Orchestrate Platform


The Orchestrate platform is part of the Crystal Eye XDR ecosystem allowing Red Piranha Partners to monitor real time CE XDR metrics of multiple deployments of their clients from a centralized platform.

The Orchestrate dashboard unifies security operations ensuring a centralized approach while dealing with organizational threats. This is made possible with the orchestrate platform’s ability to collect data from multiple Crystal Eye XDRs deployed across the organization. The data collected from these deployments are visualized in dynamic Orchestrate dashboards providing security analysts and risk advisors greater network visibility and an opportunity to decrease the mean time to respond to threats.

The Orchestrate platform also facilitates security automation providing the required leverage to SOC teams and teams acting at a risk advisory level to detect, respond and treat organizational threats through a centralized platform.

Red Piranha’s Orchestrate platform offers the ability to assign role-based access control for staff members and external team members. Access can be granted to specific modules of the orchestrate based on roles such as billing authority, technical manager, security manager and training.

The Orchestrate platform has a robust ACL management module built into its user interface which allows MSSPs it’s clients to collaborate and provide cross accounts permissions.

ACL Management in Orchestrate explained with respect to various collaboration stages between a Red Piranha Partner & its client: crystal-eye-orchestrate-acl-management10

Stage 1: In a general use case portraying Red Piranha Partner & Client collaboration, a Red Piranha partner invites an end-client to create an Orchestrate account.

Stage 2: The client creates the Orchestrate account and logs in after which the desired access permissions is provided to the Red Piranha Partner. Completion of this process also ensures that the end-client account is linked to the RP Partner managed account.

Stage 3: Later, the RP Partner assigns role-based access control for its staff members so that they have access to the designated modules of the End-client’s Orchestrate account.

Let’s understand the 3 stages of Red Piranha Partner & Client collaboration in the Orchestrate with the help of the use case below:

The Red Piranha Partner invites its client to create an Orchestrate account.

The End-client in turn provides access to the following Orchestrate modules:

  1. Billing Authority (Orders, Services, Tracking System, Cart)
  2. Technical Manager (Agreements, Training, Your Staff)
  3. Security Manager (Devices, Application Status, System Status, Schedules, Reports, Incident Report)

The Red Piranha Partner provides its staff access to the selective modules of the end-clients Orchestrate account based on their roles.

Let’s configure the Red Piranha partner managed Orchestrate account and a self-managed client Orchestrate account to reflect the above use case.

The Red Piranha Partner uses the Orchestrate platform to invite an end-Client to create an Orchestrate Account

Step 1: Go to My Clients > Overview crystal-eye-orchestrate-acl-management1

Step 2: You will now see the My Clients Overview page. Click the Add Client button. crystal-eye-orchestrate-acl-management2

Step 3: You will now see the Add Client pop-up. Enter the Client Name, Client Email Address and click the Add Client button. In this case we have added the client’s name as Angela Enterprise and the email address as [email protected] crystal-eye-orchestrate-acl-management3

Note: Once the end-client is added as a client in the Red Piranha partner’s account an invite email is sent to the end-client to create an orchestrate account. Refer the screenshot below to see the contents of the automated emails. crystal-eye-orchestrate-acl-management4

The End-client Allows Full Access or Partial Access to the Red Piranha Partner to various Orchestrate modules (the following steps are to be done in the end-client’s Orchestrate account)

Step 4: Post end-client account creation and log in, go to My Settings > ACL Management. crystal-eye-orchestrate-acl-management5

Step 5: You will now see the Client to Partner ACL interface.

Select the following and click the Update Access button.

  1. Billing Authority (Orders, Services, Tracking System, Cart)
  2. Technical Manager (Agreements, Training, Your Staff)
  3. Security Manager (Devices, Application Status, System Status, Schedules, Reports, Incident Report) crystal-eye-orchestrate-acl-management6

Note: In our scenario we have given full access to the Red Piranha Partner by allowing access to all three categories namely, Billing Authority, Technical Manager and Security Manager. Partial access to these sections can also be given as desired.

Role-based Access Control assigned by the Red Piranha Partner for its staff (the following steps will be pursued in the partner managed Orchestrate account)

Step 6: Go to My Settings > My Staff crystal-eye-orchestrate-acl-management7

Step 7: You will see the Your Staff page. Click the Update Roles to Clients button next to the staff member for which role-based access control needs to be assigned. crystal-eye-orchestrate-acl-management8

Note: In our scenario we will pick a staff member ‘Shiya Thomas’ and assign her the role of a Security Manager. She will have access to Devices, Application Status, System Status, Schedules, Reports, and Incident Report.

Important: You may add an existing staff or a new staff member by just clicking the Add Staff button.

Step 8: You will now see the role-based access control pop-up of the staff member. In our case we have pulled up the details of the staff member ‘Shiya Thomas’. In the screenshot below the MSSP staff Shiya Thomas is given access to monitor Devices, Application Status, System Status, Schedules, Reports, and Incident Report. crystal-eye-orchestrate-acl-management9
