Integrate IoT Security with AIMS

Integrate
IoT Security
through
Cortex XSOAR
with AIMS.
By integrating
IoT Security
with AIMS (Asset Information Management System) from Phoenix Data Systems, you can periodically import the device inventory from the AIMS database through
Cortex XSOAR
to
IoT Security
. The integration also lets you manually forward security alerts and vulnerabilities as auto-generated work orders from
IoT Security
through
Cortex XSOAR
to AIMS.
AIMS can be deployed in the cloud or on premises, and
IoT Security
integrates with it through
Cortex XSOAR
in both cases. When AIMS is in the cloud,
Cortex XSOAR
communicates with it directly. When AIMS is on premises,
Cortex XSOAR
communicates with it through an on-premises XSOAR engine.
When importing device information from AIMS, AIMS provides the following device attributes:
  • MAC address and IP address (These are only used to match the other device attributes with the devices in
    IoT Security
    .)
  • Serial number
  • Department
  • Asset tag
  • Location
  • AET (application entity title; provided for DICOM devices)
  • Software version
When you send a work order from
IoT Security
to AIMS for a security alert or vulnerability, the device associated with the incident must already have an asset tag assigned to it. Otherwise, it's not possible for AIMS to find it in its database.
Integrating with AIMS requires either a full-featured Cortex XSOAR server or the purchase and activation of an
IoT Security
third-party integration add-on license, which comes with a free cohosted Cortex XSOAR instance. The basic plan includes a license for three integration add-ons, one of which can be used for AIMS. The advanced plan includes a license for all supported third-party integrations.
