Quickstart Guide

Connect your first data source and see your first correlated alert within 10 minutes. This guide walks you through connecting CrowdStrike Falcon, AWS CloudTrail, and Okta as a baseline three-source setup.

Prerequisites

  • A ThretVyn account (free trial — sign up here)
  • CrowdStrike Falcon API credentials (Client ID + Client Secret)
  • AWS CloudTrail with S3 delivery configured, plus an IAM role with read permissions
  • Okta System Log API token with okta.logs.read scope

Step 1: Create your account and workspace

After creating your account, you'll be directed to the workspace setup screen. Each ThretVyn workspace maps to a single monitored environment (e.g., production AWS account + identity provider). You can add more workspaces later.

Step 2: Connect CrowdStrike Falcon

Navigate to Settings → Integrations → EDR and select CrowdStrike Falcon. You'll need an API client with the following permissions:

  • Detections: Read
  • Incidents: Read
  • Event Streams: Read
  • Hosts: Read

Step 3: Add AWS CloudTrail

ThretVyn reads CloudTrail events via S3 polling (for historical backfill) and optionally via EventBridge for near-real-time streaming. Create an IAM role with the following trust policy:

Note: The external ID is unique to your workspace. Find yours under Settings → Integrations → AWS CloudTrail → Setup Instructions.

Step 4: Connect Okta

ThretVyn ingests Okta's System Log in real-time via the Okta Events API. You'll need a service app with an API token:

Step 5: Review your first correlated alerts

ThretVyn begins correlating events immediately. Within an hour of connecting all three sources, you should see your first cross-source detections. Navigate to Alerts and filter by Correlated to see only incidents that span multiple sources.

You're live. ThretVyn is now correlating events across your EDR, cloud trail, and identity logs. Average time to first correlated detection: under 4 hours after connecting all three sources.
