Resolution

The CloudSOC Reach Agent supports interoperability with the WSS (formerly Blue Coat ThreatPulse) Unified Agent. To use this interoperability, you must configure the following domains as “Bypassed Sites” in WSS/ThreatPulse:

For the US cloud:

• api-vip.elastica.net
• app.elastica.net
• gw.elastica
• ens.elastica.net

For the EU cloud:

• api.eu.elastica.net
• app.eu.elastica.net
• gw.eu.elastica.net
• ens.eu.elastica.net

You configure “Bypassed Sites” in the WSS ThreatPulse portal at Network > Bypassed Sites > Bypassed Domains​.
