Configuring Broadcom (Symantec) Cloud Workload Protection Connectors

The Broadcom (Symantec) Cloud Workload Protection connector allows you to ingest event and alert logs to the Stellar Cyber data lake.

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 Broadcom (Symantec) Cloud Workload Protection Connector

To add the Broadcom (Symantec) Cloud Workload Protection connector:

  1. Obtain the required credentials
  2. Add the connector in Stellar Cyber
  3. Test the connector

Obtaining the Required Credentials

To configure this connector in Stellar Cyber, you will need the following information from your Broadcom (Symantec) Cloud Workload Protection deployment:

  • Customer ID

  • Domain ID

  • Client ID

  • Client Secret

Adding the Connector in Stellar Cyber

With the configuration information handy, you can add the Broadcom (Symantec) Cloud Workload Protection connector in Stellar Cyber:

  1. Log in to Stellar Cyber.

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

  3. Click Create. The General tab of the Add Connector screen appears. The information on this tab cannot be changed after you add the connector.

    The asterisk (*) indicates a required field.

  4. Choose Cloud Security from the Category drop-down.

  5. Choose Symantec Cloud Workload Protection from the Type drop-down.

  6. For this connector, the supported Function is Collect, which is enabled already.

  7. Enter a Name.

    This field does not accept multibyte characters.

  8. Choose a Tenant Name. The Interflow records created by this connector include this tenant name.

  9. Choose the device on which to run the connector .

  10. (Optional) When the Function is Collect, you can create Log Filters. For information, see Managing Log Filters.

  11. Click Next. The Configuration tab appears.

    The asterisk (*) indicates a required field.

  12. Enter the Customer ID you copied earlier.

  13. Enter the Domain ID you copied earlier.

  14. Enter the Client ID you copied earlier.

  15. Enter the Client Secret you copied earlier.

  16. Choose the Interval (min). This is how often the logs are collected.

  17. Select the Content Type you want to collect:

    • Alert

    • Event CWP

    • Event CWP-S

    • Event CWP-SPE

  18. Click Next. The final confirmation tab appears.

  19. Click Submit.

    To pull data, a connector must be added to a Data Analyzer profile if it is running on the Data Processor.

The new connector is immediately active.

Testing the Connector

When you add (or edit) a connector, we recommend that you run a test to validate the connectivity parameters you entered. (The test validates only the authentication / connectivity; it does not validate data flow).

For connectors running on a sensor, Stellar Cyber recommends that you allow 30-60 seconds for new or modified configuration details to be propagated to the sensor before performing a test.

  1. Click System | Integrations | Connectors. The Connector Overview appears.

  2. Locate the connector that you added, or modified, or that you want to test.

  3. Click Test at the right side of that row. The test runs immediately.

    Note that you may run only one test at a time.

Stellar Cyber conducts a basic connectivity test for the connector and reports a success or failure result. A successful test indicates that you entered all of the connector information correctly.

To aid troubleshooting your connector, the dialog remains open until you explicitly close it by using the X button. If the test fails, you can select the  button from the same row to review and correct issues.

The connector status is updated every five (5) minutes. A successful test clears the connector status, but if issues persist, the status reverts to failed after a minute.

Repeat the test as needed.
