Integrate Ivanti Connect Secure

You can integrate Ivanti Connect Secure with Sophos XDR so that it sends data to Sophos for analysis. The integration uses a data collector, which receives third-party data and sends it to the Sophos Data Lake.

Key steps

The key steps in an Ivanti Connect Secure integration are as follows:

  • Install and configure a data collector if you haven't already done so.
  • Configure Ivanti Connect Secure to send data to the data collector.

Requirements

The following is required for Ivanti Connect Secure configuration:

  • Check the requirements for the data collector you're using by reviewing the guides at Data collectors.

Add an Ivanti Connect Secure integration

To integrate Ivanti Connect Secure, you must first install a Sophos XDR data collector, then configure Ivanti to send logs to it.

Install and configure a data collector

Ivanti Connect Secure must be configured to send logs to the Sophos XDR data collector. Logs are filtered and correlated in real-time for various security event observations. Go to Data collectors and follow the guide for creating a data collector if you haven't already done so.

Configure logging and enable monitoring

When the data collector is ready, you can configure Ivanti Connect Secure to send us data.

To set up event forwarding via syslog, do as follows:

  1. Follow the steps in Ivanti's own guide: Configuring Syslog.

  2. Be sure to configure the following data collector details:

    • IP address: Enter the Sophos XDR data collector's server IP address.
    • Events to Log: Select all types to log.
    • Filter: Select Standard.

  3. Repeat the same process for user access, admin access, sensors, and client logs, so that all categories are sent to the Sophos XDR data collector for processing.

Your Ivanti Connect Secure data should now appear in the Sophos Data Lake after validation.

Configuration notes

Keep the following in mind during Ivanti Connect Secure configuration:

  • You can configure multiple instances of Ivanti to send data to Sophos via the same data collector. After you finish integration, repeat the steps in this section for your other instances of Ivanti.
