Risk Monitor identifies software vulnerabilities in your IT estate by combining Snow Atlas data with a list of known software vulnerabilities from the NIST National Vulnerability Database. You can use Risk Monitor to detect security vulnerabilities in your IT estate and update or remove corresponding software. This article provides insight into the integration of Snow Atlas with Risk Monitor.
Prerequisites
Firewall configuration: Ensure the server hosting Snow Extender has access to the following addresses. You may need to open firewalls or get change approval for this.
|
Tested URL |
Expected Response |
|
This is a master server instance. The URL address is used for Risk Monitor integration with Snow Atlas. |
- Configure firewall:
- Ensure the server hosting Snow Extender can access the URL https://snow-inv-rm.snowsoftcloud.com.
- Open necessary firewalls or get change approval if required.
- Deploy Snow Inventory Agent scripts:
To enhance the accuracy of Risk Monitor’s detection, it is recommended that the following scripts be deployed with the agent. For maximum accuracy, deploy both scripts.
-
- Windows updates script:
- Deploy the Agent Scan Extension - Windows Updates scanner PS script to collect Windows Update history from machines, allowing detection of which vulnerabilities have been patched.
- Windows registry script:
- Deploy the Custom Registry script to collect values from the Windows registry.
- Use the following configuration file to collect the Windows build number for each machine:
- Windows updates script:
key;property;lognotfound
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion;CurrentBuildNumber;false
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion;UBR;false
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion;ReleaseId;false
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion;DisplayVersion;false
-
-
- Append these values to the existing keys.csv file if the script is already in use.
-
- Report custom encryption keys:
- Report all active custom encryption keys to decrypt the Snowpacks correctly.
- Verify Snow Extender connection:
The Snow Extender sends data to both Snow Atlas and Risk Monitor. The “Data Forwarder” is responsible for sending snowpack data to the Risk Monitor platform.
-
- Test the connection between the Snow Extender and the Risk Monitor platform URL to ensure a successful connection.
-
- You can also verify the connection in the default Extender Logfile under:
- C:\ProgramData\SnowSoftware\Extender\Logs
- Look for lines with “data-repeater”.
Known limitations
- Allow/Deny lists are not synced from Atlas to Risk Monitor.
- Quarantined/archived/deleted devices are not synced from Atlas to Risk Monitor.
- Organization data is not synced from Atlas.
- Custom end-of-support dates will not be available in Risk Monitor if/when Atlas introduces support for that.
If you are interested in the Risk Monitor platform, contact your account manager or sales advisor.
