Adaptive Shield is a popular Security Posture Management solution that notifies security teams of potential risks in their SaaS environment and attempts to fix them.

First, get an Adaptive Shield API key

  1. Login to your Adaptive Shield account at https://dashboard.adaptive-shield.com

  2. Click on the user menu and select "User Profile"


  3. Click the "API" tab and then click "+ Generate new key"

  4. Name the key and click "Create"


  5. Copy the API key to a text editor

Then, create an Adaptive Shield credential in Tines

Adaptive Shield connect flow (recommended):

  1. Login to your Tines tenant

  2. Navigate to the team that will be using the API and click "Credentials"

  3. Click "+ New Credential" and select "Adaptive Shield" and follow the prompts to connect.

Manual credential creation

This method is not recommended as the Adaptive Shield connect flow creates this credential with much less complexity. However, if you need to create this credential set manually, see the following steps below:

  1. Click "+ New Credential" and select "Text"

  2. Input the values for the Adaptive Shield credential

    1. Name: Required

    2. Description: Optional

    3. Value: Your copied API key value

    4. Domains: *.adaptive-shield.com

    5. Metadata:

      {
      "domain": "https://api.adaptive-shield.com or https://eu.api.adaptive-shield.com",
      "account_id": "your account id"
      }
    6. Access: What other teams can also use the API
