Carbon Black Cloud: Can the Authorized IP Addresses Field be Left Blank When Setting Up API Key Configuration?

Environment

Question

When defining the configuration for QRadar in Carbon Black Cloud console is the Authorized IP Addresses field required to be filled?  

Answer

  • The Authorized IP Address field should only be defined for specific IP addresses accessing the API Key/Connector ID.
  • If IP addresses are added to Authorized IP Addresses field, then logs will only be sent to the defined IP addresses.
  • If the Authorized IP Addresses field is left blank, then any IP address will be able to connect using the API Key/Connector ID. 

Additional Notes

  • You can see what IP address is accessing the API key by searching the Audit log for those API keys.
  • The Authorized IP Addresses field will require Public IP addresses opposed to Private IP addresses.
