Aruba AirWave manages campus networks and uses VisualRF to create and manage floor plans and provision access points (APs). When you integrate Device Security with Aruba AirWave, Device Security can learn more information about devices from VisualRF, such as their physical location. This helps when troubleshooting requires locating a device for physical access. Device Security retrieves floor plan maps and imports client information from Aruba AirWave.

Through the integration, Aruba AirWave sends the following information through Cortex XSOAR to Device Security:

When Device Security receives information for devices already in its inventory, it incorporates any additional information from Aruba AirWave into the data it previously gathered from network traffic and behavior analysis. Data that Device Security already has supersedes duplicate or conflicting data from Aruba AirWave. For all other types of data, whatever is the most recent takes precedence, regardless of its source. For devices that aren't already in the Device Security inventory, Device Security creates new entries with the data that Aruba AirWave provides.

Integrating with Aruba AirWave requires either a full-featured Cortex XSOAR™ server or the activation of a Device Security free cohosted Cortex XSOAR instance.
