ServiceNow CMDB Asset Import Using the InsightVM Integration for ServiceNow CMDB

Even in situations where the discovery mechanisms provided by ServiceNow are utilized, the coverage may be different from that of scan engine infrastructure deployed for InsightVM. Additionally, InsightVM's asset data includes key metrics that are useful for understanding the risk of assets in your environment.


To provide additional visibility into assets on your network, the ServiceNow Asset Import component of the InsightVM Integration for ServiceNow can be used to better ensure that data in the ServiceNow CMDB reflects the current state of your network. Even for assets already in the CMDB, the integration can still be a useful tool for providing additional vulnerability risk related metrics for those assets.

Asset ID
Risk Score
Last Assessed for Vulnerabilities (Date and Time)
Criticality Tag
Vulnerability Counts
