Integrate IoT Security with Rapid7
Integrate IoT Security through Cortex XSOAR with Rapid7.
IoT Security continuously and passively monitors
network traffic in real time to do the following:
- Discover the vendor, model, OS, and serial number of the network-connected devices
- Detect the presence of security measures such as endpoint protection on devices
- Identify anomalous behavior using machine-learning algorithms
- Assess risk by correlating indicators with known vulnerabilities
In
addition, IoT Security integrates with third-party vulnerability
scanners such as Rapid7 InsightVM and Nexpose. You can perform on-demand
vulnerability scans to get deeper insights into device vulnerabilities
or when IoT Security detects anomalous behavior warranting investigation
of particular devices. Such targeted scans complement the passive
monitoring that IoT Security performs on network traffic by uncovering
vulnerabilities on open ports that aren’t generating traffic. IoT
Security incorporates the scan results such as CVEs into its ongoing risk score assessments.
When you initiate a vulnerability scan from the IoT Security portal, it sends a command
through Cortex XSOAR to either a Rapid7 management system in the cloud or on
premises, depending on how it’s deployed. The management system then relays the scan
command to a Rapid7 scanner, which performs the vulnerability scan on the targeted
device. At regular intervals, Cortex XSOAR imports scan results and uploads
them in a PDF report to IoT Security. The two integration workflows are
illustrated step-by-step below.
You
can later send detected vulnerabilities to a CMMS (computerized
maintenance management system) as work orders for tracking and resolving.
Integrating with Rapid7 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
Rapid7. The advanced plan includes a license for all supported third-party
integrations.
