    Summary of Security Operations Integration Configurations

    ServiceNow Security Operations includes various integrations that connect with third-party security tools to enhance incident investigation, enrichment, and response. While many integrations work with minimal setup, some, like Qualys Cloud Platform, require additional configuration steps. These integrations support different types of scans, lookups, and API rate limits, enabling you to enrich security incidents with relevant external data.

    Activation and Configuration

    All third-party integrations can be activated via plugins and configured from a centralized interface within Security Operations. Partners developing new integrations can create and add integration cards to the Security Integrations screen for easy management.

    Practical Benefits

    • Enhances security incident investigation and response by integrating external threat intelligence and log data.
    • Automates incident creation from email alerts and threat data feeds.
    • Supports a wide range of popular security tools to provide comprehensive visibility and enrichment.
    • Enables customization and extension of integrations to fit specific organizational needs.

    Many of the integrations included in the base system require little or no setup, and operate in the same way. Certain integrations, such as the Qualys Cloud Platform, however, require separate steps for setting up the integration. Others support different sets of scan and lookup types and different rate limits.
