Integrate Device Security with AIMS

Integrate Device Security through Cortex XSOAR with AIMS.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • Device Security (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
  • (Legacy) IoT Security (Standalone portal)
One of the following subscriptions:
  • Device Security subscription for an advanced Device Security product (Enterprise Plus, Industrial OT, or Medical)
  • Device Security X subscription
One of the following Cortex XSOAR setups:
  • A free, cohosted, limited-featured Cortex XSOAR instance
    AND
    A Cortex XSOAR Engine (on-premises integration)
  • A full-featured Cortex XSOAR server
By integrating Device 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 Device Security. The integration also lets you manually forward security alerts and vulnerabilities as auto-generated work orders from Device Security through Cortex XSOAR to AIMS.
AIMS can be deployed in the cloud or on premises, and Device 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 Device Security.)
  • Serial number
  • Department
  • Asset tag
  • Location
  • AET (application entity title; provided for DICOM devices)
  • Software version
When you send a work order from Device 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 Device 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.
