Bitlocker Encryption Status Only

[hhiggins]

I was reading about the new Bitlocker functionality in the new release. We have Bitlocker already deployed in the organization and would like to know if I could use the CortexXDR console as only a "view" or status into the status of Bitlocker on already deployed machines? I am not wanting to control/configure Bitlocker from the CortexXDR console. 

Is this possible?

Thanks

Hi there-

I haven't tested this, so I'm going to reach out to the Product Manager of this feature to inquire.  In the meantime, here is the published process:

https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex/cortex-xdr/cortex-xdr-prevent-admin/endpoint-security/harde...

I expect to have a direct answer to your question within the next 24 hours.

Thanks @dfalcon. I have been through that document prior to posting. I wasn't clear what, if anything, I needed to do for my use case. I will wait to hear back from you if this is even possible.

Thanks

Hi there-

I inquired about configuring Bitlocker outside of Cortex XDR, but viewing the encryption status inside of Cortex XDR.  To quote the Product Manager responsible for this feature:  "Yes, that is correct... we will show each drive and its encryption status."  

That being said, I'm going to try to and configure this in my lab today or tomorrow (depending on work schedule) to take a look.

Thanks @dfalcon! Looking forward to your update.

Hi @hhiggins -

Can you please browse to Endpoints > Disk Encryption Visibility and let me know what shows up for you.

I see bitlocker information as you do in your screenshot! When I looked before posting it was empty I swear 🙂

Thanks

That's great to hear!

Hi @dfalcon   In this scenario would Cortex have access to the backup recovery keys and would we have the ability to retrieve them and use them?
