    Endpoint Protection API: Subscriptions endpoints end of life on 11th of March 2024

    The old subscriptions endpoints are deprecated and should be replaced by the subscription endpoints in the Provisioning API. To use this API, you need to request Read-only Provisioning API credentials from WithSecure Support. Access to Provisioning API is only for partner (SOP) accounts.

    The following Endpoint Protection API subscriptions endpoints will stop working on the 11.03.2024:

    • Get company subscription details
    • Get partner subscription details
    • List company subscriptions
    • List partner subscriptions
    • Remove computers from subscription (replaced by Elements API endpoints “Update device state” or “Delete device”)

    Query EPP, EDR and Collaboration Protection (ECP) Security Events

    New Elements Security Events query endpoint has been released and is available for new and existing integrations. New endpoint allows querying Security Events generated in Endpoint Protection (EPP), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Collaboration Protection (ECP).

    Support for Collaboration Protection engines allows reading Security Events related to Microsoft Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams from REST API. To get last 10 Collaboration Protection events with cURL run command curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <authorization token>" -d "persistenceTimestampEnd=2030-12-31T00:00:00Z&engineGroup=ecp&limit=10" https://api.connect.withsecure.com/security-events/v1/security-events. More examples can be found in endpoint documentation, Getting started guide and in Elements API Cookbook.

    Q&A

    Q: Why do you introduce new endpoint instead extending capabilities of existing one?

    A: Existing GET /security-events/v1/security-events endpoint is a legacy from early releases and cannot be easily extended to support Collaboration Protection events. The new endpoint has a more modern design and will make it easier to add new features and capabilities in the future.

    Q: Is Security Events query endpoint compatible with existing endpoint?

    A: If you're interested only with events from EPP and EDR then you won't notice any significant differences. Security Events query endpoint preserves format of response that is known from existing endpoint. If you're interested with Collaboration Protection events you need to adjust your integration and prepare it for different response - for example they don't have device properties or user name.

    Q: I'm only interested with Security Events from EPP and EDR. What I need to change after switching to new endpoint.

    A: Response for EPP and EDR engines contains same properties that are present in response from
    GET /security-events/v1/security-events. In order to get EPP and EDR events you need to make
    following changes in your integration:

    • send query parameters in request body,
    • add to request HTTP header Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded,
    • add to request HTTP header Accept: application/json,
    • add parameter engineGroup=epp,edr to request body in order to receive only Security Events from EDR and EPP
    • adjust value of parameter limit - maximal allowed value is 200

    Q: What will happen with existing GET /security-events/v1/security-events endpoint.

    A: Existing endpoint will stay there, we don't have plans to remove it or deprecate it. It means that you can continue using it in your integration if you're interested only with EPP and EDR events. We will keep maintaining endpoint (bug fixes) however we will stop adding new features to it. New capabilities will be added only to Security Events query endpoint.

    Elements API: Description added to both incidents and detections endpoints

    “/incidents/v1/incidents” - description of incident entered in Elements Security Center

    Property “description” contains the "incident description" that user inserts in Broad Context Detections (BCD) view under "analysis" tab. This is useful information for a reporting system or a ticketing solution

    “/incidents/v1/detections” - human-friendly description of detection

    Property “description” contains value that is visible in detections list in Elements Security Center

    Query missing software updates

    Missing software updates query endpoint is available in Elements API. Integration client can list missing updates for particular EPP device and filter results by category and severity. It should be used as replacement for endpoint from legacy EPP API that has been deprecated.

    Example

    To find all critical software updates for single device with curl execute following command

    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -d "deviceId=$DEVICE_ID" -d "severity=critical" https://api.connect.withsecure.com/software-updates/v1/missing-updates

    Replace $TOKEN with authorization token and $DEVICE_ID with device identifier that can
    be found in response from device listing.

    Query not archived EDR incidents

    Client calling Incidents endpoint can request only not archived EDR incidents by adding to query parameter archived=false. Querying only not archived incidents is highly recommended as it might have positive impact on requests speed.

    Example

    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
    https://api.connect.withsecure.com/incidents/v1/incidents?archived=false

    New response actions available

    For the device operations endpoint support for the following new operations is added:

    • assign profile
    • scan for malware
    • show message
    • turn on feature: debug logging
    • collect diagnostic file

    Two new fields are introduced: metadataParameters to POST response and metadata to GET response. Both serve the same purpose - to provide operation specific information. For example, collect diagnostic file returns fileId inside these objects, field which is used to identify diagnostic file.

    For more information and request examples consult endpoints documentation:

    • https://connect.withsecure.com/api-reference/elements#post-/devices/v1/operations
    • https://connect.withsecure.com/api-reference/elements#get-/devices/v1/operations

    New capabilities of Elements API

    Security Events Query endpoint supports new filters and response properties:

    • EPP security events contain device label. Label is only present in events that were created after administrator had added label to EPP device,
    • client can filter security events by targetId - id of EPP device or e-mail address of Office 365 user,
    • client can filter security events by acknowledgement status. To select only not acknowledged events client should add acknowledged=false to request parameters,
    • acknowledged events contains acknowledgement status:
      • acknowledge date,
      • name of user that acknowledged event.

    Clients can use special value no-value in anchor parameter to get first page. It might be useful in various No-code or low-code services
