How to Get Started with the InsightVM Integration for ServiceNow CMDB

Rapid7 is excited to announce the release of a new ServiceNow Platform application for InsightVM with the ServiceNow CMDB. The application is a multi-featured offering available on the ServiceNow Store as an application for the ServiceNow Platform. Integrations provided by the application at release include:


InsightVM Asset Tagging: Create/update InsightVM tags and tagged assets based on ServiceNow CMDB CI (Configuration Item) data.
ServiceNow Asset Import: Import assets discovered by InsightVM into the ServiceNow CMDB, along with risk- and vulnerability-related metrics.
InsightVM Site Configuration: Create/update InsightVM sites and site scopes based on ServiceNow CMDB CI data.

One of the most exciting aspects of this application is how quickly you can get started with it. In addition, it is possible to implement each of the three integrations independently of one another. If you only want to implement Asset Tagging to begin with, the Site Configuration and Asset Import functionality will not be enabled. Before we go over installation and setup of the application, let's take a moment to dive into a few potential use cases.
