Integrating your ServiceNow CMDB with Nipper Enterprise via this authenticated read only API allows the solution to sync and provide continuous, passive and proactive security and evidence-based compliance assessments of networking devices - routers, switches and firewalls - at your network scale. So, you can:

Continuously monitor for configuration drift, and
Gain immediate awareness of configuration changes with automated risk analysis.

The app continuously monitors and tracks changes to the segmentation data and configuration data. Change notifications are pushed to Nipper Enterprise via the app, allowing it to remain in sync and perform proactive assessments as and when the listed networking devices’ configurations change.

Configure the app to control how frequently to push tracked changes to Nipper Enterprise, as well as which CMDB table and fields should be targeted for syncing and assessment. Create and assign agnostic segmentation labels, including aliases and/or cryptic labels, to CMDB Configuration Items (CIs), and only the labels will be pushed to Nipper Enterprise. This enables Nipper Enterprise to perform passive security and compliance assessments of the network without affecting the core operation of the network.

Any configuration information - such as risk-prioritized security and compliance failures and advised remediating action - that Nipper Enterprise then pushes to SIEM, SOAR, GRC or ITSM solutions, will remain obscured by the labels.
