Akamai Guardicore Segmentation’s integration with ServiceNow allows organizations to leverage data collected from other ITSM processes to ensure consistent security is extended to assets throughout their lifecycle.
You can generate application and network dependency maps and assign labels with highly accurate CMDB data, then create the appropriate segmentation policies with this joint solution.
With latest version you can also import CMDB assets into Akamai Guardicore segmentation framework.
Akamai Guardicore Segmentation’s no-limit label structure also allows you to take advantage of your ServiceNow CMDB as is — without the need to manipulate labels to ensure you stay under a specific number of used labels.
- Lower security and operational costs by automating workflows using CMDB asset lifecycle Management
- Reduce audit costs through automation and improved information flow on all assets
- Maps the CMDB fields into labels in Guardicore Centra and periodically syncs the servers in the CMDB with Guardicore Centra Assets for enriched labeling, and a faster path to Zero Trust segmentation.
Release 4.1.16
⚠️ Upgrade Notice
Users upgrading from versions earlier than 4.1.x are required to perform additional manual steps as part of the upgrade process.
Please refer to the documentation for detailed upgrade instructions (upgrade to 4.1.x.pdf )
New capabilities
- Import data from Guardicore Centra to CMDB
with previous versions data was brought from ServiceNow CMDB to Centra,
with this version you can enrich your CMDB with data from Guardicore Centra:
- Data imported from Centra can be labels and specific asset information fields as agent_version, agent_id, agent_last_seen, OS informaion - User experience improvement ,
new mapping table was added, allows you to easily map labels from CMDB to labels in Centra and the other direction as well - This version allows to export into Guardicore Centra custom CMDB fields as labels or/and as asset metadata (in previous versions only labels were exported)
- New user experience
At the top of each configuration page the user needs to determine if this configuration is an export or import - The import/export logic is Always override, which means if the field already has a value ,value will be overridden with latest update
- App Privacy Policy was updated
- Documentation was updated
Release 4.0.0
New capabilities
- You can now create labels and assets, upon creating a new configuration the below options available:
● Assets and Labels (default for new configs)
● Assets only
● Labels only (default for existing configs)
Assets and Labels - Assets will be created in Centra, and Labels will be created as well and
statically associated with the created assets
Assets only - Assets will be created in Centra, but no Labels will be created and associated with
them
Labels only - Only labels will be created (with static or dynamic associations ) same as with app
previous versions
- Once assets are imported a new label is created and associated with these assets
key: ServiceNow
it allows the Akamai Guardicore Admin to filter and easily find all assets arrived from
Service Now
- Each asset imported will have the following Metadata information which allow
better understanding and associations to Servicenow CMDB
ServiceNow_config
ServiceNow_app_version
ServiceNow_correlation_id
- Documentation was updated
Release 3.53.9
Fixes
- Improve the labels relationship algorithm implementation in a way that increase its reliability
- Fixed bug with Standard mode when working with Centra v51 and above, Advanced mode is now the default
mode
- Documentation and the App Privacy Policy were updated
- New capability: Added capability to send IPs with masks if original IP contains mask.
This is done by enabling system property , by default it is not enabled and recommended to enable it just if
needed (by default it is not enabled)
System property: x_akt_guardicore.ip_mask_allowed
- Certify for the ServiceNow Zurich version
Release 3.53.8
Fixes
- small fix to enforce using the MID server configuration if applicable in CheckAPIVersion.
With clients that only allow traffic through MID server API to Centra failed while now traffic passes through the selected MID server.
Release 3.53.7
Backend
- Advanced Lookup architecture
- Workflow engine supported
- L2-L3 relations processing added
- Guided Tour
UI Enhancements:
- UI enhancements to configure L2-L3
Fixes
- Label Processing with Complex Relations:
- Fixed unexpected behaviors caused by the handling of labels with complex relationships. The system now processes these labels correctly.
- Supports configuration item (CI) relationships up to L3 (Level 3).
- Bugs with labels missing fixed
- Significant speed up by Advanced architecture mode
- Fixed an unintentional automation trigger of config processing
Debugging:
- Added a summury file generation capability to simplify debugging process
Compatible with Akamai Guardicore Segmentaton versions 48 and later.
