# PTaaS Integrations

The Integrations page shows the integrations you've selected on the Your Integration tab, and all those you have not yet selected, but are available, on the All Integrations tab. Integrations are the connection between all of your NetSPI Platform data and the tools you use daily that need access to that data.

# Workato-based integrations

NetSPI has partnered with Workato to provide an easy path to secure and custom integrations between the NetSPI Platform and your apps. The sections below will walk you through the process of setting up and customizing third-party integrations with the NetSPI Platform.

At a high level, the process to setup and customize integrations is as follows:

  1. Select your integration on the Integrations page.
  2. Agree to Workato agreement.
  3. Copy a default recipe.
  4. Create a NetSPI support ticket to complete the NetSPI necessary configuration adjustments.
  5. Configure company-specific integration (third-party app) items in the recipe, like Jira Project name, etc.
  6. Support notifies you when the NetSPI config is done and then you can test your third-party integration.

# Specific integration requirements

Requirements for specific third-party integrations are detailed below.

# ServiceNow specific configurations

You must use a ServiceNow account that has access to create, read, and update issues in the ServiceNow entity that will be configured.

More information about the ServiceNow Workato connector can be found here: https://docs.workato.com/connectors/servicenow.html#api-version

  11. Select Customize recipe to display the Default recipe page. This is where you will customize the template recipe to be specific for your application environment.

Jira recipe with errors

Note that there will likely be some errors displayed above the recipe, indicating customizations are needed (to correctly sync/map the NetSPI Platform to your application). This is expected.

The first error list are items that NetSPI support will need to configure. Contact NetSPI support and let them know you set up an integration with one of the supported applications and would like support to resolve the errors in that first list.

The second list of items are integration details that you will need to configure as they are specific to your third-party application. The steps below will walk you through an example of configuring this information.

  1. Select Save.

  2. Follow the instructions below to correct your NetSPI Platform -> third-party application integration configuration.

# Configure your new integration configuration connections

  1. Select the Connections tab to display the connections that need configuration.

    Edit recipe

    Each item that needs configuration displays in the left navigation.

  2. Select each of the configuration items, one at a time to correct configuration. Be sure to configure the My application connection setting first.

    Examples:

    • Configuration Item: My application connector
    • Correction to make: This is the NetSPI Platform connector that connects your third-party application to the NetSPI Platform.

    Platform connector

  3. Enter your NetSPI Platform API key in the API key field. The key must be in the following format, and it is case sensitive: "Token api-key-value".

  4. Select Connect. A "Connection established" message should display beneath the button, letting you know the connection was successful.

    • Configuration Item: My JIRA connection

    • Correction to make:

      1. Enter a name of your choice for the JIRA connection in the Connection name field.

      2. Select the authorization type from the Auth type drop-down list. Options include: Basic (user name and password; Jira may no longer support this), API token (your JIRA API token created in your JIRA instance), OAuth 2.0 (safest), and personal access token.

        Jira connection

        Note: You will be prompted to provide further information/credentials depending on your selection in this step, such as JIRA host name, your email, and/or JIRA API token.

      3. Enter the host name in the blank field.

      4. Select Connect. A "Connection established" message should display beneath the button, letting you know the connection was successful.

    • Configuration Item: My Rest connection

    • Correction to make: This is a generic REST connection used for making requests to AWS S3 buckets and pulls down a presigned URL the NetSPI Platform uses as a time-limited permission for object download.

    REST connection

    You only need to select Connect.

  5. Select the Recipe tab and scroll down in the left navigation to view the default recipe for the third-party application for which you entered configuration information in the section above.

    Return to recipe

    Priority and label
  6. Configure the Jira label to be applied when a Platform task is created in your Jira instance by mapping it to ID (a Finding ID from the NetSPI Platform).

# Search integration configuration

This section walks you through the steps to configure how searches occur between your NetSPI Platform and Jira integration.

  1. In edit mode, scroll down in the left navigation and select the Search integration item to display further configuration steps.
    Search config
  2. In the right navigation, update the query (JQL query string for Jira integration) and update the query string so it can locate your Jira project and status change event. This allows the NetSPI Platform/Jira integration to search for findings that your organization has remediated so the corresponding finding's status in the NetSPI Platform can be updated to match.

This example above shows that all Jira issues with a status change to done in the designated project ("platform testing") are pulled out of this project, validated to confirm each is a NetSPI Platform finding in Jira (based on the key). Once confirmed, the corresponding finding's status in the NetSPI Platform finding is updated to a remediated status. There is additional information built into the configuration to determine if it is remediated or not.

# Post integration configuration

This section walks you through the steps to configure how searches occur between your NetSPI Platform and Jira integration. The Post action allows you to configure which columns/table data are shared between your third-party application and the NetSPI Platform.

  1. In edit mode, scroll down in the left navigation and select the Post integration item to display further configuration steps.
    Post config
  2. In the right navigation, view the default data being queried and pulled from the finding model in the NetSPI Platform to Jira. The default filter is set for specific projects, as identified in the values field in the example below. Post filter integrations
  3. To change those default values and/or add additional columns, edit the values field or drag and drop data from the Recipe data dialog box into the right navigation. You can also delete data columns by selecting the garbage icon in the top right corner of each item in the right navigation.

You can also review the NetSPI Platform API documentation to see available values.
