McAfee ePO (Deprecated)
This Integration is part of the McAfee ePO Pack.#
Deprecated
Use McAfee ePO v2 instead.
This integration was integrated and tested with McAfee ePO v5.3.2.
Configure McAfee ePO in Cortex#
- Name: a textual name for the integration instance.
- Url: for example:
https://****:port - Username
- Password
- Trust any certificate (not secure) Mark to trust Certificate Authority.
- Use system proxy settings
Permissions#
McAfee ePO has a highly flexible and powerful permissions system. The permissions required for the user that uses this integration depend on which operations they need to perform. The API user should have the same permissions a regular user would have in order to access the data via the UI. It is possible to view the exact permissions needed for a specific command by running the !epo-help command. The !epo-help command's output will include help information for the specific command including required permissions.
More info about McAfee ePO's permissions model is available here.
Example !epo-help outputs with permission information:
!epo-help command="repository.findPackages":
!epo-help command="repository.deletePackage":
Playbooks#
- McAfee ePO Endpoint Connectivity Diagnostics - Perform a check on ePO endpoints to see if any endpoints are unmanaged or lost connectivity with ePO and take steps to return to valid state.
- McAfee ePO Endpoint Compliance - Discover endpoints that are not using the latest McAfee AV Signatures
- McAfee ePO Repository Compliance - Ensures that ePO servers are updated to the latest McAfee published AV signatures (DAT file version).
- Endpoint Enrichment - Generic v2: uses
epo-find-systemsto enrich an endpoint by hostname.
