Export Activity to Custom Webhook

Overview

Akto allows you to forward guardrail activity events to an external system through a webhook endpoint. Webhook export helps enterprise security teams integrate guardrail violations and policy activity with SIEM platforms, monitoring pipelines, or internal security automation workflows.

Akto sends guardrail activity data in batches every 15 minutes to the configured webhook endpoint.

Steps to Configure Webhook Export

1

Navigate to Guardrail Activity in the Akto dashboard.

2

Select More Actions in the top-right corner.

3

Select Export via webhook integration.

4

Enter the Webhook endpoint URL where the external system receives guardrail activity events. Example: https://your-webhook-endpoint.com/events

5

Enable Use gzip encoding when the receiving system expects compressed payloads with the header Content-Encoding: gzip.

Leave the option disabled when the receiving system expects standard JSON payloads.

6

Add Custom Headers when the receiving service requires authentication or routing metadata. Common examples include Authorization headers or X-API-Key headers.

7

Select Save to activate the webhook integration.

Akto begins sending batched guardrail activity events to the configured webhook endpoint every 15 minutes after configuration is saved.

Result of Webhook Integration

Configured webhook integration allows security teams to stream Guardrail activity into external systems such as:

• SIEM platforms

• Security automation pipelines

• Incident response tooling

Webhook export ensures external monitoring platforms receive threat activity data without manual exports.
