# Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSIAM

In this guide, you'll create API credentials in Cortex XSIAM to enable Radiant to collect alerts.

At the end of this configuration, you will provide Radiant Security with these items:

* **API Key**
* **API Key ID**
* **API URL (FQDN)**

### Prerequisites

* [ ] System Admin access to Cortex XSIAM

### **Generate API credentials in Palo Alto**

Follow the steps in the [Cortex XSIAM guide](https://docs-cortex.paloaltonetworks.com/r/Cortex-XSIAM-REST-API/Cortex-XSIAM-Overview) to generate the three items needed to enable the API connection with Radiant:

1. Create a new **API Key**. Be sure to copy and store it carefully, as it cannot be retrieved later and can present a security risk if used in an unauthorized fashion.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important Note**: If you do not see the option to add a new key, it means that you do not have the permissions to create access keys. Make sure that you are logged in as an admin.
{% endhint %}

2. Get your **Cortex XSIAM API Key ID**.
3. Get your **FQDN**. (it should have a similar form to `<customer>.xdr.us.paloaltonetworks.com`**)**

### Add the data connector in Radiant Security

1. Log in to [Radiant Security](https://app.radiantsecurity.ai/).
2. From the navigation menu, click **Settings** > **Data Connectors** and click **+ Add Connector**.
3. Search for and select the **Palo Alto Cortex XSIAM REST API** option and then click **Data Feeds**.
4. Under **Select your data feeds**, select the **Palo Alto Cortex XSIAM Cases** data feed and then click **Credentials**.
5. Under **Credential Name**, give the credential an identifiable name (e.g. `PAN Credentials`). If you already have a credential in place, select it from the drop-down menu. Click **Credentials**.
6. In the **Required Credentials** field, enter the API Base URL (`https://api-<YOUR_FQDN>`), API Key and API Key ID.&#x20;
7. Click **Add Connector**.
