The onboarding process for Weights & Biases is different from most
applications, because SSPM does not support scans for Weights & Biases. During
the onboarding process for most applications, SSPM establishes a connection to your
application instance by using credentials that you provide, such as a login password
or an access token. After SSPM has established this connection, SSPM can scan your
application instance's settings by using an API provided by the application or by
using data extraction techniques.
Although SSPM does not support scans for Weights & Biases, you can still onboard
a Weights & Biases application to SSPM. However, when you onboard a Weights
& Biases application to SSPM, you don’t supply SSPM with any authentication
credentials. SSPM does not establish a connection to your Weights & Biases
instance and does not run scans to determine the Weights & Biases settings.
Instead, you will manually enter your Weights & Biases instance's settings,
which SSPM will compare against its recommended settings. You can think of this
process as a virtual onboarding. SSPM creates a tile on the Applications page to
represent your Weights & Biases instance, but this tile is isolated to SSPM.
SSPM will show rule violations for the Weights & Biases instance, but SSPM
determines the violations based entirely on the information that you manually enter.
If you change the value of a setting in your application instance, you must also
manually update the setting value in SSPM. If you don’t keep the setting values
synchronized, the rule violations that SSPM displays will be unreliable.
To onboard a Weights & Biases instance, you complete the following steps:
- Log in to Weights & Biases as an administrator.Logging in will enable you to view the current values of the configuration settings, and, if necessary, update the settings to our recommended values.Log in to Strata Cloud Manager.Select and click the Weights & Biases tile.On the Posture Security tab, Add New instance.SSPM displays the onboarding page, which lists the Weights & Biases configuration settings and our recommended configuration values.From your Weights & Biases instance, identify the configuration values, and provide these configuration values to SSPM.To avoid triggering rule violations in SSPM, you can update the values in Weights & Biases to match our recommended values.You can enter the configuration values in the fields provided, or upload a comma-separated values (CSV) file that contains the configuration values. To simplify the process of creating the CSV file, you can download a CSV template file from SSPM. To upload a CSV file, complete the following steps:
- Select Upload Security Setting Values and then Download Template.Open the CSV template file in a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.Enter the configuration values into the CSV template file, and save your changes.Upload your edited CSV file to SSPM, and Save. You can either drag and drop the file into the File Upload area or you can Browse to locate the file.Connect with Weights & Biases.SSPM adds a tile on the Applications page to represent your Weights & Biases instance. Based on the values that you entered, SSPM will determine if your Weights & Biases instance has any rule violations.Because SSPM is not scanning your Weights & Biases instance, you must ensure that the information that SSPM has about your Weights & Biases instance remains accurate. If you change a setting value in Weights & Biases, manually update that value in SSPM. To do this, complete the following steps:
- Select .Locate the Weights & Biases instance's tile and View Details.Edit Current Value of the setting.
