NetBrain Network Management Integration

Device Security supports integrating with NetBrain to learn about devices from NetBrain’s CMDB. Once integrated, Device Security can retrieve device details from NetBrain’s CMDB and use that information to enrich device information in the Device Security assets inventory. Device Security also creates new devices in the asset inventory for devices learned through the NetBrain integration.

Cisco DNA Center Integration Enhancement

January 2025
  • Enhancement: Added a playbook for Device Security to learn new devices in addition to device attributes.
Device Security integrates with Cisco DNA Center to learn new devices, and to learn about device attributes for existing devices in your Device Security asset inventory. After integrating Device Security with Cisco DNA Center through Cortex XSOAR, you can configure device update jobs to run periodically, or after a manual push.

Third-party Integration Status

Device Security adds a pop-up for you to view the calls for third-party integrations in the Device Security portal. On the Integrations Solutions table under IntegrationsThird-party Integrations, you can hover over the status of an integration to see a summary of successful and failed calls. The pop-up displays calls for both active and disabled integrations.

Custom Alerts Enhancement

Device Security adds "Endpoint Protection" and "Profile Change" as options for the Change Event condition when configuring Custom Alerts. The "Profile Change" event happens when a device's profile changes from the "Target Profile" to a different profile.
