# FortiSIEM

FortiSIEM is an advanced Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution that combines advanced log and traffic analysis with performance/availability monitoring, change analysis, and accurate knowledge of the infrastructure to provide accurate threat detection, remediation, incident response, and compliance reporting. See <https://www.fortinet.com/products/siem>. You can protect access to FortiSIEM by integrating FortiSIEM with Identity as a Service. Once integrated, users can use single sign-on to log in to their FortiSIEM account through Identity as a Service.

note

This integration was tested using Identity as a Service version 5.32 and FortiSIEM version VA 7.0.2.0043. Other versions of FortiSIEM may require integration and configuration steps that differ from those documented in this procedure. For other versions of FortiSIEM, use this procedure as a starting point for integrating FortiSIEM. In the event of other issues, contact <support@entrust.com> for assistance.

To integrate FortiSIEM with Identity as a Service, you must do the following:

## Step 1: Copy the SAML Configuration from Identity as a Service

1. Log into your Identity as a Service administrator account.
2. Click Menu icon **>** **Security > Applications**. The **Applications** **Lists** page appears.
3. Under **SAML Cloud Integrations**, click **SAML Configuration**. The **SAML Configuration** dialog box appears. This dialog box contains information you need to configure your SAML application for Identity as a Service authentication.
4. Do one of the following:
   - Leave this dialog box open to reference later in this procedure.
   - Copy the Entity ID, Single Sign-on URL, and Single Logout URL to a text file and save it to reference later in this procedure.

note

Depending on the integration you are performing, you may not need all three of these SAML configuration values.

## Step 2: Copy the signing certificate from Identity as a Service

1. Log in to your Identity as a Service administrator account.
2. Click Menu icon **>** **Security > Applications**. The **Applications List** page appears.
3. Under **SAML Cloud Integrations**, click **SAML Signing Certificates**. The **SAML Signing Certificates** page appears.
