To export Pine Labs logs to your SIEM with least-privilege scopes, you should primarily use webhooks for real-time events and a dedicated API key to programmatically pull transaction reports. This approach ensures that your SIEM integration can only listen to specific events or pull predefined reports, preventing it from making other changes or accessing sensitive data outside its scope.
Here is a step-by-step process for this least-privilege approach.
- Set up webhooks for real-time events
Webhooks are the most efficient way to capture real-time transaction events as they happen. They push data to your system, eliminating the need for continuous API polling.
- Create a dedicated API key for historical data
Webhooks are not suitable for retrieving historical log data, such as detailed transaction reports. For this, you will need a dedicated API key.
- Build a secure data pipeline
A secure pipeline fetches the data from Pine Labs and forwards it to your SIEM.
- Configure the SIEM for ingestion
Configure your SIEM to receive, parse, and analyze the Pine Labs log data.
