete the login.

12. When logged into the SentinelOne online console as an administrative user, you need to generate an API token for the connector configuration. The token can be generated from a console user or from a service user.

    The following steps are to generate the API token from a console user:

    1. Click the username from the top right of the console and select My User.

       

    2. In the dialog that displays, click the link to Generate an API Token.

    3. This displays the token with a warning to copy it. If you forget the token, you will need to regenerate it. Download it now or Copy it and save it to a file for later use in the connector you configure in Stellar Cyber.

       

    4. Exit the console and proceed to the next section.

    The following steps are to generate the API token from a service user:

    1. Click the USERS tab and choose Service Users. Then select Create New Service User from the Actions menu.

       

    2. Enter the Name of the New Service User and choose an Expiration Date.Then click Next.

       

    3. You can set the Scope of Access for the Account or the Site.

       

    4. To set the Scope of Access for the Account, select Account. Choose Admin or Viewer from the drop-down menu for the role. Choose Admin for respond actions.

       

    5. To set the Scope of Access for the Site, select Site. Choose Admin or Viewer from the drop-down menu for the role. Choose Admin for respond actions.

       

    6. Click Create User.

    7. Copy the API Token.

       

       Store the API key in a safe location. It cannot be retrieved later although it can be regenerated.

    8. Click Close.

Adding the Connector in Stellar Cyber

To add a SentinelOne connector in Stellar Cyber:

1. Log in to Stellar Cyber.

2. Click System | Integration | Connectors. The Connector Overview appears.
