Configure Syslog Forwarding for Enterprise DLP Incidents

Configure one or more Log Forwarding profiles to forward Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) incidents syslogs to manage and create workflows.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • NGFW (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
  • Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) license
    Review the Supported Platforms for details on the required license for each enforcement point.
Or any of the following licenses that include the Enterprise DLP license
  • Prisma Access CASB license
  • Next-Generation CASB for Prisma Access and NGFW (CASB-X) license
  • Data Security license
Create a Log Forwarding profile to automatically forward Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) incident syslogs to your third-party security information and event management (SIEM), Security Orchestration, and Response (SOAR), or other automated ticketing systems. This enables your SOC Analysts and Incident admins to effectively triage, review, and resolve data security risks that occur in your organization. You can configure a single Log Forwarding profile for multiple enforcement points or you can create a different Log Forwarding profile for each. You can associate the same enforcement channel with multiple Log Forwarding profiles.
Enterprise DLP forwards DLP incident syslogs over a UDP or TCP port, and requires a persistent connection to your SIEM, SOAR, or ticketing system to forward DLP incident syslogs. Enterprise DLP can only forward DLP incident syslogs while successfully connected to your SIEM, SOAR, or ticketing system. Enterprise DLP automatically continues forwarding your Enterprise DLP incident syslogs to your SIEM, SOAR, or ticketing system after connectivity is restored. However, Enterprise DLP can't forward any syslogs generated while Enterprise DLP and your SIEM, SOAR, or ticketing are disconnected.
Enterprise DLP sends an email to the admin that originally connected Enterprise DLP to your SIEM, SOAR, or ticketing system using the Log Forwarding profile and to the user who last modified the Log Forwarding profile settings. Enterprise DLP sends this email only one time at the time of disconnect. If you update the SIEM, SOAR, or ticketing system connecting settings and Enterprise DLP again losses connectivity, then another email is sent to notify you of the ongoing connectivity issue.
It takes 15 minutes for your syslog forwarding configuration to take effect after you add, edit, or delete a Log Forwarding profile, or when you add a Syslog server profile to a Log Forwarding profile.
Review the syslog field descriptions provided below for more information on what data is included in syslogs forwarded from Enterprise DLP.

  1. Allow the IP addresses required to forward DLP incident syslogs.
  2. Log in to Strata Cloud Manager.
  3. Select ManageConfigurationData Loss PreventionSettingsLogging Settings.
  4. Add Log Forwarding Profile.
  5. Enter a descriptive Log Forwarding profile Name.
  6. For the Channel, select one or more enforcement channels to which the log forwarding applies.
    Enterprise DLP forwards all DLP incidents logs based on the selected channels. For example, if you select NGFW and Prisma Access then Enterprise DLP forwards syslogs for all DLP incidents generated from traffic originating from any NGFW and Prisma Access tenant associated with your Customer Support Portal account that have an active Enterprise DLP license.
    Select at least one of the following options.
    • Supported Channels
      • NGFW
      • Prisma Access
      • Endpoint DLP
  7. For the Syslog Server Profile, Create New Profile to define the syslog server connection settings.
    Enterprise DLP doesn't support deleting or editing a syslog server profile after it's been created. Be sure you are confident the configuration is correct before you Save the syslog server profile and attach it to your Log Forwarding profile.
    Repeat this step to add as many syslog server profiles as needed.
    1. Enter the Syslog Profile Name.
    2. Enter the Syslog Server IP address or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) server name.
    3. Select and enter the Syslog Port used for forwarding syslogs.
    4. Select the Syslog Facility for syslogs forwarded from Enterprise DLP.
      The syslog facility is a numeric code that identifies the source of a log message and is used to categorize log messages. Enterprise DLP supports Log(0) through Log(7). Enterprise DLP supports one syslog facility per Syslog server profile.
    5. Select the Connection Type to define the protocol used for communicating with your syslog server.
      Enterprise DLP supports UDP and TCP ports.
    6. (Optional) Upload the Server CA certificate used to establish trust between Enterprise DLP and your SIEM, SOAR, or ticketing system during Transport Layer Security (TLS) communication.
      Enterprise DLP currently supports Private server certificate authority (CA) certificates. Browse and upload the syslog server CA if required for Enterprise DLP to forward syslogs to your SIEM, SOAR, or ticketing system.
    7. Select the Log Format to forward to your syslog server. You can select LEEF and CEF.
    8. Enter the Recipient email address for alerts.
      This email receives alerts when Enterprise DLP loses connectivity to your SIEM, SOAR, or ticketing system or if Enterprise DLP fails to forward a syslog.
    9. Save the Syslog server profile.
  8. Enable the Log Forwarding profile.
