Launch Actions from USM Anywhere
If you want to apply an action to similar events that occur in the future, you can also create orchestration rules directly from an action applied to an alarm, event, or vulnerability.
When reviewing an alarm originated from a Cisco Secure Firewall ASA event, should you conclude that the Cisco Secure Firewall ASA user account has been compromised, you can launch an action to inactivate the Cisco Secure Firewall ASA user account associated with that alarm. If you want to apply the action to similar alarms that occur in the future, you can create an orchestration rule after you apply the action.
To launch a Cisco Secure Firewall ASA response action
- Go to Activity > Alarms, Activity > Events, or Environment > Vulnerabilities.
- Click the alarm, event, or vulnerability to open the details.
- Click Select Action.
-
In the Select Action dialog box, select Run Cisco Secure Firewall ASA Action and enter the Cisco Secure Firewall ASA Group Name and Group Description.
Additional fields will be populated based on the action you've selected. Fill out the necessary fields for the app action.
