This functionality helps in monitoring your security posture and identifying assets lacking critical security tools. Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * A user-friendly connector builder framework that guides you through the creation process. * A centralized location to build and manage all SPC integrations for importing custom data into your CMDB. * Monitoring capabilities for published API connectors via the SPC API Integrations tab in the Security Posture Control workspace. ## Prerequisites Before creating an API connector, ensure that you have the necessary service credentials and API documentation ready. The required applications and plugins must be downloaded and activated from the ServiceNow® Store, with admin roles assigned for installation and activation. ## Required Applications and Plugins The following applications and plugins are essential: * Security Posture Control API Connectors (snspccxf v2.0.0) * Security Posture Control (snsecspccore v7.0.1) * Asset Security Posture Management (snseccaasm v5.5.1) * Mitigation Controls Monitoring (snsecmitctrl v4.1.4) * Integrations Commons for CMDB (sncmdbintutil v2.20.0) Additionally, the IntegrationHub Action Template - Data Stream plugin (com.glide.hub.actiontype.datastream) is required. ## Roles Required Assign the **snsecspccore.developer** role for users who need to view and configure SPC API connectors. For advanced scripting capabilities, assign the **snspccxf.admin** role. Create your own Security Posture Control (SPC) API connectors using the connector framework that is included with the application. ## Overview for the connector builder framework {#spc-creating-sgc-template__section_tw1_k4n_pfc} ## Benefits {#spc-creating-sgc-template__section_fd5_t4n_pfc} Create your own SPC API connectors quickly to help you integrate with security tools and import asset data that is based on the unique requirements of your environment. Use imported data to help you monitor your overall security posture and identify assets that are missing key security tools. The connector framework includes the following features. * A step-by-step process to guide you through the connector builder. * A single place to build and maintain all your SPC integrations to import custom data into your CMDB. * After you publish them, monitor your API connectors on the SPC API Integrations tab in the Security Posture Control workspace. {#spc-creating-sgc-template__ul_zgz_fpn_pfc} ## The API connector builder {#spc-creating-sgc-template__section_v3m_3h5_pfc} You use the Connector builder in the Security Posture Control workspace to create and publish your customized API connectors. ## Prerequisites {#spc-creating-sgc-template__section_a4c_ch1_ggc} Before you start creating your API connector, you might prefer to set up any credentials for the service (vendor) that you want to implement with and have their API documentation and credentials handy as you work through the Connector builder. See [Enter metadata](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/1GpTjSFqP93S8iNgUV86yQ "Fill in the metadata for your service graph connector.") for more information. ## Required applications and plugins {#spc-creating-sgc-template__section_vt3_gh1_ggc} The following applications and plugins are required. For more information about applications in the ServiceNow® Store, see [Exploring the ServiceNow Store](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=exploring-servicenow-store&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US) and downloading and activating applications [Download an application from the ServiceNow Store for the first time](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/qGeljAXHdNqRLZ7BfdM03w "Downloading an application from the ServiceNow Store for the first time involves a number of easy steps. Some of the steps are performed on the ServiceNow Store and some in your instance."). Note: If you're downloading applications to non-production or development instances, it's not necessary to get entitlements. Role required: admin for download, installation, and activation of all applications and plugins. {#spc-creating-sgc-template__table_phk_3h1_ggc__entry__2} | Application | Application ID and version | |-|-| | Security Posture Control API Connectors | sn_spc_cxf v2.0.0 | | Security Posture Control | sn_sec_spc_core v7.0.1 | | Asset Security Posture Management | sn_sec_caasm v5.5.1 | | Mitigation Controls Monitoring | sn_sec_mit_ctrl v4.1.4 | | Integrations Commons for CMDB | sn_cmdb_int_util v2.20.0 | [Table 1.
