This integration combines Lumeta’s index of your network with BlueCat to provide your security policy management software with a comprehensive set of network data. The two solutions work together to eliminate gaps in vulnerability coverage and improve your organization's security posture.
The BlueCat integration provides BlueCat customers with a way to ensure that the BlueCat agent is installed comprehensively on all network devices in a particular segment (or multiple segments) as intended. The integration reconciles BlueCat findings with Lumeta findings and insodoing, uncovers:
- Assets lacking the BlueCat agent, which show up in Lumeta-only dashboard widgets and in the BlueCat console.
- Assets to which visibility is blocked, which show up in BlueCat-only dashboards widgets and in the BlueCat console.
- Assets with comprehensive management, which show up in both BlueCat and Lumeta dashboards widgets and in the BlueCat console. A BlueCat user with read-only permissions for the following parameters will be able to configure and use this integration:
- Queries & Reports
- Software
- Software Manager
- System Tree Access
Widgets on Lumeta's Vulnerability Management dashboard are populated using a combination of IPs indexed by Lumeta and IPs from the BlueCat_scanned_ips table and the BlueCat_subscribed_ips table, as follows:
IPs Unmanaged by BlueCat
IPs indexed by Lumeta yet unmanaged by BlueCat
(aka Lumeta-Indexed - BlueCat-Subscribed table on Lumeta)
IPs Unmanaged by Lumeta
IPs managed by BlueCat yet not indexed by Lumeta
(aka BlueCat-Scanned/Managed table on Lumeta - Lumeta-Indexed)
IPs both indexed by Lumeta and in BlueCat managed list
(aka Intersection of Lumeta-Indexed and BlueCat-Scanned/Managed table on Lumeta)
