Approve block list entries for the Check Point NGTP integration

An approval process for Block List entries is part of the preconfigured workflow. You approve Block List entries before the entries are activated on Block Lists. After you approve the Block List entry, the Gateway retrieves the entry, and your observable is blocked from that point forward.

始める前に

• Approval for Block List entries is assigned to Security Incident Administrator (sn_si.admin) by default, but this authority can be assigned as required by your organization. In the following example, the ServiceNow AI Platform admin has approval authority.

Role required: sn.si.admin

このタスクについて

When the approval process is enabled, a Block List entry is not activated or deactivated on the Block List until it is approved.

手順

1. Navigate to All > Check Point NGTP Integration > Block Request List Entries, and open the Block List Entry record.
2. On the Block List Entry record, scroll to the Approval Requests section.

   

3. In Approval requests, click an item in the State column to open it.
   The approval record is displayed.

   

4. Choose one option for approving the Block List entry.

   Option	Description
   Approve	On the entry record, the Status field changes to Added, and the Active check box is selected. The Deactivate button is displayed and active. Work notes show that the request for the Block List entry has been approved.
   Reject	On the entry record, the Status field changes to Rejected, and the Active check box is cleared indicating the entry is not blocked on the Gateway. Work notes show that the request for the Block List entry has been rejected.

   After you have approved the Block List entry and it is activated, the Check Point next-generation firewall retrieves the Block List entry after the next retrieval interval. After the entry is retrieved, the observable is blocked from that point forward. In the following figure, note that the Active check box is selected, the status is Added, and the work notes indicate that the request has been approved.

   

   After the Block List entry is approved and activated, the security incident record is marked with a security tag. The tag is displayed at the top of the record.

   

   The security tag is also displayed on the observable record.
