This playbook is intended to be run from a Microsoft Sentinel incident. It will extract domains from Microsoft Sentinel incidents and add them to a Zscaler Custom URL Category of your choice.

Requirements

The following items are required under the template settings during deployment:

• The URL of your Zscaler organization
• A configured Zscaler admin account
• A Zscaler API key
• The name of the Zscaler custom URL category you wish to add the Microsoft Sentinel incident domains to
• A Microsoft Azure integration account
• A Microsoft Azure key vault secret containing your Okta API Token

Setup

Zscaler Admin Account:

Before deployment, you will need to configure your Zscaler API roles and API admin account.

For this Playbook to modify your Zscaler custom domain list, you will need a local Zscaler admin account that has access to the read and modify policy. To limit the access this account has to only what is needed, you will need to make a custom administrator role.

• In the Zscaler administration console hover over Administration then click on Role Management.

• Click on Add Administrator Role.

• Create a Name for the Administrator Role and use the settings exactly as depicted in the image below. Then click the Save button.

• Hover over the Activation button and click Activate to enable the new Role.

• Next, hover over Administration and click on Administrator Management.

• Click on Add Administrator.

• Enter a Login ID for the API administrator account you want to create.

• In the Email box you can enter a pre-existing service account, or simply make up an email address which you will not use in your domain. There is no need for email access for this account.

• Enter a name for the account and in the drop-down box below, select the Role you created in the previous step.

• Make sure Password Based Login is checked and create a secure password for this API account.

• Take note of the email address and password, as it will be needed during deployment.

• Click Save, then hover over the Activation button and click Activate. This will enable the new administrator account.

Zscaler API Key:

To get your API key hover over the Administration button and click on API Key Management.

Here you will find you API Key as well as Zscaler Instance Name. You will need both of these when deploying this playbook. The typical instance names are Zscaler, ZscalerOne, ZscalerTwo, ZscalerThree, and ZsCloud.

Zscaler URL Category:

Lastly, you will need to note the custom URL category you want the domains from Microsoft Sentinel incidents added to.

• Hover over the Administration button and click on URL Categories.

• Take note of the name of your desired URL category, as it will be needed during deployment.

In the example below we use name of our Custom category AS_Blocklist. This category in our test environment configured to a Zscaler access policy that disallows users access to any domain in in that list.

Create an Integration Account:

You will need an integration account before this playbook can be deployed, as it is a requirement for executing JavaScript code, which is an operation used in the logic app.

• Navigate to the Azure integration accounts page: https://portal.azure.com/#view/HubsExtension/BrowseResource/resourceType/Microsoft.Logic%2FintegrationAccounts

• From the "Overview" page, select an existing integration account and take note of its name, or click "Create".

• Select the subscription and resource group that this playbook will be deployed to and a name for the integration account, such as "AS-Zscaler-Integration". Review the region and select a pricing tier, then click "Review + create".

• From the "Review + create" page, review the information, then click "Create".

• From the deployment page, take note of the resource name of your integration account, as it will be needed for deployment.

Create Azure Key Vault Secrets:

You will need to add you Zscaler API key and Zscaler password to an Azure key vault.

• Navigate to the Azure key vaults page: https://portal.azure.com/#view/HubsExtension/BrowseResource/resourceType/Microsoft.KeyVault%2Fvaults

• Select an existing key vault or create a new one. From the key vault overview page, click the "Secrets" menu option, found under the "Settings" section. Click "Generate/Import".

• Choose a name for the secret, such as "AS-Zscaler-Integration-API-Key” and enter the Zscaler API key copied previously in the "Value" field. All other settings can be left as is. Click "Create".

• Repeat this process for your Zscaler password.

• Once both secrets have been added to the vault, navigate to the "Access policies" menu option, also found under the "Settings" section on the key vault page menu. Leave this page open, as you will need to return to it once the playbook has been deployed. See Granting Access to Azure Key Vault.

The resources should take around a minute to deploy. Once the deployment is complete, you can expand the "Deployment details" section to view them. You can view the logic app by clicking the corresponding resource.

Granting Access to Azure Key Vault

Before the Logic App can run successfully, the key vault connection created during deployment must be granted access to the key vault storing your Zscaler API key and password.

• From the key vault "Access policies" page, click "Create".

• Select the "Get" checkbox under "Secret permissions", then click "Next".

• Paste "AS-Add-Domains-to-Zscaler-URL-Category" or the alternative playbook name used into the principal search box and click the option that appears. Click "Next" towards the bottom of the page.
